Wednesday, July 26, 2006

NEW ORLEANS -- Troy University head coach Larry Blakeney mentioned at the Sun Belt Conference football media days gathering this week that he hoped the league would bring another team into the conference, giving it nine Division I-A-playing teams, which would give each team eight league games per year.

Commissioner Wright Waters admitted nine would be "the perfect number for scheduling," allowing four home and four road games each season.

Some within the conference believe the reality of a nine-team Sun Belt football roster may happen soon -- and the search won't have to take place outside the conference.

Come on Texas State! I would love to be able to host you Dentonites down here. W. Kentucky just means another long trip.

Since most people are giving up on going to the UT games, wouldn't it be nice to make the same drive, but play the Bobcats, instead?

I'm with you! That was a great rivalry we had, and 6th street in Austin was always a great place to party after the game! biggrin.gif
