Did you see where the Buffalo Bills have mentioned moving to Austin among other possible destinations ?  The threat of a move is because the Bills are unhappy with their home stadium.  
 

The Texas Longhorns have apparently met fire with fire as they have been in discussions contemplating a move to Buffalo, New York in an effort to make the SEC a more regional conference.  
 

if Buffalo moves and the Longhorns stay, Austin would be the smallest market in the US with two professional football teams.

The Bills aren't moving here and there are several reasons:

1.) Buffalo doesn't want to lose them

2.) If they do leave, the NFL will almost certainly put them in Toronto for obvious reasons

3.) If they were to leave for a US city, I suspect it would be somewhere other than Texas, where the Cowboys and Texans want nothing to do with another franchise between them. And while the Texans are amongst the worst run pro franchises in America, Jerrah and the Cowboys aren't for when it comes to marketing and making money. He has more sway than just about anyone with the NFL and its locations.

Austin, not San Antonio.  Discuss...

With the way San Antonio supports the Spurs, you'd think a football team would receive the same support. But, what do I know?

The NFL doesn't have a strong track record of stopping a franchise from relocating where it wants to go. The only recent success was sending the Seahawks back to Seattle when they tried to move to LA in 1996.

A Bills move to Austin would be possible but that would be insane when Toronto is so close and a great new market.

Negotiating tactic nothing more. Would have been more credible if they had mentioned a different city. San Antonio is at least plausible, it would hurt UTSA for sure.

I don't think Jerry Jones would want them here. Mexico has a big fan base supporting the Cowboys. This was why New Orleans did not moved their team to SA some years back. Thank Jerry Jones.

Texans and Cowboys will fight it but makes a lot of sense. 
 

NFL shares tv, merchandise and gate. They don’t share luxury suite income. Austin has lot of businesses able to afford luxury boxes and no competition except Austin FC for the people who aren’t into UT. Also plenty of rich bros happy to spend big for a party venue that is pretty exclusive. 
 

Austin is a city of newcomers. Texans who maybe like someone other than UT, people from Big 12 states and Arkansas who hate UT, people from other states who already have a team and don’t care for UT.

The Bills used to play an annual game in Toronto but dropped it because of poor attendance. I doubt Toronto or any other Canadian city would be a destination because of ligation from CFL. Plus, why is NFL playing games in London and not in Canada if they were looking north for expansion or relocation?

I've been to Canada many times for vacation, and have never heard a Canadian say anything like "hey, we'd love to have NFL football replace Hockey Night in Canada". I have heard something like, "hey, get out of here before the next storm hits, so leave right now". That was in May, but wouldn't advise Canada after October for anyone who didn't just love the Texas weather for the week starting on Valentine's Day, 2021.

They can never ACTUALLY move a team to Central Texas, because then the next team couldn't threaten to move to Central Texas when they want a new stadium.

Few years ago wife and I flew to Boston spent a few days there (got to see the Predators open the season against the Bruins) then drove to Montreal and stayed in Old Town for a few days around Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving. Weather was great and leaves changing and all that.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      Keeler to Temple

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.
