Hopefully they started. Are they impact guys?

Have no idea how golf works at any level except putt putt, but hell yeah ladies!

Would like to see an association with the MWC. This could give us some separation from the C-USA and MAC they can form their own group. Both could have playoffs and a championship.

For everyone who says they love Bodacious in Longview, (as you should, it's great), try Country Tavern just outside of Kilgore next time. Maybe the best BBQ I've ever had.

Congrats. I guess we got an at large bid?

Let's say 12 teams. That's 11 games. What is going to produce more straight revenue before considering expenses? 11 bowl games with 22 G5 teams or 11 tournament games involving 12 G5 teams? I think the tournament. Instead of playin for 11 trophies, you are playing for one. Half the teams you see playing this Saturday are playing next Saturday and you start recognizing players and coaches and get more engaged. So I think replacing 11 bowl games with 12 game tournament is likely to produce more money while costing less to put on because the participants own the stadium, at least until the final, half the teams aren't traveling. The ones that travel are staying one or two days instead of four. You've got no need for a local ticket selling person in each bowl town, the home team does the hustling to sell tickets. Lower cost more drama. It's made for TV. I was looking at old AState schedules. 1975, 76, 77, 78, 79 we didn't play any traditional "P5" teams (had a game with Cincinnati in there). Looked at y'all and Memphis and USM and other than USM going Bama nearly every year, there just weren't many go to this place, get a check, go home games, most games against the power programs were depending on the school home/home, 2 for 1, 3 for 1, 4 for 1 deals. Oddly the "buy games" I found poking around (clicked a link by accident) was LSU bought a game against WAC member Utah and bought a home game against Pac-8 member Oregon State. When the money got crazy, selling a game to generate revenue became the norm, it just didn't used to be the norm and even an old fart like me had forgotten. The normal buy games you find in that era were things like Tulsa going to Arkansas every year or when A-State was playing in Memphis all the time, you hop on the bus day of the game, play and go home type deals. We may be heading that direction, not because we choose to live within our capacity to self-generate revenue but because TV is going to squeeze Big Ten and SEC for more conference games and more big non-conference games to get that next bump in money. If you get to the point they won't play, I like our chances outdrawing UFL, besides we pay better.

The University of Houston was started by the Houston ISD as a juco in 1927 became four year school in 1934. The History of University of Houston - Texas Proud That is why many Texas A&M students refer to UH as Couger High.

Well, if you're going that route I'd argue they aren't a stand alone city either given many people do both them and Santa Fe since they're about an hour away from each other. Throw in all the other places that aren't too far away like Taos, the National Forest, etc. and there's plenty to see and do in that part of the country.

Two big names set to visit North Texas this week. 1. AAC Starter 2. NCAA Tourney Starter https://www.patreon.com/posts/north-texas-mbb-102974428?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Viewed with? We're in the same conference with them. We're not viewed with them, we're literally with them. I don't want to be viewed with ACU, Bethunecookman, Campbell, Citadel, etsu, etc. Moving to the flex doesn't do that.

How did their pace of play compare? We were notoriously slow with our offense, which limited possessions.

I generally save the term "clickbait" for titles that are obviously used to rile people up (emotionally, whatever) to bait them into reading, while at the same time having very little to do with the main content.

What's fascinating about it? May was always enamored by Rubin as a defensive player.

Time to consider how much our piss-poor NIL and attendance issues resonate with the players.

you seem to have zero issue with UNT being viewed with the Armys and Navys of the world, by supporting a move to triple option and trimming the football budget. So, why does a separate league rub you differently?

Forget it, if NT moves down from D1. Competitive or not; being in the highest official classification has benefits. NT was in a league like this in the old 1aa days, and it was a nightmare in terms of coverage, support, and financially. I don't see any rationale why an official separation between P and G teams should happen. The P's already get most of the money and coverage. What do they have to gain?

Who beat us by one. True, Pitino, NYC and MSG are attractive, and they have history on their side, but is this currently really that big of a jump? I wish him well, but it is far from what I expected. Then again, St. John's has landed some solid transfers.

Now can we at least get some home games with Michigan and St. John's next season?

St. John's is a top 5 Big East team (a "High Major" conference). They play big home games in MSG. It's a great landing spot for him. He'll get a ton of eyeballs on him there.

Yes. Live content is still king. All the more reason to move to playing in the spring.

Sorry, but this is not the move up I thought he would get.

That sucks. Was looking forward to a mid-week North Texas fix with what is becoming one of my favorite teams from our university.

This new proposed contingency ACC sure walks and quacks like a non power conference. Why would anyone allow them to stay a Power conference without the teams that make them a power conference? I have an idea: when the PAC 12 goes away, let’s change the name of the AAC to the PAC 12: Boom, now we’re in a power conference.
