Re: FSU: "We Never Said We Wanted to Leave"



FSU people began to think that they then had arrived fully and should be bowed to in all things. But FSU will always be silly, sad little brother to UF. No conference membership or TV money can change that. In fact, as TAMU will relearn, the worst thing for a long belittled brother school that ...

Re: I don't know which was worse

the aggies are the biggest joke in all of college sports. They have championship delusions but, with rare exception, chronically underperform
I hate to be argumentative, but UT usually steals the under-performer crown from the Aggies most years ΓÇôΓÇô from Vince Young until last year -- a big 'ol ...

Re: Bring back baseball?

I realize this is pie-in-the-sky fantasy talk, which is OK to dream about, but in reality would be an extraordinarily foolish move

Adding a new sport, especially Baseball, would require millions of dollars of commitment from SMU annually. WouldnΓÇÖt the cost alone of building baseball & softball ...

Re: ACC membership vs Big XII membership

I realize this is a "no-brainer" in terms of what schools SMU would prefer to be aligned with from an academic standpoint but watching the Houston @ TCU basketball game tonight I sure wish we had been invited to the Big XII long ago. Much to be said for playing against your former SWC mates and ...

Re: Thoughts on the BC game

Jason, that was an excellent write-up

I too am concerned about our WRs and think relying on Hudson is not the ideal strategy

What are our chances via the portal…seems a bit late now, but i realize there’s always churn, it seems to me we need an upgrade

Oh, and i too thought those long ...

Aztec, i was on record months ago saying i never really bought into SDSU having a serious B12 option

Re: Realignment Update

time zone population % battle - here is my garbage data to match yours. Rest assured that while most people live on the East & Central time zones, the Pacific has a lot of people. The issue is that media companies want the late night games, thus there is a demand for the time slot that only the PAC ...

My prediction - at some point a lawsuit will be justifiably be filed against NU, it will lead to multiple lawsuits, at which point the real truth will hopefully emerge

Can't really blame Coog and Froggie as they have their teams in P5. I'm not sure I wouldn't be passive-aggressive like them if we were there. Poor us and Rice, still waiting. However, I don't wish to hear from them on this board and if we are invited to the party, I resolve not to go on Rice's ...

Re: Realignment Update

Even for the 4 Corners schools, athletic dollars are far less important than research dollars. The Big 12, without their flagships, cannot compete with Washington, Oregon, Cal and Stanford. For SMU finishing 5th to 7th in football is unacceptable.

I apologize but I don't get what you mean ...
