- The topic body has to be something more than "Nm". That is to say, your title shouldn't be the entirety of your post. This isn't TSL. You don't have to be an essayist, but a few well-thought sentences generally makes for a much better discussion to follow. If you're referencing a Tweet, article or YouTube video, link or embed it. Provide a source. Explain why someone should click on link. Facilitate a conversation with your initial post, then lead the discussion.
- Share original content (e.g. embed the original tweet, not a link to another post/website with said tweet), add context / relevant information (e.g. Hudl film for a topic about a new scholarship offer to a recruit).
- Don't post threads with the sole purpose of riling people up. For instance, "ESPN just said ______ about us - they suck!", "Bleacher Report sucks!", etc. are not worthy of topics \ threads.

Virginia Tech (4-3, 3-1 ACC) has lost two of its last three games. This is also a Hokie team that lost a game to FCSFBS Old Dominion --at home ODU-- in September and gave up 465 rushing yards against Georgia Tech's option attack last week.

Ah...we lost to an FCS team...JMU all over again...hehhehehehehe....I hate ESPN, they probably don't even know what conference ODU is even in.....Conference USA is basically the old Sun Belt. AAC is the old Conference USA

The only team from the "old Big East" still in the AAC is Temple, and they were even kicked out for a couple years before being invited back after everyone else left.
VT, Miami, BC, Syracuse, and Pitt are in the ACC.
Rutgers is in the B1G.
WVU is in the Big XII.
Hell, even Louisville, a team that was brought from the C-USA during the first round of realignment, has already moved on to greener pastures.

Edit: I'm actually confused by this whole comment. Which old Big East are we talking about because Cincinnati and USF were morphed into the AAC. UConn was a charter member of the Big East in the 70s.

I'm talking about the "old Big East" football schools circa 2003, when we were still in it. UConn was still in FCS at that point, but yes, they were a charter member of the conference before the Big East added football in the '90s.
By the way, that same year there were 11 teams in the C-USA. 6 of them are currently in the AAC, while one (Louisville) stopped there temporarily en route to their current home in the ACC. Of the other 4, USM and UAB are still in the C-USA, TCU is in the Big 12, and Army is an independent.
Of the other 4 teams in the AAC right now, 1 came from the MAC and 2 from the WAC with a stop in the C-USA in between, and Navy was an independent. Meaning 9 of the current 12 AAC teams were from one of two waves of C-USA teams.
The current C-USA is made up of football teams from the following places in 2003:
- 2 from the C-USA
- 1 from the MAC
- 2 from the Sun Belt
- 3 from the WAC
- 3 from FCS
- 3 didn't exist

The body of this thread???
The ODU game was on the road. /Thread
It also says ODU is FCS.

Thanks for the tips. Never posted anything before on here. Not an excuse just still new.
Understandable! Not pushing you away, and thanks for the daily laugh at ESPN 's expense.
Absolutely
That's why I shared it.
It is funny they messed up the game location and FCS in the same sentence.
What should be the body of this post:
Among other errors, ESPN posted:

I thought AAC is the old new Big East? (As opposed to the old old Big East, which is the conference we used to be in.
The AAC is the remnants of the old Big East and the some of stronger CUSA teams.

Leg. I totally bombed on that one.
UConn?

I think we are talking about the football Conference as we knew it when we left. At that point I don't think UConn had a football program, yet.
And don't this year either...DFL in pts and yda per game.
The old old Big East was when we were in it. The old new Big East was after we left with Miami and BC.

I thought the ACC was part of the Old Southern Conference.
They must have been paying attention when ODU moved up to FBS and actually went to a bowl game.
Why do I click on threads that have no substance?
why do I cheer for a team that for 20 years had no offense and then it finally gets one and it has no defense.
that wasn't dog shit, it was actually espn
It's from Stats, LLC - which I guess is trying to be like The AP, but for sports?
Fuck Matt Ryan
