Re: Proposal
I like the AAC better. How often does the ACC come up on this board any way?

Just a thought. Thanks.
No one refers to the SEC as the Southeastern or the ACC as the Atlantic Coast.

Until "The American" stops sounding bush league and stops being a [Deleted] name, no.

Re: Proposal
The league is branding itself as "The American" so I think we should start referring to it that way as well.
All of you non-conforming hipsters can call it the AAC if you want, though.

I think a better justification for the change would be confusion with the American Airlines Center. But I typically only hear that referred to as the AAC on the ticket.

I don't think hipsters even know what the american athletic conference, much less football, is

Thanks...I like AAC better.

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: Proposal
hey, I don't like "The American" any better than anyone else does. The AAC isn't any better. I'm just going for clarity here.
Re: Proposal
and to answer your question Ponyboy - a quick search shows that "ACC" has been mentioned 90 times in the past month.
So in other words, pretty frequently.

Re: Proposal
I'm hearing it called the AAC a lot and in many different places - AAC is clearly ahead and more importantly sticking with the gen pop. Plus, it's a good thing because the more you hear AAC, the less you hear Big Least! Roll with it and be thankful SMU is out of C-USA.
