I will miss the lovely curtain for the hoops tournament.
Additionally I will miss the games on Facebook on Tuesday nights.
The Thursday/Saturday basketball set up was the stuff of dreams.
I will also miss the kind and humble fan bases in Huntington and hattiesburg.
Just kidding. This league was a joke. Hope app enjoys it!
The only thing I will miss is remembering that we were founding members of the league.
Thats it.
The Lutz Invitational
CUSATV you were a gem
Judy McLeod and the damn curtain.
The “whopping” almost 400k annual TV contract… not sure how the AD will adjust without it…
The AAC guys keep talking about how little the current CUSA schools pulled in tv revenue and no one is mentioning shes a really really bad commish.
The toy car.
Beating Cincinnati, Louisville and Memphis…otherwise…
Topic intention may be a bit tongue in cheek but I’ll play:
With that said, I’m as excited for our future as I’ve ever been. Go Niners!
Without a doubt, the social feed on our Facebook Live streams. How will life go on?
This. I prefer to forget most everything about the current CUSA.
I’m going to miss marshall and usm fans talk about the natural order of realignment and how we should know our role while they get ready to move up the conference ladder
Traveling to play UTSA and UTEP on the same weekend road trip. Those schools are 550+ miles apart and in different time zones.
Talk all the junk you’d like about CUSA but if we were never invited back we wouldn’t have FBS football today and the fanbase would be flatline dead right now. Phil Dubois did not intend for us to have FBS football. Being a FCS independent would have made our football program a novelty and homeless without a conference. You may make the argument that the Sunbelt wanted us also but notice how many teams from the Sunbelt just got invited to the AAC.
I have a healthy respect for most of the schools in CUSA. They are all a lot like us fighting for respect in their own state against the older establishment schools. I’ve been to away football games and basketball games at many of the CUSA schools. MTSU and WKU are close to Nashville which is a fun weekend trip. ODU is near VA Beach and not so far away. Marshall has a loyal and proud fanbase.
Finally, if we had won more games in CUSA I think we could be thumping our chests a little more but we never came close to winning the conference in basketball or football so maybe have a little humility and gratitude that we were still able to move up to the AAC.
Truth! We were so fortunate that C-USA gave us a shot the 2nd time around. Phil was about to go beg the Big South to let us be a football only member before the invitation from C-USA came.
Of course the things I miss from C-USA are from our time in the league when it was founded to 2005. We had big time college basketball on our campus with Louisville, Cincy, Memphis, Marquette coming to Halton, and many times those teams left with an @ss beating. Those games hooked me as a 49er fan for life.
It gave Charlotte a place to play FBS. It was an exciting basketball league that enabled good recruiting until the Big East raided it. It is still a good soccer and baseball conference today.
Judy’s Jeep, The Curtain, Facebook Live Streams, Texas Tournaments, marshal fans, and C-USA TV.
