HUNTINGTON — July 1, 2013, marks a new beginning for Conference USA.

Eight established members are officially joined Monday by eight newcomers in the new C-USA alignment.

Marshall, East Carolina, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTEP welcome Charlotte, Florida International, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee State, North Texas, Old Dominion and UT-San Antonio to the league.

“We’re really excited at Marshall with our new members coming in,” Thundering Herd men’s basketball head coach Tom Herrion said in a video clip on ConferenceUSA.com. “I think it’s the first time our fan base has felt so energized because of the regional games the new membership provides to our fan base.

“I think it’s so valuable to us and it’s only going to enhance our enthusiasm for Conference USA.”

Old Dominion and Charlotte will compete in all C-USA sports this year except football. The Monarchs and 49ers are schools in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) — the level formerly known as NCAA Division I-AA — until moving up to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level and entering C-USA competition in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

This will be as good a Go5 conference there willl be because look below at the home cities/areas of some pretty darn good schools, some very cool and interesting regions of the good ol' USA that our present team, new recruits, future recruits and all the Mean Green's traveling fans will get to go for away games and, of course......all the other CUSA schools will all get to come to the dynamic, burgeoning with warp speed growth North Texas Metroplex featuring that city at the tip top of the D-D-FW Golden Triangle...Denton, Texas, America! (Our entire Metroplex area will surpass New York City in population in just a few short years to put some perspective on this as well as the dynamic exposure all CUSA schools will get when they come to the northern part of the Lone Star State).

(clink! clink! spoon hitting side of champagne glass):

So....A toast to Conference-USA! Here! Here!

Hellsbells! Let's WOBBLE! :party0023: (Hey! Mick Jagger and the 'Stones are in their 70's and still rockin'--so watch out for us Baby Boomers because we won't go easy to a rockin' chair) ! :lol2:

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
