Who has a better Profile Marshall or N. Texas. I think the new conf has already spoken. And your idiotic rant the other day about C-USA going to resend our invite was the funniest thing Id saw this year. Have fun in Troy ...... Ya gonna be playin MANY games there.
You are a real goober, you know that?:)
Firstly you should be reminded if UNT or UTEP gets the invite, there will still only be 4 Texas schools in CUSA as "Texas" Christian U was obviously in the Lone Star state; so in essence, no changes in the number of Texas schools in CUSA period. Why the dramatics on 4 Texas schools in CUSA.
I'd say CUSA needs the exposure of 4 Texas schools in it largest populated state as to try to get some semblance of media coverage away from the Big 12 and in DFW, the Mountain West Conference and TCU. There used to be a league down here called the Southwest Conference that had 8 Texas schools in it for almost 100 years. I tend to think 8 is a bit much, though--so did Frank Broyles and the Arkansas Razorbacks who left it as a "Texas only" league before the advent of the Big 12.
THEN.....You say IF UNT gets the invite, yall will pull out. (Have you informed your AD of your decision on that one)? I'd bet he would disagree with you on that (as well as many other things that come from your most tunnel-visioned keyboard).
THEN....you say, "the funniest thing I'd ever "saw" this year was my post when I said CUSA would pull a Big East/Temple scenario on yall and kick your butts out. (Hey! I was just kiddin' on that one).
In the Southwest where most of CUSA's population is centered, NORTH TEXAS has more name ID and a better profile than Marshall based on geography alone and recent successes. You know how yall stockpiled a few years of successes in the MAC? Well, that is exactly what we are in the midst of doing in the Sun Belt. But more people down here are supposed to know more about us because this is where the hell we are located for heaven's sake.
Many out there also know we have many rich and famous alums. (Later, I'll give you that list if you want proof of who all those alums are). Yet, until yall were brought into CUSA, I'd say most down here really didn't know what state yall were even located for the most part. All I knew is that yall would annually beat up on some schools in a league called the MAC that (until only last year) has had some real wussies for your football competition.
Obviously down here, MAC football did not get any exposure whatsoever and hardly got southern/southwesterners all lathered up when we would hear your scores on Sports Center as well. Most could have cared less as I'm sure yall could have cared less about scores down here.
BUT.....Marshall did in the MAC what UNT is presently doing in the SBC and that is dominating the league and going to bowl games AND being televised which helps immensely in national name ID.
UNT also has an 18 game SBC football winning streak going. We also go to the best non BCS bowl destination city (that is accessible to our fans/students/alums) for a bowl game, ie, the NEW ORLEANS BOWL. Just ask the great U of Memphis fans how much they enjoyed going to New Orleans but in a bowl setting--I was told they had a royal blast at the bowl game--never mind the score).
Actually, the only thing I knew about Marshall previously is I knew a girl from Hawkins, Texas, whose brother died in your school's football team's very tragic plane crash many years ago.
I am embarrassed to say this, but all these years I thought Marshall was in Ohio. Sorry.....
