  1. Are we talking about the death of the Big East again?
  2. https://twitter.com/davidubben?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author
  3. This is now officially a rumour thread. The merge is back on!
  4. Shouldn't the athletic department's "iconic U" be there somewhere?
  5. I've seen this written a bunch of times, but I don't understand it. How does UH getting into the B12 get UT a campus in Houston?
  6. From a recruiting perspective it would be a lot worse for UCF to get in without us. If either of us gets into the B12 without the other it will be a HUGE differentiation point between the schools.
  7. It seems pretty clear that unless everyone is just making stuff up, there will be no expansion.
  8. THIS! Without more money the AAC can call itself an NFL division and it wouldn't matter.
  9. There is no creature on the planet more egotistical than a head football coach. They ALWAYS think they can do a better job than the last guy, regardless of the situation. Of offered, he'll take the job and run... so would Taggart.
  10. Yes. If it's ever going to happen this would be the year (assuming Houston can run the table). It would still be a huge longshot though. Looking at the last poll, I don't see any of the current top 10-12 P5 teams getting passed over if they had 1 loss and UH had 0.
  11. Not sure what fantasy world you live in (or if you're just making a joke), but a one loss "historically good" P5 team will ALWAYS be chosen over an undefeated G5 team. The only except to that MIGHT be if the G5 team was working off a previous perfect or almost perfect season. I don't have to like it, but that's the world we live in.
  12. It would take a miracle of biblical proportions for us (or anyone) to make the playoffs EVER while still in the AAC.
  13. I really hope our getting into the B12 doesn't require us to beat FSU this weekend. There isn't a single team currently in the B12 that would be a sure-thing to beat FSU. IF we win this weekend (and obviously I hope we do), it would be an upset (a HUGE upset in the national eye) and it isn't something that should be required to get us in. In the same way that if we lose this weekend it shouldn't disqualify us. It's a single game.
  14. Short-term I completely agree, but long-term they are the same thing. If the B12 looses it's P5-ness in the minds of the power-that-be (ESPN/FOX), then their next TV contract will show that.
