This thread acknowledges reality, PK. What have you got against reality?

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.

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.

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

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.

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