Do you know anyone that roots for a G5 school (other than USM)?

Just a random thought that came across my head.

I can't think of anyone that I know that roots for a G5 school (other than USM, of course).

Good question, with a very revealing answer.

The Middle Texas International HillPanther crew won't like this, but I've known plenty of people who follow AAC schools. Tulane baseball for sure, but I also had a neighbor who followed Cincinnati basketball and wore Cincy stuff all the time.

And UConn must have millions of fans.

Yes, know several. La Tech (several), Ohio, Tulane, South Alabama, and UCF. Likely others but those immediately come to mind

There are quite a few folks in the Baton Rouge area that I know drive over to Lafayette and support the Ragin Cajuns.  Not everyone here is a stankin lsu fan.

I don't go out of my way to watch them but I always respected ECU in baseball and football. Our programs are very similar with the exception that ECU has much more money these days. We own them in football 27-12 and 26-21 in baseball. They won the last two football meetings. I wish we could get them on the schedule for baseball and football again.

ECU can go to hell. I don’t get why our fans have such a hard-on for those guys. They do not respect us or care about us. If they did, they would have gone to bat for us in AAC expansion. They didn’t, and Tulsa got the last spot. USM was left to die.

I didn't realize this.....I would have thought Tulsa was selected because:

They are in the 60th media market nationally....not the 163rd....
They have over 6 million more annually in their athletic budget.....
They have almost 1 billion more in their university endowment compared to USM.......
They rank in the top 90 of national universities.....not 240ish.....

Damn them Pirates all to hell for not getting us selected. Had I known all the other "stuff" wasn't relevant and ECU had the voice of reason I would have never had that hard on you referenced....

Those SOBs got tired of getting their asses beat and figured out a great way to stop it.  They knew our leadership was/is hapless and just left us behind.  I don't think it was an accident at all. 

I just hope Loserville realizes now that had they not lobbied so hard in the past that maybe the Metro would still exist as an All-Sports conference and it would most likely be a Power conference as well had all the original players stayed.  More than half of those involved have to suck the infected hind-tit of the $ec and have for the past 30 years.  They are nearly as fucking stupid as AKL, Martha, RG, the Rev, the old shithead mayor, etc.

"Know" being the key word in your statement.  I do know a few MTSU and Memphis fans.... but, considering I live in Middle TN, that's really not too impressive. hmm
