Hey guys, I'm not an LU alumn, but I'm a big fan of mid-major basketball. My roommate is on here a lot cause he's an LU alumn. You know him as jack sparrow. I graduated from Samford in 04, and I just wanted to update all of you about the OVC-SoCon shakeup. I have legit inside sources in Samford's A.D. who have told me that the move to the SoCon is not a matter of if, but when. In addition to that info, I thought you might find this column from today's b'ham news quite supports my claim and is pretty interesting.

As a graduate of another southern baptist school that's also home to an average basketball team, I look forward to discussing 1-AA sports with everyone on here, and I'll keep you guys up to date on everything I hear from our side of the spectrum.
P.S.- While they're not a conference rival (yet) , I can tell you that App state is the mid-major I hate the most.

Thanks for the info hoops, and welcome to the board.

That sounds like optimistic talk. It's always an "if" until it's done.

[PAmedic]

always nice to hear from JACK SPARROW's boyfriend.

I mean, "roommate"

Again, I have my solid, inside sources. Trust me, this is a done deal.

[LUconn]

if you were the AD himself I wouldn't say it's a done deal until it's in writing.

[hoopsmalone]

well, i guess we'll just have to wait a whole week before my claim comes to fruition

Hey, it's not like that, otherwise we'd be in massachusetts. With a screenmame like that though, he really is inviting those jokes.

[PAmedic]

hey, we take all kinds here.

as long as you're happy

(glad you're not Google searching my address and loading up the van to come looking for me, though)

We've been hearing about this move for some time. Our friends at Coastal Carolina had hoped they would be the ones getting the invitation. The only question now is whther or not the SoCon will expand any further.
