Excellent. Finally our spot in a P3 conference.   Good thing that TCU game is rolling off the schedule. Is does nothing for SMU to play an OOC game against a lower conference.

Sir, there is a coalition of 8 schools trying to leave a conference you joined for free.

Is that the coalition of the willing?

Some complain about having a coach that might get poached. But it beats having a coach no other team would take.

Same here.  Potential issues in the future beats being in a conference with only schools nobody wants to poach. (AAC/B12)

Congrats SMU. Now for UNT, we really need the AAC to add Washington and Oregon State to keep us competitive for the 5th playoff spot every year. That will be the next domino to fall. We can certainly beat MWC with more money. 

Then let’s add SDSU, UNLV, and a Colorado team.

Dellenger is reporting we'll still get tournament money, in which case we'd be making $5-$10 per year. It may still actually be a raise over our AAC money to take zero media money.

When North Carolina came out so strongly against expanding/adding these three, you knew how this was going to go down.  They wanted everyone to know where they stood and that they were in the minority.

I'm moreso pointing out the desperation to feel included. I keep seeing smu fans say you do anything to not be left behind but at some point you have to step outside your circle and see how sad the situation is. Taking less for a few years to move up is understandable. Taking nothing for nearly a decade is laughable. It effectively shows the world you have no value and you know it. I don't need to pay for friends so maybe that's why I don't understand.

SMU will now forever be known for two things:  the death penalty and their parents paying the other kids to be nice and play with them.  Sad and embarrassing at the same time.

I'm laughing at schools on the east coast playing a weekday basketball conference game at Cal and Stanford. A 7 PM tipoff on the west coast will be 11 PM on the east coast!

In a world where the AAC is raiding the MWC (and hopefully that is this world), I'm not sure why I see so many advocating for UNLV. They're no longer the basketball school they were in the 80s or even the late 00's, early '10s. They've had 1 winning football season in the last 22 years, and it's the year we beat them in the Heart of Dallas bowl.

Hard pass from me.

It’s mainly for the LV in UNLV.

Can't. The AAC has to land OrSt and Wazzou first and foremost. Then, the AAC can look to add the top 2 or 3 MWC schools in 2024, for a 2025 addition. If we don't land them, MWC will. And MWC will come after 2 or 3 top AAC schools. 

It's imperative that the AAC gets them to join this conference.

I'd much rather snag Boise, SDSU, CoSt, and AF. Maybe UNLV falls into the 5th to take, perhaps. I don't believe the AAC will take that many, however. It will probably be 3, to get to 18. If Aresoco wants to get to 20, then UNLV is probably a lock.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I can’t get over how the offense just dies all of a sudden. As soon as they lose (or can’t establish) a rhythm they’re obsolete for an entire quarter and a half. (Ex: Memphis when the defense actually held and made them go 3 and out multiple times before the flood gates opene; Army when they couldn’t do anything the whole game; ECU and the abysmal 3rd quarter; heck even against Tulane they were only up by like 3 before the end of the half and got super lucky with multiple short field positions due to mistakes). The statistics for the offense feels hollow. Super explosive but no capability to sustain a slow, clock bleeding drive. Which means short time of possession and longer time for the defense to be out there. I guess live by the air raid, die by the air raid. (And they’ve been consistently dying)

      ****OFFICIAL ECU vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      S.O.S. We made too many mistakes…we didn’t play complimentary football…had our chances…I could’ve called a better play to help us out…defense gave up too much…blah blah blah. It’s the same excuses he puts out there the past 5-6 weeks. Seems to me that all goes back to coaching. All of this is a product he created with his environment and culture. This is what you get when you have a coach that’s inexperienced and doesn’t know how to get out of funks. No proper adjustments and make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      Didn't he come in a play or two after the DPI call on the 3rd down pass to Conwright? I agree with you though that it was bizarre. I was searching for him on the sidelines and wondering why he wasn't in the game. It's a complete head-scratcher even after sleeping on it.

      Honest tactical question here…

      100% yes. This is the Achilles’ heel of the air raid system. To win consistently with the air raid, a deep defensive bench is needed to keep fresh legs on the field. Otherwise while the offense is high flying, the defense is absolutely gassed come the 3rd and 4th quarters. No disrespect to Mike Leach but I’m over the air raid system. I want to see us run the ball, dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock, and allow our defense time to rest so they can in turn make stops. This is complimentary football.
