Post from the TSU-SM Board Regarding

[UNTLifer]

I think it is fine they are happy to be members of the WAC regardless of the fact that it will be filled with the likes of Seattle, Denver, UTA and potentially more schools that don't play football beginning in 2012, and UTSA that has never fielded a team replacing the likes of Fresno State, Hawaii, etc..., but what cracks me up is some of the points they make in justifying staying in the WAC. I had to laugh out loud at the one poster that mentioned they should concentrate on winning the WAC until the Big XII comes calling.

I didn't mean to put this in the recruiting forum. Admins, please move to where you feel it should be placed.

Can't fault them for being excited about moving up, but they are unbelievably delusional. SBC members have been pumping millions of dollars into new facilities, improvements, coaching, recruiting, etc and the SBC just now looks like it's on the cusp of moving up the food chain.

What really cracked me up was the one Southwest Texas State University at San Marcos idiot making fun of directional names that are no longer in use.

What makes them think the Big XII will look for a team from the WAC? So much for that high level of education in the WAC LaTech claimed.

The further down the NCAA totem pole the more delusional some get?

They are a bit delusional but that's one way to be a fan. My 2 year old recently asked me to reach the moon and get it for him. When he gets a better understanding of proportions and distances, that will seem silly up him. At UNT, we have the benefit of perspective. Having spent significant time playing FBS football, we understand that it is an uphill battle, doable, but it takes lots of time and effort.

If I had a dollar for everytime a UNT fan said something about joining the Big 12 I would be a very very rich man.

Nah, you know you'd blow it all on beer and strippers.

You're probably right. But hey, you only live once.

[Rudy]

As long as its good beer and hot strippers, I've got no problem with it.

[foutsrouts]

They've been delusional ever since their name change. Nothing new.

Seriously. Think anyone would be taking them seriously if they were still SWTSU-SM? Hell, they probably wouldn't have even landed Fran or a WAC invite.

I think I lose five IQ points every time I go to a WAC team forum and read their justification for staying.
