WOW. That's a least a little bit of good pub. I'm all for the jump. But I'm realistic in the fact it would be amazing if not a miracle for us to join the Big 12. This has to help the cause a little bit, right?

CBS Sports reporting on us. The comments are humorous and somewhat encouraging:

Some guy from Colorado is ranting about how smu pails in comparison to cu. And isn't fit to be their replacement. I guess he didn't realize CBS ranked us 20 higher than their miserable program.

This is why it's important to be out there talking about this.
When Houston's admin and state reps are the only ones talking, the media will pick up on it and not mention us.
When your school president and AD are out there touting you, then you give media outlets a reason to talk about you, instead of hoping some columnist throws you a bone at the end of a realignment story.
