Nice interview Harry and JayD. Lots of interesting tidbits, but the MWC not wanting us anymore because of media deal was solid info. I have to wonder if AAC knew that or not and if we still used MWC as a bargaining chip anyways. All’s well that ends well. 
 

Also love that he reaffirmed what I’ve been thinking that MWC and AAC are set for years to come. Good times ahead.

A pretty high profile guest for the podcast, very cool.

I know I should feel lucky but I also feel a little bad we didn't get in to the MWC. To potentially leapfrog SMU would have been awesome. The AAC still feels like it's on shaky ground.

Thank you for the info @Harry and JD.  Lots of exciting things on the horizon for the Mean Green Nation for sure.  
 

We will instantly be one of the top programs in men’s basketball, women’s soccer & cross country and softball.  We belong in a good conference with stable, solid leadership.  I agree with Brett that the commissioners were helpless at the last minute, but I can’t recall anything positive Judy McCloud ever did over the years that gave the conference the chance to raise interest and revenue.  It won’t bother me in the least to see her go down with the ship, though I really feel for the programs that are getting left behind and some of the really great folks we have met from there over the years.   

 

It’s All Good And All Green!

Great Stuff guys!
Brett didn't sound too confident in C-USA's future.  Yikes!

Seems Brett confirmed that NT (along with Rice) was trying to get into MWC prior to joining the AAC.
Sucks the MWC didn't bite, but I'm thrilled with the consolation prize.
I recall some dumb poster was saying this over & over.  That guy is a regular Nostradamus!

I believe that the AAC is as strong/stronger as the MWC and will last just as long.  Since three of the AAC's strongest teams have been cherry-picked, the MWC may be a little stronger at the top.  However, if Boise State and San Diego State should leave, the rest of the conference is pretty average.

Better yet, the AAC will save us a ton of money with increased revenue to share and a tremendous amount in travel costs.  Our farthest trip will be to Philadelphia which is about 1,500 miles which we'll have to make twice every seven years.  The MWC has four members that are farther than that.  Furthermore, all of the West Division of the AAC  will be closer than the nearest member of the MWC (New Mexico).

We made out like a bandit.

I think we did as well @GrayEagle.  I think the Mountain West made a huge mistake here by losing out on the best Texas teams available.  And lost in translation, they added a very competitive FAU program that pounded SMU in a bowl game fairly recently.  I just never got the infatuation with the Mountain West.   I ind the AAC to be a much superior conference in terms of teams that have the location, enrollment, resources and potential to explode.  The Mountain West will always get some west coast eyeballs because of their time zone.  I think the AAC is the best fit for us and am thrilled we were able to make it in. 

My biggest concern is will we have the ability to compete in this conference.  It could take time.  With the right coach I think it could happen quickly.  This is a tough conference in both football and basketball.   It is also a great place to build a program as evidenced by Cincy, UCF, and Houston/Memphis/SMU most recently.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      In a city of 4 million people, I'd sure hope you'd have at least double the attendance of little ol' San Marcos. The only reason ya'll ever sniffed a 5 star recruit is because E.O. was a momma's boy that didn't want to leave home (like most UH students actually). Nobody was talking smack, UH fans are just low class losers and overall poor sports. The only reason you're in the BIG 12 is your daddy Tillman paid for it. Nobody cares about UH in Houston, it's all about UT, A&M and LSU.

      Idiot president-elect proposes Canada as 51st state

      Once again Republicans create their own little economic dystopia for some reason because your retirement accounts have never been higher, unemployment has never been lower, and inflation lagged behind the rest of the world. Yeah the world's biggest welfare queen turning twitter into a cesspool of nazis, bots and crypto scammers. Throttling the political opposition and using illegal lotteries to try and buy votes. Suing companies because they dare choose not to advertise next to usernames like killk**es1488. Every time he makes another boneheaded announcement like allowing people to still see blocked tweets, or arbitration that has to be settled by a judge he's donated money to, threads/bluesky/mastadon get a bump in new users. The world's richest man's threats to shut down the government over the spending bill just got $190 million stripped away from childhood cancer research. Enjoy what's left of the federal government being sold off to billionaires with their added profit taxes because god forbid something not make money.

      Build the rivalry between North Texas (Good Guys) and Texas State (Someone needs to be the bad guys 🤣), and everyone can agree that we wish UTSA nothing but bad luck

      You cant talk about a fanbase when we double your attendance. Funny how 4 and 5 star guys come play football and basketball in 3rd Ward but won't even look in San Marcos' direction. When opposing fans talk smack and try to start fights atnthe game, they get beer, red paint, etc dumped on them. Oh well. Texas Tech does even worse stuff. Hell, everything Tech and UH play each other, there's always a brawl in the stands. Lmao

      If the owners of this stie didn't need the visits/posts from you, you'd be gone...which is extremely pathetic on many, many levels.
