Tongue and cheek but nice pic of him in a national publication with C-USA banner in background.

Haha.

Though the Mountain West played things perfectly with their divisions, I'm really glad CUSA is behaving well and applying logic to such things.

Cannot quite say the same for some other conferences...

Basically, the nBE is full of teams who refuse to sit at the nerd table, yet no popular people want them at their table. Sure, a couple may get picked to join the popular table, but at the end of the day we all are in the same spot. Once they (SMU, Memphis, USF, Tulane, ECU) are able to admit and accept it, we can actually build a "mid-major" conference that makes sense. Until then the nBE will just keep trying to be somebody they are not.

nBe is basically the original CUSA. Look at the first seven members of CUSA and all are in nBE except Louisville (ACC), and USM (CUSA).

Nothing has changed in 15 years except the patches on the jerseys.

Same as the old WAC and MWC comparisons.

Meh. Should have been the swimsuit issue.

Bringing sexytime back?

I shot that picture.

You're gonna have to find somebody else for the swimsuit spread.

That's pretty funny. Rick's hair is totally white! Hard to believe it's been over a decade that he's been our AD.
