OOC 2018

[Pony ^]

Not a very good field. I am definitely concerned about our schedule this year, surely there are some high quality opponents (home or away) that just haven't been announced yet for some reason?

We have a lot of unknowns on the team this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Jank is scheduling down a little bit to allow the team to come together early.

straight from the playbook of TCU

100 murders since the beginning of the year in Cancun alone do not travel here.


I cannot believe SMU will take a risk with this such a small upside.

I have a daughter and her husband in Cancun right now.

Yeah well sometimes you ignore these things and sometimes they're very real.

After working in Acapulco for 8 years I know how it starts I Know How It Ends.

I wouldn't travel to Cancun on a free trip right now. Drug cartels are fighting the government the tourism industry and all at all cost for Turf. The result is it is not a safe place to travel. That is the OTP travel warning believe it it's real.

Cabo San Lucas in the Baja tip is beginning to have its troubles as well I was just there for a week. Lorenzo says tourism is down 60%. 5 years ago this place was untouched with such cartel problems but they're coming over by ferry from Sinaloa . On a recent walk through the marina with him he said just look around where are all the people.

I still felt fairly safe and would travel back to this region. People won't fly in late at night because they don't want to travel to the hotels late. A couple I met having a cocktail said their were 13 of them on a 777 on the red eye. That should give you a clue

I was not real happy to see her going there, but I believe they have connections there that hopefully keep them out of harms way.

Why go to Cancun when you can cruise to Cozumel-I've never felt the slightest concern in Cozumel

I sure hope not. That can work in a conference like the Big 12, but for the AAC (especially in what looks to be a down year with all of the guys leaving early for the draft) it will more likely leave you having to win the conference tourney to get in.

Haven't been to that one but the other two are pretty nice $40 for a cab ride there and back is steep. Cartel is there in strength too

Rothstein's tweet a little while ago said it best. Something along the lines of if you don't have a good OOC with a few strong matchups, you have already left yourself out of the tournament on selection Sunday. Hoping we don't fall into this category

Exactly. Even if you think you're not going to have a particularly strong year, by NOT scheduling well you seriously damage your tourney hopes even if you do surprise. I don't get that thought process or the upside in playing a weak schedule.

Will reserve judgment of course until our schedule comes out, but concerned at this point with the lack of news on that front (unless I've missed it, only aware of the Cancun tourney and TCU).

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22 wins at a minimum will be necessary with our supposed schedule to even sniff the tournament this season.

Close Lathon and there will be no worries.
