Aggies are one-dimensional. Once you are down 21 with an option-run attack and a suspect defense, you're pretty much done.

whooooooooo caaaaaaaaaaaaaaares

Take the Marlins to San Antonio! Yeah, yeah, I know they have the Missions, but SA is the kind of city that could get behind a team if they start winning right away... and the Marlins have proved they can do that. It's a growing city, it's the #2 US destination for corporate conferences.. seems like a win-win.

Yeah I've often thought the same thing. Like every day since it happened. I hope he has another night like that, my college fantasy team could use it!

Ditto.

not sure I can handle that much spread eagle, but I'm willing to give it a go..

I have on good authority it's actually this song... will be played as they are running out onto the field, of course.

yeah I read that as well. too bad, thought he was gonna be a significant part of it.

The part that isn't based on fact is your emotional denouncement of the value of private school education using gross generalizations. How do you know a private school education (such as that found at SMU) isn't better than some state schools? How do you know that Ivy league schools don't provide better educations than most state schools? I suppose we'd have to define "better" (educational experience, class sizes, availability of counselors, extracurricular activities, etc), but I think as a whole- in GENERAL- there are reasons people send their kids to these institutions... and it isn't all about money and status. The GOB network does exist. Everyone knows it. Also, the world isn't "fair". I guess my point is, WHO CARES?

If you think the "good ol' boy" network exists only at SMU, you are sadly mistaken. It happens at every level, in various degree-granting institutions and clubs- even UNT. I would much rather hire a person I know and trust, that is capable of doing a job than go out on a limb hiring someone random, ceteris paribus. Your rant isn't founded on logic or factual information, rather emotion which unfortunately comes across as jealousy.

actually, that's not entirely factual. They have very good faculty to student ratios and counselors that actually check with you to see how everything is going, etc. Having a brother there, I can tell you there are a lot of things that are really really nice about a private school. And to be fair, I've seen plenty of UNT grads that don't know the difference between your and you're, loose and lose.

hey I am too... but we've been talking about this for 3 years. He looked slow against OU. Granted, everyone did... Moseley at least looked quicker out of the hole (or as he was attempting to hit the hole). That's just a personal observation. This season has been strange to me in that the 2 parts of the team I thought were sewn up (Defense and Rushing game) have been non-existent.

ahh yes, pretty much the first front wheel drive car in America! All down hill from there... And I give it to the Dodge, in a landslide.

hey nice pull getting Miser to play! Good group of guys, been in and out of the Denton scene for a while. They put on a good show!

though play is very much a relative term these days with J-Mo.

dang, sorry... I remember seeing a Chuck Norris-esque thread go on for-ev-er.... didnt realize there was any difference!

Reading another thread, the question crossed my mind. Who wins?

unbelievable.

cool shirt... my first thought was, "wait- dont you mean FIU?" because that game took FOREVER last year and was a fieldgoalathon (new word, just created) and at times was quite literally, HOW MANY KICKS DOES IT TAKE... Even so, glad to see SGA taking the initiative! Hope it's packed Saturday with an array of green.

well said, ArkStatefan. I'm impressed with the level of commitment some of the Sun Belt schools have shown to athletics. As you know, I've always been a Sun Belt hater, and while I still would rather have some more regionally-appealing games (against the likes of SMU, UH, Rice, etc) on a consistent basis, it feels good watching your conference mates take it to the "big" schools. I think that commitment to become legitimate programs separates us from many of the C-USA also-rans and used-to-be's... Im not ready (just yet) to convert to a full-on Sun Belt supporter, but I'm getting there... the level of play we've seen lately certainly helps!

Agree. Just to clarify, I was saying that I don't think the bottom of C-USA is a whole lot better than the SBC. Ditto, and ditto.

In response to the original question posed in the thread topic, It hasn't yet!

Im just saying, if you took the best teams in C-USA and pitted them against the best teams in the SBC... I think it would be a pretty even split, depending on the matchups vs relative strengths and weaknesses. the bottom of the SBC is still an abysmal disaster and im not sure the bottom of C-USA is a whole lot better. The middle is the major difference between the two. Just my opinion

Oh, I think C-USA is better top to bottom, but I think FAU, MTSU, and Troy... and maybe even ASU... could play with any team in that conference. Hopefully we develop a defense, then I will able to someday say the same thing about us.

I agree, but Id argue that the belt is already on par with C-USA. We just don't have anyone that is as good as the top 2 of the WAC... yet.
