Realignment Update from The other Dan McCarney

[Harry]

Bay Area reporter Jon Wilner floated out a series of juicy Tweets yesterday, saying that the details of the impending Mountain West/Conference USA merger and expansion could be finished within the next month.

UTSA is among the many candidates to join, and the consensus opinion I’ve gotten from a wealth of conversations since late last year is that the Roadrunners are largely a long shot. But things are apparently starting to shift, as I chronicled last week. I just checked in with perhaps my most pessimistic source, and even he/she is starting to warm up to the possibility:

“I think we’re gaining momentum. We have a great chance in the Sun Belt. We’re still (on the outside) with the other one, but I think our chances are improving daily. It’s just going to be a matter of, how big are they going to go.”

Harry,

What are your sources telling you about our chances of getting in as of late? Thanks!

On a North Texas message board, you really need to say "The Other Dan McCarney" when referring to this guy. Otherwise, it makes threads like this kind of a letdown.

Have you ever seen Dan McCarney and Dan McCarney in the same place at the same time?

Why settle for the Alliance? UTSA clearly has the history and the pedigree to be in the SEC.

No, but we can deduce that they are different because we have not seen the Other Dan McCarney include quips about Grey Goose in his columns.

Isn't this Dan McCarney the nephew of Coach Mac? I heard this somewhere...
