Many of our former coaches have made it to the P5. The word is that they are sending a truck to get us. :roflmao:

The kicker is when we see Skip Holtz drive that truck back to us and say get on board.

You my friend understand how it works :) 

FOX(name may change), is aligning the stars to make a big move sports wise. They cut all dead weight to ESPN who is already struggling to keep its bills and staff on good standing. Genius move.

Meanwhile the rich keep getting richer

This was already going to happen. Hell they basically have already had Sirius coverage broadcasting specific games on Sirius. Now they'll get paid more for it.  John Malone is not the biggest ESPN fan by the way, so its just the start trust me.

Did you happen to watch any of the first bowl games? It was disgusting...all of the announcers kept talking about P5 and their superiority and the G5 being little boy league. ESPN  definitely has an agenda this bowl season.

Yep they want to separate, but they don't even have the funds to do it. It Disney pulls the plug, well not really pull the plug but scale it back, it could be very interesting. They know the AAC isn't a G5 conference at all, but they must keep it there to help themselves. Its a shame, but it sounds crazy, but it could be in our best interest. The league keeps producing and someone will pick it up.

A lot of these companies are getting their feet wet compared to ESPN when it comes to sports. ESPN knows it has advantage of time and experience in the business. It won't for long and the heads of company know it, but it might be to late for them to do anything about it. They've locked themselves up to much at the moment. The others are catching up faster then anticipated.
