Greer could play an important role in ushering in some transfers as he played at UAB.

Finally, something useful that Greer can bring to the team... if they come!

How about we hire Bill Clark as our DC?

That would be a pretty decent get, especially as d-lineman are a massive need on this team. Unfortunately, I don't think Mac has the cajones or the will to explore that option... especially as he's come out and said he's not going to rush the decision. That's admirable, but when you have a DC like Clark effectively fall into your lap... you have to at least put the call in.

Better how out for four stars. When they sign with us, one of the stars will vanish!

Mac didn't say that he wouldn't make a decision quickly, he said he would think about it. He implied that he wanted to wait and see who was available before making the call. I think if he likes Clark, then he would make the call quickly.

UMASS? They don't fit the footprint, CUSA needs a western replacement since Charlotte is coming in next year.

No way the CUSA presidents vote to be associated with Liberty. I know for a fact the NT academic leadership would burn down Apogee before agreeing to be in the same conference as Libery, where faculty are required to sign documentation stating they believe the earth is ~6000 years old.

And UMASS... didn't we just talk about them?

Does that mean the earth is only 6,000 days old? Because I've got a reasonably clear idea of where I was on 7/13/1998, and it wasn't swimming around in a void with no light or firmament. It was a Saturday. I was likely eating a morning buttermilk blueberry donut at VG's in Encinitas, CA while on my way to garage saling before an afternoon nap and a lively evening at The Office with a bartender by the name of Duke.

Dear Penthouse,

I'm assuming these guys can sign immediately, no?

Unless it happens to be the sabbath. In that case, they toileth not, and won't be able to sign until three stars are visible in the night sky.

Better is one day on your boards than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be an admin in the house of GMG than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

IF another school is added to replace UAB, I hope they take their time and evaluate what they're doing before the conference takes on another FIU.

CUSA looked at FIU for five months and took them in the first wave.

Technically they don't sign because they are transferring FBS to FBS. They could sign an NLI but it isn't binding.

AState is adding one DL and maybe an OL from UAB

I wonder if getting our asses handed to us on an Alabama platter is hurting our chances.

If anything, that would help our chances, as their players would think that they could start here.

I think the distance to a recruit's home or the home of someone he'd like to come to his games is probably more important than the distance to Birmingham. For those saying we should get "some" of the players, it depends on:

1. needs we have

2. skills of players available

3. degrees the player available are seeking

4. NT offering said degrees and if the programs actually suit the recruits

5. distance to family, girl friend(s), friends etc.

A lot of stuff has to align just right.

As for losing to UAB hurting our chances, I doubt that's much of a factor. Think of it this way, those kids probably think they can start for us and what kid doesn't want a chance to start!

Agree with everything here. By saying close to UAB, I was assuming much of their roster lived in fairly close proximity to UAB. That is probably not a good assumption.

What should trump everything is the chance to start. We have a lot of that here. Don't know why we haven't at least attracted one of these kids.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      Mean Green Travel to Tulane for Midweek Matchup

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      In terms of the Pac12/MWC tweet above and what they both started with (not the legacy Pac, the WSU and OSU Pac), the Pac12 came out way ahead of the MWC. They need 1 more right? Where do they get it or do they try to add more than one. In terms of the AAC, SMU out and Army In. Love having another service academy as a conference mate and it was probably the best move the conference could make...national recognition and following. The whole Army/Navy game piece is kind of a monkey wrench. Overall, with SMU's performance and getting into the CFP this year makes the loss of SMU a bit more that the addition of Army (at least this year). Let's see how the next couple years pan out.

      Like a lot of complaints, it’s probably a vocal few.
