we have two stadiums maize, one is not nearly as nice as yours, the other puts it to shame. We play our big games in Reliant, the others at Robertson. Miami, Oregon etc are played in Reliant, they obviously did not consider Louisville a big enough name to book you in there, sorry.

Could really care less what Houston considers a big game since you only average around 20K per home game anyway-(BTW it is nice that you claim the Texans home stadium as your own). Fact is you play the majority of your home games in a High School Stadium. :laugh:

Houston has been nothing for the past 15 years so I can see why you are on here. I would be to if I was in that pathetic conference and supported a pathetic program.

But if a Mid Major fan wants to hang with schools in a BCS Conference then so be it.

If you had any confidence in your own program Maize you would not have that attitude. You are exposing your insecurities and inferiority complex. Do many UL fans feel as insecure as you?

I wouldn't brag about playing in Reliant...if Houston had an oncampus stadium bigger than a Texas 5A high school's stadium the game would've been played oncampus.

I am fine, I have all the confidence in the world in the athletic department of the University of Louisville. Again why are you here, you don't play ANY Big East school. I really don't see many C-USA posters on here nearly as much as you and then you want to complain when we discuss Big East business.

If you don't want to see it then don't come over here.

That is easy to say Maize, but you sound insecure to me. Those doubts are there ....

Now Coog is in my head ROTFLMAO. Ok, Ok you can hang with us Coog if that makes you feel better. Like I said I don't blame you since your program and conference stink to high heaven. Mark this is why he is on here. Did a little research at the conferences and C-USA is in serious trouble. Going by the Elo Cless Sagrain Ratings-(the portion of the Sagrain that the BCS uses for ratings purposes) and they are now behind the WAC.

The reason why the Big East is so high is because of only 8 schools and no real dead weight at the bottom with 5 schools in the Elo Cless Top 50 including UofL at 6. That is over half the conference. So unless someone steps up IF/When we split just keep it at 8. No need to delude the product with substandard football programs.

Conference Ratings Sagrain Ratings Elo Cless:
1. Big 12 78.62
2. ACC 77.58
3. Pac 10 76.57
4. Big East 74.43
5. SEC 73.84
6. Big 10 73.75
7. MWC 71.64, if you add Boise State and Fresno State it goes to 73.47 and if you add UTEP as well it goes to 73.62.
8. WAC 68.62
9. C-USA 63.91

Maize; Are these ratings the result of taking BC and Temple out of the BE, and replacing them with Loui, Cincy and USF?

Also, Do the MWC numbers reflect TCU being in the conference?

Yep, it also takes into account BC in the ACC and Temple in the MAC. This is what Sagrain calls the Simple Average. The other is the Central Average which add more weight to the middle teams. I haven't done the math on that but that should favor the Big East as well.

Maize is exposing his insecurity. He knows that the name of the school is the University OF Houston and like most urban schools the facilities are avilable to them , i.e. USC. Usually when people start throwing turds like that it is because they have their own self doubts. Fact is, when Louisville came to Houston they were not considered a big enough draw to be booked into Reliant, he knows that. Check mate

You check mating yourself because I don't care, it's Houston for God sakes. Last year I was concerned about Memphis, Cincinnati and TCU in C-USA and OOC UK and Miami. I put Houston in the same category as Tulane, ECU and Army.

This year I really don't care about Houston but you still have this obsession with Louisville and the Big East. I find you the one that is insecure. My concern is now Syracuse, West Virginia, Pitt, UConn, Oregon State, Kentucky and UNC.

As John L. Smith would say, tear off the rearview and look ahead.

no, that won't fly Maize, you feel very insecure or all that vile would not come out. I don't hear that kind of stuff on the OU board. Its the 'little man' syndrome Maize. truth is that you and I both know that if Louisville was a big draw they would have been put in Reliant. Frankly, if you did not care, as you say, you wouldn't even reply. There is an old saying in sports "act like you been there." Its obvious you don't think you have.

No vile just speaking the truth. If it hurts then so be it. You are the one on this board talking about Big East realignment and possible expansion. Sorry we are not going that far West to pick up a program that plays the majority of their games in a High School Stadium. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Go on the OU board and spew what you have and they will laugh at you. Like I said it is Houston. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Go to the OU board and talk about maybe one day the Big 12 taking the Cougars because of the Houston market if they go to 14.

And back to the original subject, why are you here. We have nothing to do with C-USA or Houston/Rice. Now go back to your little Mid Major Board and enjoy a "maybe" trip to the Liberty Bowl.

More attacks by Maize, further signs of his insecurity. Why did we not book you into Reliant Maize? That says it all......

TopCoog Wrote:More attacks by Maize, further signs of his insecurity. Why did we not book you into Reliant Maize? That says it all......

I don't know and really don't care. It's Houston :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:.

If I look back I would rather look at a Prime Time Game on ESPN with their number 1 crew broadcasting then a game that was played in front of around 20K in a HS stadium.

Why am I even talking to this fool. He is a joke on two boards and is now branded a Troll on both. I just let him hope for his C-USA with Rice, Houston, SF Austin, UTSA and such.

TopCoog; I bet you would have to book Louisville in Reliant this year, if you were playing them. But really who cares?

Maize; those numbers are impressive for the BE. I bet eldermars is probably crying if he has seen them. His thing was always the MWC with Fresno and Boise would surpass the BE. If your numbers are correct, then the MWC is still behind the BE even with those 2. Funny. Eldermars, where are you?

They are correct, all you have to do is look at the numbers at Sagrain website. BCS uses Elo Cless not his prime ratings and that is the mistake many make.

Of course UL wouldn't be move to Reliant, they don't have the national following yet. Miami and Oregon have been good for the most part for 20-30 years. UL has been a national program for only the last 3-4 years.

Also, the Texans played against Green Bay at home the day after the UL-Houston game. I'm not into horticulture, but I doubt the NFL would like a college game being played the day before on that field.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. Tigers fans I really wasn't directing my comments for you or really the other C-USA programs in the East like USM, ECU and in BBall UAB. I feel for you-(but not your AD).

Maybe in the future we will be together again, but right now with Jurich and Johnson we are in a cold war between the two programs.
