they didn't replace it with an AAC one....

damn. I actually enjoyed seeing SMU stuff written by them every now and then. If they don't end up putting in an AAC blog, which I'm assuming they won't, that hurts our, so called, "better exposure" that we were getting from moving on up.

hard to imagine them not replacing it with an AAC blog (probably still in the works?), since they will be broadcasting all the games -- definitely a vested interest.

They've had a really long time to do that if they wanted to. Changing the name of a tab isn't exactly hard. ESPN was the one who originally started to downfall of the Big East anyway, now it's complete. I really hope they do bring it back, because it is good for exposure and I have actually learned a pretty good amount of stuff about our new conference mates just talking to their fans over there.

Apparently all the old BE/AAC fans on ESPN are migrating to the Stanford blog and taking it over. I have to admit, I think that's pretty damn funny.

Yes, we have annexed Stanford into the AAC.

I was disappointed to see that. Hopefully they give us a blog even if they don't update it as frequently.

well today we are taking over the SEC blog. The Stanford blog was too easy. Most of the SEC folks think its pretty hilarious really and are cool with it. hahaha. Hardcore trolling at it's finest. The comment counter on the Stanford blog stops at just says 5K+. Pretty good if you ask me.
