If you are content being in the AAC , after we win our first AAC championship do you still think you would be happy in this conference? 

 

Now there's a very good question...

 

Hmmmm....let's suppose that the current conference configurations are stable for the next decade. That's ten more years of the AAC...that's ten more years of NOT being in a P(5) conference. And given the absence of hard and fast dates - that I've seen in writing, not rumored, not supposition, not a dependency on the relationship between Jupiter and Mars - that could very well be our reality. I sincerely doubt we are going anywhere anytime soon.

 

The question posed is: are you happy with the new neighborhood?

 

What is the alternative to being 'happy' with it? You can accept that this is our lot in life for the time being and making the best of a less than optimal situation is all we can do. The alternative, being dissatisfied, will make for an exceptionally long decade of pining and fantasizing about where we THINK USF should be. Now far be it from me to tell anyone how to spend their time (as we plod towards 200 pages), but realizing there's nothing USF can do to influence the time table for our potential inclusion, I am resolved to, for lack of a better term, 'be happy' with where we are. Maybe happy is the wrong word...how 'bout, 'accommodating'? Accepting? Tolerant?

 

Point being...I'd rather be elsewhere, but I don't see that on the horizon and a little time in the minors might just do us some good, for when the phone does ring.

I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Happy is defined with $ signs. Admin would be happy at the bottom of the Big XII more so than the top of the AAC. You don't see any bottom dwelling Power 5 teams moving to conferences they think they could dominate.

Nailed it ... and the word I would use is "accepting".

How 'bout we call it "serenity"?

 

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And wisdom to know the difference."

C'mon Balto. We never got better? What were our overall records from 2005-2010? Did we win a conference championship? No. Did we have a consistent 7-9 win years with bowl appearances? YES.
