This thread probably slides over to Page 3 in a matter of a few hours but what the heck, it's still the off season and I am personally curiuos as to what you think of our future CUSA West Division foes. To have added the C-USA East Division would have made this much too long of a project; especially for us who have a touch of narcolepsy. Your admiration points can be anything and maybe not even what would be the usual; for example, check out mine for Rice U La Tech..........Top 25 ranking during part of last Fall and that being what they seem to aim for with their football program which really makes me admire those "Dawgs" of La Tech even more. Rice U...........Rice Stadium was location of my first ever college football game in 1961--Jess Neely was the Rice Owls HFC that Fall. And I believe Kern Tips even did the radio broadcast of this particular game on the Humble Oil Refinery Radio Network (later re-named Exxon)................."Hold That Tiger" and "Put A Tiger In Your Tank?" Southern Miss......IMO, these Golden Eagles are still the chairman of the board in CUSA West the last several years. Tulsa U................I was a Fall, 1968 HS senior last time we beat the Golden 'Canes & that on an ABC TV regional game on Houston's ABC TV's Channel 13; and UNT/Tulsa getting this "SWC dominated market" televised game when very, very few schools in the present Gang of 5 conferences would ever get televised. UTEP...............I get all teary eyed when I see that movie about their NCAA baskeball championship especially in that NCAA Final 4 game against Adolph Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats. UTSA...............Coker is building a formidable football program in the Cradle of Texas Liberty's home city albeit I think they get an NCAA FBS wake up call this Fall.....the Road Runners compete soon, though, in Conference-USA. That's it! GMG!
