We can’t pack The Vet, but we will definitely pack some far away city stadium. Pensacola has been a great venue for SBC Basketball, is there a suitable football venue there?? Panama City? Just thinking outside the usual box.. Both desirable winter venues? Closest thing to P'cola is Ladd-Peebles in Mobile or Southern's place. Troy's fans travel well. According to what I see coming to Troy, Troy attends away games better than any other team. ULL/ULM game may be better attended. ODU travels pretty good, especially to JMU and vice versa. IF we ever get to a neutral sight, I agree that filling the stadium with two SBC schools would be difficult so there would have to be some other attraction. We didn't even fill the Cure Bowl last year in Orlando. I think all the conference championship games are played on the first Saturday after the regular season (the Army--Navy game is an exception) so it would be a weekend game and they are better attended. I was just thinking out loud (well on the keyboard) that if the SBC continues its path in football, it will get to the point that we could fill a neutral sight on a weekend if at a nice location that everyone could drive to or at least get a cheap flight.

I love hosting the championship game. But having it at a fairly centrally located (MS, AL, or TN) neutral stadium i think would elevate the status of the Sun Belt. I wonder if anyone in the New Orleans office is thinking about it. Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Independence Shreveport, or even Legion Field could be a fit. There's others I'm sure.

I think you need some P5 wins to have a top 25 resume, or beat someone in the top 25, or go undefeated. If we had beaten JMU we'd probably be ranked.

As we saw yesterday in Boone, anything can happen on any given Saturday. That said, Coastal lost yesterday ay to Army, and they play JMU Saturday. I think that gives the edge to Appy. Then I damn sure want to host .......... Boone, NC in December is too cold.

Texas State is the real deal. It will take four tough quarters to beat them.

Arky State changed quarterbacks for the last three games and he has made a difference. He's got a good completion 67% rate and he's also their 2nd leading rusher (almost tied with their leader). Very mobile and hard to contain. He'll be a challenge to deal with.

Jawja St. is vulnerable in the secondary. Tell Watson to just throw it about 2 feet over everyone's head and let Lewis catch it.

One other simple concept: I am trying to figure out the medical term for a phobia of headsets? I think Sumrall is fantastic but he appears to have a love hate relationship with headsets. Perhaps our center snaps improving would help in curing this peculiar ailment. Also would not hurt if our officiating crews drank less before refereeing our games. But Jon was winding up for a good headset thrashing when apparently a headset psychologist intervened the headset execution. I'm not sure I agree with a prolonged diatribe directed towards the officials. Let the official know that he made a bad call; especially on judgement calls like holding. Let the team know you will stand up for them. But once the decision is final get your last word in and move on. If you have to be restrained, you are close to being thrown out of the game and/or turning the refs against you on 50/50 judgement calls.

They can laugh about it while they're sitting on their couch watching us play our bowl game later this year. His behavior no matter what the students were saying is poor. However, I can’t see why they have not had a waiver after one year. There seems to be few old rules followed. I would like to get a second chance with them if we are fortunate enough to get there. This will not occur no matter what their record will be. I hope they lose a couple because the worst would be them running the table and us winning out and listening to their UCF claim to the title. Maybe the worse thing is a whole lot worse than that but it sure would be annoying to have the asterisk by a championship. Now with that said: next game and forget the matter because it is done did! You can take taunting too far. I've been all over the country watching football games and the Southeast has a reputation for the worst fans. Kansas State applauded when Lewis made a spectacular grab; Nebraska applauded when our players left the field; there's no reason to be nasty, threatening, vulgar, or anything else that is intended to degrade, intimidate, or incite a like response. Good natured ribbing is fine. I sat with some Missouri fans one year and we went back and forth all game. No one got out of line and we all enjoyed the game and wished each other well at the end/ I'd rather have our fans applaud our opponents, invite them to tailgate, thank them for giving us 4 hours of competition, and wish them a safe trip home.

Finebaum says: It's over for PAC 12 DUH Old TV contracts were based on cable packages. That has gone down A LOT. So, unless you be BIG 10 and SEC with massive viewership of top games the pie "shrunked" a big chunk. Good leadership said: Lets cut the line and get our deal done before those "arrogant Bas..... out West. Meanwhile PAC 12 (soon to be PAC 6) caught with pants down due to their arrogance and stupidity. My point is how important it is to hire people who know which side of the bread college in general is buttered. Athletics is an important part. Academics is the goal but the butter that makes your institution more desirable to folks is that athletics thingy. What drives athletics? Football. Let's never hire another dweeb.! Not sure what a "dweeb" is but `in the above writers opinion, it's probably not good

I don't like a lot of things about NIL, but I don't like anything about our national government getting into NCAA business Nothing about this gives me the warm fuzzies either. But, where there is NO REGULATION, Uncle Sam is willing to "help". Totally on the NCAA for lack of a plan. I agree it's on the NCAA. I just don't want the government in college football to "make it better".

trash talk Troy like it’s a miserable place. James Madison wasn’t even that good of a president if recall correctly. But his wife made some dang fine snack cakes!!! Actually he was a decent President and surprisingly would be about the age of our present one if still alive! Wasn't that Dolly Madison??

I was just curious; not saying the fans were at fault. Just wondering what their take on it was.

Just wondering if anyone has checked the ODU boards to see if they are acknowledging the missed call. Anyone can go the the ESPN site and listen to the announcers make the call.

If South is to be a truly rivalry game, shouldn't it be the last game of the season like other conferences
