  1. Looks like Mike Hampton to St. Louis and Bruce Hector to Arlington.
  2. Tulane vs. Cincinnati was moved from Saturday to Black Friday to take the TV slot. It is assumed, rightfully so, since that game could be an AAC Championship Game preview, it might draw more eyeballs. Not only does CJS lose lots and lots of football games, but he has also now lost our one nationally televised game.
  3. No offense to any fans of these 6 prospective new members, but adding these 6 teams adds little of substance to the conference. Since college football drives athletics I do not understand why the AAC isn't pursuing the best 4-6 available football programs.
  4. I am tempted to the same. Over the past 10-14 years we have seen our visiting teams go from WV/L'Ville/Syracuse/Pitt/Rutgers to now (potentially) FAU/Charlotte/North Texas/Rice/Tulsa. For anyone who was around in Big East days, the tickets no longer hold the value they once did. Casual fans don't want to see these teams. I may get some tickets for next year, but I will definitely be reducing the number I buy.
  5. Still in denial. There's no way those 6 schools are the best fits for the conference. None. The rest of college football is playing chess while the AAC is playing checkers. The #1 priority for Big 12 expansion is performance on the field yet the AAC is looking at Rice and FAU because...they'll bring the Houston and Miami markets??? Of course not. I have a hard time believing Michael Kelly is playing any role in the expansion, hence I am still in denial.
  6. The number of conference-mates that have moved on increases to nine if you include TCU from C-USA.
  7. I will be there with my brother and nephew. I also picked up a south loop parking pass, will pick up subs and cold beverages and will be there between 1-1:30. We will be on the look out for you all.
  8. I thought the turnout was lackluster compared to years past. The line for a pic with CCS got as short as 2-3 people which I had never seen before. Last year the line for QBs stretched 2/3s of the way across the arena. This year was definitely not the case. The overall buzz was muted compared to the last few seasons. Last year they had 11x14s by position groups and this year they had a very generic card on each of the position group tables for the players to sign. That said the student athletes continue to be extremely polite and respectful. I think we have a program of young men we should all be very proud of. Sam Barrington, B.J. Daniels and Matt Grothe were excellent choices to model the new uniforms and were very engaging with the fans. With tax, jerseys ran a little over $80.
  9. Shenanigans! I got there around 4:00 and most everything was gone. I found a #5 jersey from 2016 among the game worn/issued jerseys. I got a little caught up in the potential excitement and really didn't look it at too closely. Upon further review the the #5 was only ironed on and the jersey never had a name patch. I thought they just did a good job removing the name patch. If I had to guess, I would say the athletic department or equipment staff threw on some #5s on extra jerseys and place them among the game worn/issued hoping suckers (like me) would bite. Well I bit. Be careful out there. Our team/university has now demonstrated it will deceive its supporters. Shame on me for buying the jersey, but shame on them for placing it in between the game worn/issued #4 and #6 jerseys.
  10. The New England Patriots waived fourth-year defensive end Cassius Marsh on Tuesday and signed defensive end Eric Lee off the Buffalo Bills' practice squad. The 6-foot-3, 260-pound Lee, who entered the NFL as a rookie free agent in 2016 with Houston, has been active for one career NFL game (Week 4 vs. Atlanta this year) but did not play. He attended South Florida and spent 2016 on the Texans' practice squad before joining the Bills' practice squad in early September. The Patriots now have Trey Flowers, rookie Deatrich Wise Jr. and Lee as pure defensive ends on the roster.
  11. Sands got the start at RB because of his special teams play against Temple.
  12. I saw where someone posted the McMurphy tweet about San Diego State (and Memphis) being a leader for the G5 NY6 Bowl Spot. I thought that deserved its own thread. Anyway, I see a scenario where San Diego State will be ranked this week, not too far behind us. It is reasonable that SDSU will run the table. They play Boise State at home in 4 weeks and play at Air Force this weekend. The rest of the schedule should be fairly easy SDSU wins. SDSU has two P5 conference wins (Stanford and at Arizona State). The Mountain West is arguably more top heavy than the AAC. SDSU's division is garbage (even worse than the AAC East) and the play only Boise among decent teams in the other division. So, has USF lost the ability to control it's own destiny? If SDSU and USF both run the table which G5 Conference Champion will be ranked higher? Style points will mean everything from here going forward and USF has no margin for error.
  13. Not sure what happened today. I was in line at Gate C at just past 11:00. Was one of the first ones allowed into the concourse to get my wristband. Was one of the first allowed into the sale. They seemed to have everything in order.
  14. Sam signed with the Buffalo Bills today. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-sign-Bacarri-Rambo-LB-Barrington-OL-Barton/fb10a3c1-03e5-486d-8510-06a53d61c932
