    At the very least, Austin, Milley, and Blinken should be forced to resign. This may not all be their fault, but they are the chosen front people to represent the new Rainbows, Lollipops, and Unicorns diplomacy implemented by the puppeteers that pull the strings for this administration.

    Thank you for posting this. It is inspirational to see how a young man strives to not only overcome such a tragic incident, but to excel in so many ways.

    Those are some tough teams to beat in recruiting. https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Shawn-Jones-140183/RecruitInterests/

    Matthew is an incredibly talented sports writer. I am sorry to hear that he is leaving, but I wish him only the best with his future endeavors with LSU. He's certainly put his heart and soul into his North Texas coverage. There's no doubt he'll always be green and white in his heart, and I look forward to his future contributions when he returns.

    I don't know if it'll ever get him a pro football gig, but Raveon is one tough workout monster. Turn your volume to LOUD before starting video. I left the video running for hours just to give him the Sisyphus treatment.

    https://247sports.com/Player/Ron-Tatum-46036746/high-school-186708/ Originally a 4 star Army All-American from Oklahoma City. Who knows? He could be looking to play closer to home, and there could also be another school, probably a lower rung P5, tampering with his commitment to UTSA. UTSA will surely let him out of his NLI. Let's see where he goes, and why he goes there.

    Heartland College Sports is contending that Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Kansas State may be "locked arms" as a package deal. They either go to the Pac 12 together, or together they rebuild the Big 12 Conference as best possible. Something that I thought odd was that those three, and the existing Pac 12 schools, are supposedly more interested in adding Houston than Baylor or TCU as the 16th Pac team. I don't put much faith in any of these editorials having real inside information but I did see this as an interesting scenario. Would Arizona, ASU, Colorado, and Utah want to be paired with these schools in an eastern division and lose many of their USC/UCLA ties? Of course this all falls apart if the BIG preemptively grabs USC and UCLA...but that's another story.

    I guess I am one of the few that actually enjoys CUSA-West. I'd like to add a couple, possibly Arkansas State, Louisiana, and Texas State whenever Larry Teis dies, but I enjoy playing our current rivals.

    No, you're standing under an oak tree and acorns frequently drop.

    Must be true, I saw it on the internet.

    It's not true. Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina have a voting block pact to keep any of their in-state rivals from joining the SEC. There may be a lot, a whole lot of ESPN money being offered, but it's never going to be enough to break that pact. Their alumni will never let them sacrifice their "clear supremacy" for an increased paycheck. A&M had no such alliance so they were powerless to keep out Texas. The only consolation for the Aggies is that the SEC will be four divisions of four teams, with Texas paired with Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. A&M will likely be pared with LSU, one of the two Mississippi schools, and one of the two Alabama schools in it's SEC quad.

    I'm just goofing with everyone. I have been just about everywhere and seen just about everything in New Mexico, except the ice cave, so I still have at least one reason to go back.

    First, OSU (neither Ohio St, Oklahoma St, or Oregon St) is going to be moving to CUSA. For what results from this recent upheaval we'll have to wait and see, as a lot depends on how quickly the Big 12 leftovers find new homes, if they can. They're all trying to immediately find P4 homes. If the leftovers can't relocate on the same schedule as UT & OU, then they'll be forced to backfill the Big 12 with G5 schools like the Big East did. Grab your popcorn as it'll be fun to watch. We're not a candidate for the Big 12, and we won't have a dog in this fight until the end when potentially more regionally based alignments are being formed amongst the non-P4 crowd. It's all good. We're well prepared, and we have the right people steering the ship.

    Could happen... Although there is relatively no chance of the Big 12 taking both, it's almost certain that they will add either SMU or Houston. But, then again, the consensus of all the knowledgeable pundits on the AAC message board is that the remaining Big 12 teams are going to quickly come running to the safety of the American Athletic Conference. That too could happen... but probably won't.

    That's great. It starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, and aeroplanes, and Lenny Bruce is not afraid. All kidding aside, we'll need to take care of our own business, munch some popcorn, evaluate the situations, and explore potential possibilities. The remaining Big 12 is about to have their media contract decimated, and that's regardless of whichever schools they backfill with. The AAC is going to have it's large, at least by G5 standards, ESPN contract terminated. The conference has relatively little value now that already UConn, and potentially Cincy, UCF, Memphis, and Houston are departing. I am so happy we have Wren and I trust him to make the best decisions.

    Sanford was with Lamont, Grady, and Esther, and has now gone to be with Elizabeth after the 'big one'. Samford is in Birmingham.

    Well sportsfans, the rumor is starting to look a little more legit.
  21. ADLER
    I think it's a sad statement about the bleakness of New Mexico that not even one person realized that was a photograph taken by the Mars Rover.
  22. ADLER
    I think so. Top recruits will now, for their own financial reasons, want to play only at schools that will elevate their personal exposure.
  23. ADLER
    I see Tom's two Big Twelve divisions as a possibility, but probably adding Colorado State and South Florida if they go to 14. I don't see a 5th Texas school being a viable option, and BYU seems to love the Notre Dame-like status and freedom independence gives them. I could also see the Big Ten adding Kansas and Virginia to get to 16 if UVA can get out of their binding ACC contract.

    Yes, North Texas needs to improve football, but... North Texas is has won one of it's five bowl games since joining CUSA, UTSA has lost it's only two. And although the series is tied at four wins each, North Texas has won three of the last four. North Texas is competitive for CUSA championships in every other sport, while amazingly, I don't think UTSA has won a single championship, or even a western division championship in any sport in eight years since joining the conference. North Texas has amazing facilities for a G5 school, UTSA has nothing; just an old basketball gym and a covered playground for football. UTSA plays it's football rent free in an aging city owned Alamodome dozens of miles from campus and there's no telling how much longer San Antonio will even pay for maintaining that decrepit money pit. Basically, UTSA is not superior to North Texas in any sport, and is not even comparable in anything other than football.
  25. ADLER
    Blue Horse is correct. The Big 12 would be down to 8 teams, and I could see them adding Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati, Central Florida, and Colorado State to save the conference. Others like Boise State and South Florida will also receive consideration. West Virginia's pleas for more regional opponents will certainly play into the selection process. The AAC will lose the lucrative ESPN contract with the loss of all it's ratings generating schools, and will consist of leftover tiny privates and East Carolina. As for us, no win and no loss. Any possible move would be lateral.
