    How is that weird? They are twice as big, have an endowment six times as large, and were established 33 years before Monroe. No, the weird part is the range of schools that are in the UL system: 

    Grambling St., Louisiana Tech, McNeese St., Nicholls St., Northwestern St., Southeastern Louisiana, ULL, ULM, UNO

    Louisiana Tech has a much better claim to be considered the flagship than Monroe does.

    Oh, not in comparison to Monroe, just that a school with such a low national profile actually is the "University of Louisiana". It makes sense when you think about it and realize LSU is off in its own world.

    As did I. Lot of sunshine pumping and talk of “more upside”. Leal, Wilson, and Bragg are the big misses. We never really had a chance with Cupp as he was aggy from the jump. Jimbo may have caught the staff a bit by surprise early. He seemed to waive (come on man) the white flag on the 2018 class and get a jump on 2019 more aggressively when he came in. You can kind of see him doing the same for 2020 to build a core of elite guys but we are countering. That plus the rampant cheating and first year bump gives aggy a good class at the end of the day. Losing Brewster should hurt a little, but I expect our in state haul to be really good next year. 

    Jimbo had a decent 2018 close - he brought in a bunch of SEC country mercenaries, including a good QB.

    I thought they were the home team, being the #1 team in the conference?

    They are, but since they decided to go with mostly white alts, we're in burnt orange

    The reason why Texas State didn't get into CUSA is simple -- they have next to zero media market.  

    This is my 20th year here.  When I got here, the football games were broadcast on the campus radio station.  They eventually got them on a radio station in New Braunfels, but you couldn't get that station after dark in San Marcos, so they bailed on that, and went back to the campus radio.  And did nothing else.

     When we applied to CUSA, they asked, "What's your media market?"

    Our stooges said, "Oh, we're in the middle of Austin and San Antonio, the fastest growing metro area in the country!"

    CUSA replied, "OK, which radio stations in those markets broadcast your sporting events?  And please provide copies of all of the articles about your athletic program from the Statesman and the Express-News."

     And Trauth and Teis just shit their pants.  

    I think the football games are now on 1300 in Austin and a similar station in SA, but that's too little, too late.

    Your AD sounds like a fucking moron (on top of all the other reasons he's a moron that have been shown in this thread). How on earth did he and the president not predict that media reach would come up? And how was he comfortable with football games on campus radio?

    Then again if he's nickel-and-diming the football Gatorade budget, what does one expect I suppose...

    first poona now charles o wins dlineman of the year in the big 12. oscar has a lot to sell.

    He'll get to it right after he finishes the new season of the Great British Bake-Off. He's heard that new Sabrina reboot is pretty good, too, but he'll free up a Sunday morning after church to call some kids if Herman asks nicely.

    Who? They play University of Louisiana at Lafayette on Saturday, as opposed to University of Louisiana at Monroe. ULM might as well start calling themselves Louisiana, just to fuck with those cajuns.

    ULaLa is, weird as it is, the flagship of the University of Louisiana System, so they can do that. LSU is just off doing their own thing.

    😂😂, not at all surprised that Brewster is leaving Fisher. Expect the receiver coach Craig to leave soon as well. The station was never lit,only shit.

    After starting the aggy-LSU fight I'm guessing it won't be for Baton Rouge
