Surprise - Sun Belt Tops Cusa & Mac In Bowl Revenue

UNTFan23 · July 8, 2008

I'm sorry, Mark. You must be confused. Western Kentucky is not the entire Sun Belt even though they ruled your league last year and made MTSU their b!tch in all three major sports.
What you say about alot of those sports that don't matter and don't produce any real revenue doesn't change the fact that every single one of the Belch's member institutions will be underdogs IN FOOTBALL every time they step on the field with a school from one of the six major conferences, and the Suck Belcher most likely will indeed lose. My money will be on the BCS conference school all the way this year. The Belt is even more crap this year than last year.

Wow... impressive testicular fortitude to go way out on a limb there!

The Belt is even more crap this year than last year.

In terms of administration, yes. In football talent... well, you must not be paying attention.

I am grateful this decision is not your's. I think you stand alone in your opinion, and may be choosing your words just to get an extra rise out of the board.

I don't think I stand alone in my opinion. I do believe there are several UNT fans that would rather your school go to the WAC than remain in the slopfest that is Sun Belt football. And the words I choose are simply to magnify my disgust with the Sun Belt and the ignorance of it's leadership. Tell me, just how much money do think UNT will be making in the Belch now their meager portion of BCS revenue they get as a Belch member is going to get smaller once Western Kentucky and South Alabama come on board as full members in the coming years? Only the Belch football schools divided that BCS revenue which wasn't a big piece so WKU and USA never saw any of it despite their membership in all other sports. Now they will get their piece once they upgrade to FBS football. The SBC's portion from the BCS is already the smallest among all Football Bowl Subdivision conferences. The Suck Belt has long discussed the lack of need to add new members due to diminished returns, yet the Belch willingly added Troy State and FAU (two schools that weren't members of the league in any sport) when it could've temporarily gave up it's seat on the NCAA Board of Directors to become a more solid league with what it had and wait for teams like WKU and USA instead of expanding and adding two members that leech off the league and do nothing to help the conference when it added Troy State and FAU. The SBC added those two schools for the sake of adding. Neither have helped the Belch more than the Belch has helped them.

UNT will have to continue scheduling regular beatdowns at the hands of Oklahoma, Texas, and other Big 12 powers to afford the SBC because not only is your piece of pie going to get smaller, your team will still accumulate it's fair share of travel costs with away games in Florida and southern Alabama.

Yeah, the Suck Belt is really headed somewhere. I'll just continue to watch Fresno win the college baseball world series while Hawaii and Boise continue to go to BCS bowls. The WAC sure must suck!

And to the MTSU fans that have been spying on this thread and talking sh!t about me, if you knew half the crap of what really went on MTSU's campus regarding myself, you'd understand why I chose the path I have taken.

I have always believed that if NT has the chance to go to the WAC versus the Belt then I would choose the WAC any day. The consensus for pretty much all the NT fans is it is either CUSA or bust...I dont like that. That is not good planning and the way things should be run. It seems like RV and clan are putting all of his eggs in one basket...or should I say has his hopes all in one basket. The WAC is by far a superior conference than the Belt.

Some things were said about me behind my back by someone in MTSU's athletic administration very VERY likely correlated with some folks connected with BlueRaiderZone.com or GoMiddle.com since all of those entities are very closely connected. I found out about it after our game against Louisiana-Lafayette last year and I have not stepped one foot on MTSU's campus since.

More or less, I was considered a fan who hurt MTSU's image and was an embarrassment to the school. Apparently events such as that which happened at Utah State in 2003 were never lived down. And as you can see by reading some posts on both MTSU messageboards, their fans do not live my past down either trying to remind everyone that reads those threads of every last wrong I may have done such as "single handedly shutting down the old Sun Belt messageboard." One person does not shut down a messageboard, but those comments are further evidence that what was informed to me with all the backstabbing going on at MTSU was fact. MTSU didn't like the kind of fan I was. They didn't want me to know what they really felt of me out of fear of losing my support otherwise I trust they would've said something to me.

Believe you me, I've done so much for MTSU that their administration knows who I am.

Someone or several someones at MTSU screwed you over and you go on a raging hate-fest against everyone in the Sun Belt?

Here's highlights.

I agree with that. It's unfortunate the administration felt I was a complete embarrassment to the school as did some of their bigger fans and alumns. I was just always passionate about MTSU and defensive. That's where I went to school straight out of high school. But now, I'm glad I broke ties with MTSU. I think I cared too much for the school to the point that I really wasn't giving myself a chance to look at what other schools have to offer.

I'm actually headed back to school in the Fall and I'm headed out West to do it. I chose Division II Adams State College located in Colorado because they offered me a scholarship and I really like their Exercise Science programs. They offer a twist to physical fitness with scheduled outdoor fitness challenges like mountain climbing, ice climbing, hiking and much more through their Adventure Programs. Alot of this stuff you couldn't do here in the southeast and especially not at MTSU.

ASC actually plays two FCS schools this fall at Montana State and Southern Utah. I don't think ASC has a good football team though. It's okay. I want to do what is right for me, and MTSU and the Sun Belt was deadweight I cared too much about. It consumed too much of my time, and too much of my money.

I am thankful for the opportunity that Adams State College is affording me.

I definitely respect FCS football more than Sun Belt football. At least FCS football is entertaining to watch and every team has the chance to win a title. You guys don't understand how God awful the Sun Belt really is. I've seen it. I've lived it. It's not as glamourous as some may think.

Go...gate

Are there thoughts of MTSU dropping out of FBS?

RaiderInTheZone

I doubt it, even though they should. That entire conference has no business playing in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Every school figures out its main posters - especially supporters and detractors - and keeps an eye on them - even the big ones. There is no giant effort or crackdown, but it becomes pretty obvious who is who over time. AD officials can then debate whether to give the person acknowledgment of their posts when they meet in person - but usually don't. I've never made a real effort to keep my identity a secret and love when people tell me that "so and so totally knows that's you on GMG," like they just cracked the Da Vinci code. If you post on this board, someone in the AD is making fun of you for something you have said, just said or will say. It happens and they may - gasp - never make the same comments when they see you in person.

Now what happened at Utah State in 2003 and ULLAF that tipped the scales for you?

Base upon your assinine posts, I would agree that you hurt MTSU's image and the Sun Belts' image.

When you finally eradicate your panties from you a$$ crack, take your hate of both to a board that cares.
