Would it be worth it to schedule a team at the American Airlines Center? Hell, it's twice the seating capacity. Get the right school in town and they could sell the place out in no time.

If North Carolina or Kentucky want to play in the AAC i'd sign them up. We actually played North Carolina at ReUnion in the 80s-it was a great game-we won by 2-I think it was for a DMN Tournament or something

Pretty sure we could get a sellout or close to it at the AAC against any of the blue bloods - Kansas, UCLA, UNC or Duke. Only problem is we would lose the home court advantage. At the AAC we'd likely have less fans than any of the blue bloods would.

Not sure if this is true anymore. I bet we could get 12-15K Dallas residents in the AAC rooting for the Ponies!!!!!!!

If we can get bodies to Tulsa (and we did) we can get them to the AAC.

Totally agree with Snob. Our home court is Moody.

Nice article. Would have been better with a brief explanation as to from where "Shake" came.

Great to have such nice off-season press. Can we just skip ahead to November now?

I wonder when they will release the tourney schedule? I would love to face Villanova or Arizona first just so we know we will have a matchup against true top 10 caliber team rather than facing NCST or Tennessee because you know they will have a down season if we do.
