It's a vibrant, international city. My cousins live there and praise it constantly. I've been twice and loved it, but won't get caught dead there during the winter time. I went during the summer and it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That list of bowl tie-ins is terrible. What a dropoff from the Big East. We need leverage to improve this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Belk Bowl or Music City bowl wants nothing to do with a game that could land them many of the AAC teams when they have the SEC, ACC, or Big 10 signed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was Memphis, this year is already Houston and Temple. When your most talented coaches are being poached right before the bowl games it really decreases our chances of winning the games.

I agree ..... but winning meaningless bowl games aren't as much of a measurement as winning ooc games .... if they keep scheduling us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big 12 has already implemented a new scheduling protocol that will decrease FCS and G5 games....this could be the beginning of the end. Illinois (2017, 2018) Georgia Tech (2018, 2019) Wisconsin (2019) and Texas (2020, 2022, 2024) are our only scheduled P5 games between now and 2025. We might end up being stuck with only one P5 game annually. If that is the case, look for us to change from scheduling any FCS teams instead going with 3 G5 OOC games per season (already the case in 2020).

I hope G5 have the balls to retaliate by not scheduling P5 schools in basketball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
