If that turns out to be your only vote, it's worth 11 which would advance them to #11 as it now stands. It's not exactly 54 but it's a good start.

The New Big 8 Conference

1. North Texas

2. Texas

3. Texas A&M

4. Texas Tech

5. LSU

6. Arkansas

7. Oklahoma

8. Oklahoma State

As crazy and impossible as that would be it is the only honest reply so far. Everyone else is trying to be some what realistic with their picks instead of going for the best possible conference. It's kind embarrassing that we even censor our dreams.

I would add

Kansas

Missouri

Nebraska

Colorado

Ranking in order of preference, first to last:

Memphis

Houston

SMU

Rice

Southern Miss

Louisiana Tech

Tulane

Tulsa

Arkansas State

Louisiana

Troy

I left out TCU because I think there is no way. Memphis, probably real unlikely but not totally gone. Big East football is the PITTs.

Here is a 12-team conference I'd like to see:

East Division:

Troy

Memphis

Southern Miss

Arkansas State

Louisiana Tech

Tulane

West Division:

NT

Houston

Rice

SMU

Tulsa

Louisiana

Poor MT and Northeast get left out. If only MT would change their name; same with UAB. UTEP, name problem and way out west. NMSU just too far from the rest also.

One thing though is the above conference may be too concentrated, though there is a lot of talent in the area covered.

I say leave out UTEP and NMSU. Too far!

UNT

Houston

TCU

SMU

Tulsa

Rice

Baylor

La Tech

ULL

Tulane

Ark St

ULM

(yes I know we aren't supposed to touch the big conferences, but someone reconstructed a new Big 12 so I can steal Baylor, dammit)

And the name is the Southwest Conference. There would be 4 SWC former members, so why not resurrect a name with instant recognition.

I think that UNT vs Houston would be an awesome rivalry to develop (even as an OOC tradition).

In the latest update I'm only going to list the Top 11 without the points.

Houston

SMU

TCU

UTEP

Rice

Tulsa

New Mexico State

Southern Miss

Arkansas State

Tulane

Louisiana Tech

There are four others in very close proximity to the #11 spot....Louisiana-Lafayette, Troy, Memphis and Middle Tennessee. In the event of a tie for the 11th spot, the winner will be the one named on the most ballots.

I think this way you have the obvious geographical rivalries, thus increasing fan interest; you will have regional TV; you have a good football conference, a good basketball conference, and a good baseball conference. You have schools that are in similar condition within their athletic departments. Also, when it comes to scheduling, you don't have many OOC games, or bodybag games! I'm all for it!

Take out Houston and Tulane and you have a pretty good shot at making that work....

      When The Portal Opens

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
