Settle down Plumm. Conference realignment still has a few years left. The Big East hasn't made its move. The SEC needs at least one more. The Big 12 is still short two schools. The ACC might want to go to 16. And the NCAA still hasn't said if it will allow 16+ team associations to have multiple playoff games. And the MWC-CUSA group may lose 3 schools and be at 19. They would need 1 more school to have two divisions of 10.

Yes, how dare they try to leave for a higher paying conference. The Big East, the lowest paying AQ conference, makes about half the payout of the SEC, the highest paying AQ conference. The Mountain West, the highest paying non-AQ, makes about half of what the Big East makes.

Vito tiptoes around it, but WW is leaving for a simple reason; why stick around and watch all your hard work get undone when there is a free for all from SBC schools to move into the few CUSA spots that open up. WW built the Sun Belt into a real conference by bringing in football. He help bring in direct and secondary bowl tie-ins, and worked to create higher payouts and more home-at-home setups for OOC games. WW earned his keep, so there is no reason to bash the guy as he goes out the door.

Dear Coach Mac, Please don't take coaching advice from a message board.

If North Then Texas

Tell us more about this jugs handling?

1.It's a little early in conference play to start picking bowls. 2. Didn't CFN have Florida State winning the ACC last week? 3. I wouldn't rely too much on website that I'm a moderator for. But back to the original question, can anyone confirm what secondary bowl tie-ins the SBC has?

This is why wee need LA Tech in the SBC.

Welcome to the new uniform thread

I rolled in at 6:15 p.m. and there were probably twice as many people on the hill that there were thereat 6 p.m. for the Indiana game.

What are the SBC's bowl tie-ins? I know we have direct tie-ins with the RL Carriers New Orleans Bowl (SBC vs. CUSA)and Go Daddy Mobile Bowl (SBC vs. MAC). And then we have a secondary tie-in with the Little Caesars Detroit Bowl (MAC vs Big Ten/SBC). But I thought the Sun Belt had another secondary bowl tie-in.

Who is in charge of enforcing the no tailgating ban during the game? 13,142 for a game we were predicted to win is pretty bad. Its made worse by the increasing number of students who are staying on the hill to tailgate during the game.

If two spots open up in CUSA East... There is always a chance CUSA adds one team to the East (FAU/FIU/Troy/App St), then slides Tulane over and adds one team in the West (UNT/LA Tech/UTSA) But if I'm the Big 12 I make a play for Louisville & Cincy to fill by spots in the North.

[insert Bourbon Street joke here.]

He also said the new tradition is to get Dilly Bars from Dairy Queen the day after a win. Apparently Coach Mac doesn't know about Beth Marrie's.

21k+ and a win and folks are still complaining on this board?

I thought the crowd noise was great, especially in the 3rd quarter. And the lack of of IU timeouts was critical in the 4th quarter. The lower bowl really started to empty out at the start of the 4th.

1. That was the smallest team we've seen this season 2. We controlled 3 quarters of the game + 2 key minutes in the 4th 3. I like actual winning more than moral victories

I didn't know Indy was a such a good team you had to play mistake free football.

Isn't there an NCAA rules against that. Lots of schools stick the band behind the other team's bench, but I thought there was something about how much they can play when the game clock is going. And if that's not the case, just put speakers behind the other team and make their ears bleed?

My theory: TCU to the Big 12 South, Louisville & Cincy to the Big 12 North. WVA to the SEC. UConn & Rutgers to ACC. USF to CUSA. Everybody wins, except the Bulls. Big East gets its basketball conference back.

Paying to park at Fouts is lame. Telling creepy stories about cheerleaders, priceless.

Our goal should be 25k from here on out. Our Fouts numbers showed used we have a core fan base of 14k-19k. Add a 25% new stadium & coach boost, plus bigger name opponents.

Finally, the SBC can get to 12.

My domino theory. The ACC is adding Pitt & Syracuse, and might grab Rutgers & UConn. The SEC can take WVA to get to 14. The Big 12 takes Louisville & Cincy in the North, and TCU in the South to get back to 12. That leaves USF out in the cold. USF then becomes the filler if the SEC goes after another ACC team.
