We never know what comes pf his kind of good will but, it pleases me.

The ACC could confirm Stanford, Cal and SMU as new members by as soon as this weekend, The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach reported yesterday. Nothing matters anymore. You could tell me the CFL is merging with the AAC and I’d believe you. Stewart Mandel worded it well: Adding Stanford, Cal and SMU makes perfect sense and no sense at all.

Prognosticated.

Tonight I'm feeling a bit off about this season...got me low...think I'll have a little nipper.

Happy Birthday, Sir!

From the interwebs: "Membership in the AAU is by invitation only and is based on an extensive set of quantitative indicators that describe the breadth and quality of a university’s research and education. AAU membership is a status coveted by major U.S. institutions because it is considered to be the pinnacle recognition of the stature of a research university. It’s a very exclusive club." From my conversations with professors and administrators over the years, I believe the key component is research. It would be the apogee of a dream come true for me if North Texas received an invitation. Alas...

I am 100% in favor of playing Army/Navy/Air Force and am hopeful of sharing a conference with them because they are national brands unlike any other.

Good point. I do not see any way to keep college football from separating from the other sports. Money is the ruling factor but, it's not only about the money, it's also about students attending classes.

Yes. The ESPN logo can be copied by anyone...even me. Here is an example:

And, when you say, "new", you mean, "fake"?

your = you're

For what it's worth, I looked it up. Stanford is currently the fourth best college in the US as ranked by US N&WR. Rice University is ranked as the 15th best college and Tulane University is ranked as the 44th best college.

Whe'er Fouts or DATCU, Boom!...that's news from our cannon Now...a green tattoo!

Who says we can't put a sign on the lawn and call it anything we want?

Having tech problems here in Atlanta...really appreciate the updates!

Am i doing something wrong or has the game been delayed?

Probably as long as that terminology comfortably serves the media's narrative.

Article from NYT By Chris Vannini Jul 26, 2023 (behind paywall). Pretty much repeats what has already been said...just good to see us included in a somewhat larger conversation: “The parity of talent may be the most in the country from team one to 14,” Herman said at AAC media days this week, “and that’s going to make for a gauntlet of a season.” "It’s a new era for the AAC, with three teams off to the Big 12 and six new schools in the league: Charlotte, FAU, North Texas, Rice, UAB and UTSA. Despite losing those three heavy hitters and the five New Year’s Six/College Football Playoff appearances between them, commissioner Mike Aresco remains as defiant as ever. “This conference will continue to achieve at the highest level,” Aresco said Tuesday. “We will continue to upset the P5 narrative, we will continue to provide rocket fuel to our members. We will continue to will our conference to greatness.” "One of Aresco’s biggest public pushes continues to be ending the “Group of 5” label as the 12-team College Football Playoff begins next year and treats all 10 FBS conferences equally in terms of opportunity. The man who pushed to Power 6 says his conference will continue using the word “power,” but not as a division. "In a decade, his conference has collected scores of victories over Power 5 teams. Tulane beat Big 12 champion Kansas State and Pac-12 runner-up USC last year. This year, Tulane hosts Ole Miss, North Texas hosts Cal and USF hosts Alabama, two of which have the look of potential upsets on paper. In an era of realignment, postseason expansion and other major changes to the sport, the AAC won’t settle for how others want to box it in. https://theathletic.com/4722420/2023/07/26/aac-football-members-conference-realignment/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983

An additional possibility is another conference poaching AAC's commissioner, Mike Aresco.

Excellent! Thanks for keeping us updated. When is the next game?

I hope one of you will post scores through the game for us shut-ins. Thanks!

Congratulations, Chief Jackson!

What great energy! Their affection for our university is infectious.
