We were both together in the Lone Star Conference and the Gulf Coast Conference.

"The Cyclones rolled to the 69-41 victory, giving them their sixth Big 12 trophy in their sixth title game appearance. The margin was the largest over a No. 1 team since UCLA beat the Cougars by 32 in the 1968 Final Four." LOL

Agree. The failures to close out games are concerning. I also feel we were a couple players short of what other teams seemed to have available. We can't play at this level with only 7 players. We can hang with teams but don't make the adjustments needed at end of games that other teams are making. More pep talk or strategy or whatever. Hopefully Ross learns from this season...and recruits to cover our deficiencies.

Much like the new CFP format. 13 P5 programs to every one G5.

It makes no sense for a point producer, or top rebounder etc to come off the bench. Why limit their minutes or allow the opponent to get early leads because our best players are sitting? You will never convince me Tylor Perry was better off the bench only available 35 minutes instead of 40. He's not starting on the bench at KSU.

Allen should have been starting all year.

Wah😩

The American is losing it's biggest ambassador in Commissioner Mike Aresco. His replacement will be critical in keeping the momentum alive and moving forward or not. Also, when the ACC prisoners start leaving that could be a turning point for the AAC in future defections or a merger. Your proposal with the MWC/PAC has merit. The problem will be the PAC-2 won't want all those schools to split their pie with.

They started the season great then became bipolar.

Former Rice coach Scott Pera might look good in roadkill orange, lol. Or maybe this guy is available for them...

The current state of college football/basketball being just a money-grab is having a negative impact on fans. Why should I be a loyal fan of Mr. QB if he only cares about a paycheck and not my school?

I don't think we are struggling in the AAC at all. Football could have won vs Memphis and Tulane. Very close games for a first year HC facing a new, tougher conference than CUSA. Men's basketball was 10-8 and in the upper part of the conference with again several close losses to the top seeds. Women's basketball finished 2nd after being picked second to last. Softball started conference with a 3-game sweep of 22-2 ECU. As for going West to the MWC/PAC I wouldn't be against it, especially if the AAC loses Memphis, USF and Tulane. Brands matter.

Exactly. Has anyone ever seen any current college athlete marketing anything?? In print, video, anything? I can't recall a single one. Yet thousands are getting NIL. For doing what....playing for a specific school. That's it.

Good decision. He was a whiner.

There has always been a disparity between college sports programs as far back as college sports itself. Only the labeling has changed over time. Big school/small school....1-A/1-AA....FBS/FCS....P5/G5, whatever. I don't think that Texas and A$M could actually completely leave and split away. They would still need to play the smaller programs to fill their tournaments and pre-season OOC games on their various schedules.

Note: the game times on this bracket are ET.

NT led the majority of the game. NT was up 14-7 at half, and 21-14 end of 3rd quarter. Texas scored a TD with 3:30 remaining in the game, went for 2 and missed it, NT up 21-20. NT added a FG with 1:30 remaining to make it 24-20. uT had to have a TD to win. This last TD? happened with only 45 seconds left in the game. Lots of Booing from the 10K NT fans. uT fans were mostly very cordial and consoling after the game...complimenting us on our game and knew they should have lost and were given a bogus win. NT only had 55 plays on Offense (23 yds rushing, 419 passing). Texas had 92 plays (71 rushes for 312 yds, 169 passing). https://stats.texassports.com/custompages/sports/m-footbl/archive/stats/88/ut-nts.htm#GAME.DRV

Pitiful call. I was there.

But $mut has more NIL than any school in the country so they will win every game they schedule, just ask their 3 fans...

Looks like a Junior College (or UTSA's) gym. I know Rice has a small enrollment. They have the $$ and need to improve their Athletic facilities. But I will give them props for having baseball!!
