Well on the bright side, if ODU does move up it will free up another spot in the playoffs for 2012 - they'll be a transition team, like UMass last season. Supposedly C-USA wants an answer quickly so this process shouldn't drag along too long.

What is the cutoff date to announce and still be playoff eligible? Someone on the JMU board a couple weeks ago said July 1, but don't know if thats true or not. UMass made their announcement last yr in April.

I think they then brought in additional scholarship players above the 63 that made them ineligible. So it may be a two part requirement; 1 - declare by a certain date and 2- remain at 63 or less scholarships until the season is over.

Old Dominion will join C-USA

Some of us are still hoping that the "crazy fog" that has recently settled in over Tidewater Virginia (The area from the fall line to the sea.) will lift and all will return to normal.

I have a feeling that if we accept this invitation, we will defer moving up to the FBS until 2014 or 2015, which would still make us eligible for the -playoffs in 2012-2013.

So CUSA is becoming another Sun Belt.

Becoming? It IS another Sun Belt.

Apparently there is a little constipation involved.

Gawdammit!

Begone already.

Btw, I wouldn't have joined that craptastic conference either, if I were ODU. That conference is just a slim cunt hair better than the Sunbelt. Yikes.

[grizzaholic]

Being the guy that I am, and not liking change, I think ODU should stay in the FCS.

Imagine back when you were 21 and hitting the bar scene. You have been working out lately, so you are looking and feeling pretty good. You have this long-term relationship with an average-looking girl with a decent personality (THE CAA). It has not been the best (or worst) relationship you have had, but has gotten somewhat stale, and you think you can and should find a better and hotter girl, even if you are giving up a sure thing. You also occasionally get angry with your current girl's father, Mr. Yeager, who appears to never want to leave Richmond and openly favors his daughter hooking up with some greasy, unkempt art student.

As you look around the room, there are 3 girls that look available. The first looks like absolute trailer-park trash, but has had some "work done". She is pretty hot in a sleezy sort of way. We'll call her the SunBelt. You hooked up with her a few years back, and it was fun, but she is bat-assed crazy and somewhat unstable; and rumors are she may have an STD. You decide she is not worth pursuing.

Next you see an older girl (The MAC) who is a definite upgrade over your current gig. She carries herself much better than SunBelt, and has a terrific personality, but you can tell she is already past her prime. So much so, that it appears she has quit trying to look as hot as she once was. Plus she has a northern accent, and calls soda "pop", and pizza "pie". You don't like that at all, nor her leg hair stubble when you dance with her. While you really think she's pretty cool, you figure she is just a couple of Happy Meals away from ballooning up. You decide to pass.

Finally, you see an incredibly cute chick across the room (The CUSA). One who has had her ups and downs, and some ugly breakups in the past, but you really like. Assuredly the best looking of the three, and hands down better than your current girl. She also has a little chip on her shoulder from a perceived lack of respect for how hot she is, which you keenly infer will mean she will try harder to please anyone that takes a chance on her. Until recently, she was out of your league. However, you make a move and dance with her, not thinking much would come from it. Man, she felt good and looked even better up close. Low and behold, she invites you back to her apartment. You know this is a now or never opportunity, as she is all about getting the respect she feels she is due. Spurn her now, and you never get a chance again. While it would be harsh to dump your current girl, you ponder the option..............

I know what I would choose. ODU, do the right thing and say "YES" to the CUSA. Now.

Then you sober up and realize CUSA wasn't attractive at all, that she was really SunBelt's trashy sister, and you should probably get yourself checked. Delusions of Grandeur Goggles are a hell of a thing.

It looks like ODU will announce the move in mid-June because if we do it before June 1, we'll be ineligible for the FCS playoffs this season. This way, we'll officially begin our transition in 2013 until we start CUSA play in 2015.

OK. If you will be leaving, you had better make the playoffs this year and come visit Wa-Griz. I got the beers.

I hope Trip, Flagship and the rest of the ODU fellas don't leave.

Except maybe Razor.

And how are we going to replace our #1 muslin?

I wouldn't worry about that. When the top muslin disappears, another always steps into his place.

Will you quit talking bad about Trip? Really...you should be ashamed of yourself. If he leaves, who will you *joke* with?

Probably SD. He's muslin right?
