Louisiana-Lafayette Loss Guarantees Share of Sun Belt Title for Georgia Southern

Georgia Southern fans dug deep this weekend, daring to pull for the hated Appalachian State Mountaineers to beat the Louisiana Cajuns and give them a shot at the outright Sun Belt title.

Well, App State took care of business. I'll still hate you tomorrow Mountaineers, but thank you.

Winning a conference title on a bye week? That's a hell of a way to spend a Saturday, Eagle Nation.

Let's get it! #GATA #HailSouthern Photo cred: @GaSouthernTroll pic.twitter.com/DJOIpubRU0

Georgia Southern are Sunbelt Champions. A win over ULM would make them the sole champions of the Sunbelt! It's a good day to be a Eagle!

For their part, App now looks dangerous with a five-game winning streak.

This just in....There is 2 new Bully's on the block in the @SunBelt , and it ain't Ark State or UL Lafayette. #HailSouthern

But that damn bowl ban is still there. Wump wump.

Georgia Southern could go 9-3, be the only Sunbelt Champions and still not be in a bowl. @NCAA Do the right thing. Send Southern Bowling!

Southern can actually lose Saturday and back into an all-out title if Troy upsets ULL. But no, it won't be necessary.

I don't know about you eagle nation I don't like sharing trophies let's pack Paulson and win the whole damn thing!! #PackPaulson #gata
