    We won 2 titles in all our years in CUSA. We have no room to get cocky until we win something on the field.

    But our defense was horrible in the sumlin years. If they don't win that joke of a division then Levine should lose his job plain and simple.

    Oline has to play a lot better if we have any hopes of winning conference. We struggled offensively against Louisville, UCF, and UCinn last year.

    Cougars will likely go undefeated. This is more less like going to the beach until we get to the bowl game.

    Know what doesn't suck? 15 million bucks over 10 years.

    Here are some other recent football stadium deals:

    Houston got a hell of a deal. Was hoping it would be FRENCHY'S STADIUM, though.

    I think that truly is the worst stadium name I have ever heard. But I guess it's hard to turn down 15 million.

    I wonder how long until celebrities start putting their name on a stadium? Welcome to Kanye West stadium, home of the Houston Cougars.

    Jeez people. Ever heard of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium? Alberton's Stadium? KFC Yum! Center? Save-on-Foods Memorial Center? Overstock.com Coliseum?

    Trust me, it could be a lot worse.
