We're as good as in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seemed so crazy back then, that providing our alleged rival-to-be a generous hand up would benefit them so much it might very well save our program. That was some visonary thinking. We should get a new logo to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually your parallel universe and reality is not too bad. As long as I don’t stay there too long I’ll be ok but one must be careful...it’s kind of like radiation...

Texas is playing Florida in 2030 & 2031, wouldn't have effected our games. They are scared that if they lose to the coach they fired at a traditional worse football school then their fans will riot .

We can't build a wall fast enough around Austin. It's California East and they're slowly ruining the great state of Texas. Well, it might be neat to see snowflakes in Tampa that early in the season! Actually this Texas thing is aggravating. I am of the school of thought that big name wins will advance a school's reputation better than an American Conference title. We lose two shots to try. Well, at least we have one still on the books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like a program that is a number one pick for P5 conference looking to expand. I used to think it was just about winning, but that is over simplistic. It is about winning the right games, not the P5 games, but the CC games that lead to the access bowl games, that is what gets attention. No one really cares that G5 programs occasionally beat P5 programs, it happens every year They have had a combination of good coaching hires that have utilized their talent to maximum efficiency. They sell out their stadium (yes the OCS is a big deal, always has been, always will be), fan support is off the charts, the city supports them, College Gameday going there was a gut punch. CCS was right, they are the blueprint. We can learn from them and hopefully do it better. Except no G5 has taken that path to a P5 yet so it's not like a precedent has been set .... closest G5 to that description before now would be the still G5 Boise State.
