M.Applewhite!!!!!

Because the Texas running game is so good this year??? No thanks.

And lets not be so quick to anoint Bower. He is good, but I think we can do better. Lets see what the search firm has to say, and then debate their selections.

Terry, yes. Bobby, not so much.

Why does Tommy Bowden never get mentioned? He was a good coach at Clemson. He has a name that would attract attention.

Tommy has been mentioned. It's Bobby that should not have been mentioned. He's retired and from what I hear plans to stay that way.

Forget that he didn't have a single losing season at Clemson, when you can take a Tulane team that had won five games in the previous three seasons and go 7-4 and then a perfect 12-0 he should get more than just mentioned.

Of course, that could be the fault of the O-Line coach or the offensive coordinator. Just sayin'

It's no secret that the Texas running game has struggled the past few years. Texas recruits some of the top talent in the country at every position and still has trouble running the ball. Charles was the last good back out of Texas. If this were only a problem this season I'd be ok with saying it could be the fault of the O-line coach or the O-Coordinator, but it has been a few years since Texas has run the ball well, and they had some good O- lines for most of the last few seasons. The plain truth is Texas has too much talent not to have a top running back, so it must be the coaching.

I laughed during their game today when the announcers talked about how they don't have a line that was built to pass block every play. If they can't run the ball and they can't pass block, just say their line sucks and be done with it.

I could not agree more.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      This gets the PAC to their first goal of full football membership before 2026. It also paves the way for entry into Texas. Perhaps at the suggestion of media advisors? Further expansion later to set up a possible Eastern Division of the PAC is predicted by several fan forums. PAC West: Wash St, Ore St, Fresno St, Boise St, Utah St, SDSU PAC East: Colo St., Texas St, "X", "X", "X", "X"

      I believe Army has been a positive addition to AAC football as far as the ESPN media contract viewership. Especially with the great football season they just had. UNT has had several games on mainline ESPN channels in both football and basketball this school year. I would say the most in a single season in our athletic history. I don't think they would have elevated us if we didn't warrant it with ESPN.

      TxSt is at the right place, at the right time. Tulane and Memphis said no, UNLV and AFA got tied down to the MWC for extra money, it looks like the PAC doesn't want to bring up an FCS school, the AAC options come with a $27M exit fee hurdle. Who else is out there? NMSU? SHSU? The PAC needs to have an 8th full member before July 1st 2026 to keep their FBS designation. They don't have time to wait for options. They need to get schedules, and media partners settled. TxSt pays $5M to get out of the SBC, a very accessible number.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Agree, everything will depend on the dollar amounts. $12M a team and I think we see some teams making the jump, personally I'm just not sure if they can get much more than what the AAC gets. If the AAC media deal does drop significantly in 2032 I would expect teams to move then, plus you would have no exit fees since you are in between contracts similar to how the Pac12 fell apart. We'll see soon enough who their media partner will be, and what kind of appetite they have for content.
