Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallModerators: PonyPride, SmooPower Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallStallion, First, if BYU left the MWC, TCU is back in pretty much the WAC they left to join, hmm CUSA. Yeah, they have Boise, AFA, but come on, UNM, UNLV, SDS, Wyoming, Fresno, Nevada, CSU? Not what they joined when it had Utah and BYU. And SMU was not the SMU they left to get away from. We have rebuilt our program and in CUSA had they not lost to SMU of the WAC, they would have been in a BCS game. So weigh the two conferences. CUSA, cheaper travel, established rivals, and better bowls, vs. MWC, with the WAC II. As I said, I would rather try and add TCU and AFA (and perhaps UNM), if possible, the rest of the MWC is not worth adding.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallTCU will consider adding SMU if it is Singapore Management University. The SMU of the Far East

Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to Fall
would that make them the Notre Dame of the far east if BYU is the ND of the west?? if so, they ahould go independent!!
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to Fall
They just migrated to a new platform and server and I think they are having technical problems. Either that or BYU has unleashed a cyber-attack.
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to Fall
Now we need a school to go the independent route in Europe and Australia.

Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to Fall
Wow, lose out to La Tech
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallSeriously? Louisiana Tech? I can think of about 8 teams I would put ahead of them.

Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallDoes this guy have a drinking problem?
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallFrom a UH posters who apparently is reputed to have inside sources-again more along the lines of creating a new conference which is what I prefer although I'd probably stop before 12:
My other sources highly placed with other schools affected by this as well as ESPN says that U of H is the next target. They are looking to build a 12 team conference. Lots of bucks for ESPN with a playoff. I have heard no mention from any source that Hawaii is being considered. There are some other familiar names on the list in addition to us but as I said we are at the top of the list. I feel good about this although I have in the past been concerned about travel expense. But if this aligns the way I am hearing we will have enough schools close by to make this feasible. Plus the powers that be feel there is no way this conference would not be a BCS conference. As usual the luncheon was top flight in food and service and our staff should be complimented for their work. "With a quarter of a tank of gas, we can get everything we need right here in DFW." -SMU Head Coach Chad Morris
When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallAs long as we have a chance of ending somewhere other than the WAC or Sunbelt
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallWell there are only so many schools close to UH, and I'd bet quite a bit that Rice, UTSA, Texas State, Tulane, and Tartleton State won't be included...and of course UT, A&M, Texas Tech, OU, OSU all have happy homes. So, by process of elimination that would leave UTEP, TCU, SMU.
ESPN is an evil monstrosity, but hopefully, this time, they can be our evil monstrosity and help us out.
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to Fallwhat the heck could it be that is "likely" to be an AQ conference? Doesn't seem plausible. Best they could do in my view is assemble a league that stays under consideration for AQ in the future. that means keeping BYU .
Re: Patterson Suggests More Dominos to FallWhen the UH poster states that "they are looking to build a 12 team conference", is he referring to the MWC adding a 12th member? Or is he implying that ESPN and whoever else are looking to create an entirely new conference with 12 teams?
