Good for Coach Dickey. It didn't end well here but hopefully he has learned from the past. It will be interesting to see what offense they run with him totally in charge.

Hope it works out for Darrell. He has paid his dues since his self-imposed exile from the Mean Green Nation. I do wonder if the stress of being a head coach is what contributed to his heart problems here? Those pressures are not likely to be less in Memphis after a 9-3 Season. He needs to be careful, but I wish him the best.

If he can make that offense go, like it has under Fuente, then he can be very successful. But that requires a good passing game, something he isn't known to like. Maybe it will be different for him as he sits at a place where recruiting is much easier and support, both financially and in attendance, will dwarf anything he dealt with here.

But a big part of me wants to see a Sportscenter highlight of Memphis fans screaming, "Throw the ball!! Throw the ball" during a loss to some AAC team...#MGschadenfreude

What Dickey and his players accomplished are like a fine wine. It keeps looking better and better with age.

Agree 100%, the fact Dickey and his staff were able to recruit double digit DaMN State Top 100s (with those resources, that stadium, and to that conference) looks crazier and crazier.  Dodge got one (his son), Mac got one (Tee Gorree).

I remember the 2003 New Orleans Bowl. It was the first vacation for me and my wife while we were dating. It was a couple of days before the game and we stumbled into a bar in the French Quarter(I forget which one). We are sitting there drinking and I glance over to some guy sitting alone drinking at a table. It was DD himself and let's just say he was "enjoying" his evening. I told my wife I wanted to see if I could get a picture with him. I walked over and asked DD for a picture. He looked up at me, stood up and said "Bull$hit". He took the camera from my wife, handed it to me and put his arm around her for a picture. I took the picture and then he then took the camera from me and handed the camera to my wife for a picture with me. We then all looked at each other and burst out with rather loud laughter even for a bar. It was a great moment that I'll never forget.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
