Depends on whose reality you are referring to.

It blows! That's why I drink and do drugs. To alter my reality.

And it was big of you to steer clear of the engineering fight earlier this week. I would have expected you to bring in Cecil Smith for another guest appearance.

Guess I missed that fight...link? I might join in yet.

If this becomes our reality, it is probably the best for us at this time. Let's look at the pros and cons of the current reality (that was for jt).

C-USA:
pro - It's not all that bad a conference and definitely better than the WAC and we are on a path to be in contention for the top spot on a regular basis.
con - Non-AQ and not much up side.

Excellent summary (in the wrong thread), PK. Clearly the pros outweigh the cons for C-USA. I mean, we've lived with the cons since we joined, but now we are in a position to be the big fish in this pond.

I want to be big fish in the big pond.

[jtstang]

Since that can't be at this stage of the game, what's your second choice?

[PonyKai]

Don't count your chickens until they're fried and being served in a KFC box. Embrace CUSA for now, have a bunch of beer tomorrow, and watch SMU beat another CUSA team.

Non-AQ says it all. Our rich alum benefactors are going to tire at some point of carrying the load. AQ conferences provide more cash to their members.

Amen, brother. The 'vard will follow wherever we go, even if we stay in good ole C-USA as a perennial powerhouse.

[PonyKai]

Come on, who DOESN'T want to be a dwarf among midgets??? Think of the possibilities! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILkkpMEzlZY

[jtstang]

We could even consider changing the name of C-USA to the SMUG conference. (SMU Greatness conference).

[PonyKai]

We could pick a new school to blackball every week.

[jtstang]

I nominate NTSU first and always.
