what he said

i think the eventual goal is to get into a regional conference,not an aq conference. this is cusa or a combination of them,belt, and wac schools should a new "southwest conference" evolve. the mwc is not an aq conference,and with loss of tcu,byu, and utah will not be one.travel expenses and lack of exposure are killers for us in any western conference, plus our fans won't travel to monroe, let alone albuquerque.we need once again to take charge of the belt and then see what regional conference opportunities become available to us. but, in my opinion, we are not thinking aq at this point in time.

my bet would be if utep moved to mwc,[which i doubt they will] cusa would move memphis to west division and add a team in east. cusa is probably going to loose central florida to big east this summer, and would again add another team in east division. ecu and marshall are pushing this since they are out there by their lonesome. i would think w.ken.,middle. and fau would receive consideration.

la.tech. has a mediocre,cash straped athletic program in a rual market with about 60 black and white t.v.'s.why would cusa want them? in fact, why would the belt want them?

why would HOUSTON even consider mwc? we are 700 miles away from albuquerque; they would be about 900. neither school's fans travel to games as it is, and its not nor will be a bcs conference. why leave cusa? just asking.

we have been in a western conference before[big west] and it increases our expenses and because of time zone reduces our exposure. i'm sure thats why we turned down the wac when it was a viable conference. i agree that mwc is good move for boise because of upgrade in competition, but question if its good for us for the reasons i mentioned. having said that, a bird in hand.....,so it would be tough to turn down mwc. however, i doubt we are even on their radar.we will know more when mwc board of directors meets jan 24/25 in las vegas. my best guess is they decide TEXAS ia not in their footprint, and if they add anyone, which is a big if, it probably will be usu and a player to be named later. just a guess and by golly on my part.

mwc board of directors meets in las vegas jan. 24 & 25, and expansion discussion is on agenda.interesting that of texas schools mentioned on mwc forum, utsa was 1st choice and we were last should smu,utep, and houston be unavailable and mvc expand into texas.

i don't see us being attractive to the mwc, and i also don't see us moving west.its just a bigger, better big west/wac conference.in fact, i believe that utep, houston, and smu are happy in cusa. looks like if mwc does go to 12, it will be utah st. and a player to be named latter. good chance they stay at 10. presidents of mwc meet later this month, so we should know something in a few weeks. i thought our " consultant" recommened we stick to our knitting, become a player again in the belt , and hopefully good things will happen.am i wrong on that?

i went to that game and he was a key player in their win.

tickets in mail today to jon janeck.

opps. email address to wardly@tx.rr.com. thanks, ward

i will be in cabo. tough choice.

just asking, when was the last time TCU played Houston?

i think their helment is a copy of delaware's mud hen.

i have 2 on the floor free for 1st mailing adress sent to me for fau game thurs.,2/3/11.

what job?

i guess i don't get it, but i shouldn't let it get under my skin. i behaved as bad as one who made original post. i'm just a mean old man [new jerry lee lewis song]. if i am going to continue following this board, i need to start drinking again.

actually, i am being one now. i just don't think that everyone who changes their major, transfers schools, or votes republician is a quitter. thats a pretty broad brush. at any rate, i need to let this one go.

1]he is not big enought to play qb at a 1a program, even a sorry one like ours, hense all the injuries.2] only reason he came here was because of his dad, who got fired. 3]he still has desire to play qb at some level. in 1aa championship game last week in frisco, the eastern washington qb transfered down from smu, and deleware qb transfered down frow penn. state.4] i guess in your mind any player who transfers to n.t. except jucos are guitters.5]i don't guess you have ever changed job in you career, because that would be quitting.6] dodge had more guts that any kid i have personally seen play in my 50 years of following eagle ball, as opposed to you,who are gutless, besides being a jerk.

you really are a jerk!

you eat an elephant a bite at a time. dr. rawlings told me that the athletic dept. has $500,000 budgeted to advertise and promate the new stadium this year, especially prior to houston home opener.

ditto. kid had more pure guts than any player i personally have seen in 50 years of following eagleball.

pros & cons of adding mens baseball program.

i still don't understand why texas went to wyoming a few years ago to play in front of 30,000 fans.
