I'm very curious if Boise will accept. I have to imagine their non-football sports would hate to leave the MWC. I would think that they have enough leverage to request an all-sports invite, though travel would be prohibitive for the olympic sports.

I'm just not sure that there is going to be much of a Big East to go to. It looks like Missouri is most likely going to the SEC. Word is BYU can't come to terms with the Big 12 which means *at least* Louisville will probably leave the Big East for the Big 12 and maybe even W. Virginia and Cincinnati.

So..should the Belt try to get Air Force as a non-football member? It looks like the WAC would be the best for their non-football sports, but there may not be a WAC to go to.

To be honest, their options aren't that great. Tulane is located in fertile recruiting grounds and would definately be attractive from an academic standpoint. I don't know if they have a shot, but it's an interesting angle...

Wow..this board has gotten a little mean-spirited. I know the guy photo-bombed your creeper photo , but still..

Nah.. Field Goal and PAT Safety.

Shoot.. We could have zombie Knute Rockne coaching and it wouldn't matter when our o- line is being pushed backwards.

I tend to agree with this. I think by the time we get back to Sunbelt play we'll be much much better. We're playing a lot of new guys and they need time to adjust. I actually feel much better about this team than after Dodge's first game. We really just need to hope our o- line can gel.

The Southpark Meadows bars usually aren't too bad on Thursdays. Little Woodrows or 3rd Base might want to draw in a bit more business. I bet Espn3 looks lousy on a big tv though....

No you're mixed up. Texas slept with Nathan Tune's dog.

Based on his roster photo, I'd say Windsor Knots.

If only A&M leaves, the Big 12 might just sit pat at 9 for now. Whatever market share Houston delivers probably wouldn't make up for the extra slice of the pie they would take. BYU would probably make a lot more sense, but I'm not sure how their TV contract would impact things. If Missouri also leaves then I'm pretty sure the conference will fall apart with only 5 or 6 members left at the end of the day. Those left will either dissolve the conference and go elsewhere or add a mixture of MWC and C-USA teams to become a second coming of the 16 team WAC of the 90s (albiet slightly improved).

So...if this comes true.. this should be fun to watch.. The ACC will need to raid the Big East. This will probably force to Big 10 to consider raiding the Big East first. In any case, the Big East is dead man walking as a BCS conference. The fact that the Big 10 will be looking East will probably force Big 12 schools (Oklahoma and maybe even Texas) to make a bid to get in while spots are still available. This is turn will force the PAC-12 to try to grab the Big 12 schools first. So at the end of the day we will likely have superconferences of ACC, BIG 16, PAC-16, and SEC. The Big East and Big 12 will be smoldering ruins. Or... I could be completely wrong..

The sad thing is that in 20 years $1 Million will only buy you a Big Mac.

I'm hoping for Brinker International. I would love to see Fat Bastard singing Chili's Baby Back Ribs on the Jumbotron.

Grandpa approves:

Does Hyper-Color make this jersey? I swear I've never seen a uniform that looks so different depending on the lighting.

Go..go..North Texassssss

Yeah, I get it. It's just I don't recall ever hearing Buda Hays before like I have with say Austin Bowie or Killeen Ellison. It just sounds weird to my ears (as does Kyle Lehman). Anyway, great to get a kid like this.

Vito....Not to be pedantic, but as someone who lives in Kyle, I can assure you there is no such High School as "Buda Hays".

Sure. However, none of the other possible choices would be any better in this regard.

You know... I'm not so sure SMU is going to oppose us. They are on an upswing in football and I don't know that they would consider us much of a threat to their interests even if we were in the same conference. It would give them a local game and more regional press. Also..consider this...I don't think SMU,Houston, Rice, UTEP, and Tulane would be too happy with a chance of a conference comprising in part UNT, TSU, UTSA, Lousiana Tech, ULL, and NMSU competing with them for TV $ and recruits. Taking us would help guard their flank.
