Neinas doesn't see any sentiment for a return to a 12-team conference and a football championship game; have a true round-robin sked.

Its cute that you guys think this conference wont completely fall apart in the next year.

UCONN, Rutgers = gone

I would be shocked if Boise, BYU or Air Force would move over. The SuperAllaince will get the BCS AQ spot if those schools stay.

You lose all your regional rivarlies other than Cougar High. Its just the dumbest freaking thing Ive ever seen.

Bitter much?

Of course Im bitter.

Why wouldnt I be?

I think SMU and Cougar are making short sighted money driven decisions that will haunt them later. Its stupid. Are you guys really pumped about playing Rutgers and UCONN? This is just stupid. So youre gonna get BCS status with SMU, Houston, UCF, Rutgers (ACC bound), Louisville (probably out first chance they get), UCONN (ACC Bound), Navy, and Temple. When the dust settles Thats three CUSA teams, Louisville, maybe a service academy and a MAC team. Sounds awesome. Dont forget Memphis and there dominate football program.

Boise State in the Big East...Ok. Why not add Hawaii. Its just stupid. You guys know it. The whole country knows it.

Tulsa will be fine. Im not worried about it. I really like playing SMU and Houston every year. Its been a good rivarly and Ill miss it. So bitter...hell yeah Im bitter. The whole thing sucks balls.

Indeed, it is stupid. If you can get the BCS to voluntarily disband, come on back here and let us know and we will gladly stay here in good old C-USA with Tulsa. But, until then, we kinda have to go. You know you'd be saying the same thing. The BCS is unfortunate, though.

I would argue otherwise.

If the Big East loses UCONN, Rutgers and fails to land Boise you wont be in a much better conference and the AQ thing is a crapshoot.

If Boise stays the Superfriends across America conference will win. I dont know if that happens or not.

You guys got in bc your Big Brother in Ft. Worth hopped again and they wanted the TV market. (Not that anyone watches SMU in Dallas) I get that. Tulsa is a small market. Tulsa is a small school in a small city. You cant really argue that you have put a better product on the field than Tulsa in recent years. Weve gone 4-1 in bowl games in the last 6 years including a liberty bowl. Weve won 10+ games three times in the last 6 years.

You got called up and we didnt. I can live with that. I like where the Superfriends Conference is going. I like playing in the South and Id rather play in the West than in f......ing central NJ or East Hartford.

Don't worry. Friends have your back

Ill take trips to Reno (Tahoe) and Vegas anyday.

Id rather Tulsa and UTEP move to the MWC. I like playing Fresneck. Ill never forget the WAC tourney in 2000 where I literally escaped death after a barrage of batteries were hurled at me. That town sucks but Selland is hands down my favorite place to see a basketball game.

It is what it is. Tulsa will be fine. I guess it will make it easier for me to be more of a Pony fan if both schools arent in the same league.
