The league is known to covet a Texas member to replace Texas Christian, which leaves after the 2011 season.

As another alums pointed out to me "Boise has just re-joined the old WAC." Just about right on that, too, but I would still love to re-unite with Boise again as a conference-mate.

My guess is they are waiting to see how their season goes with their new members to see if it draws national attention (as the WAC did from Boise St/Nevada).

If it does, then I bet they come talking with UH/UTEP again with that as leverage.

I think for us, we better hope that the new MWC does terrible so that UH and UTEP won't be rethinking their decisions.

The MWC made the right move. Now way UH, SMU or UTEP would join now (CUSA TV deal is good $$$ and it is lateral move to MWC). If UH moves to Big East then maybe you get UTEP or SMU. Plus, some believe Big 12 is unstable right now. Also, if nothing happens you have time to really look at UNT, TxSt, and UTSA. If UNT can have another good run in Belt then North Texas becomes a viable expansion target. If you believe UTSA people, they'll be dominating the WAC in a couple of years so they will be a viable candidate. No need to expand just to expand at this point.

      What will be the score in the Tulsa game

      I feel if we play as we did against Wyoming especially if we get some players back we should be at Tulsa by about 38 to 14. we just need to come out of the gate and shove the ball down their throat and don't let up. Go Mean Green beat Tulsa.

      Memphis, Tulane, USF Turn Down 2PAC....Staying in AAC

      I don’t think there will be reconsideration. The AAC has a good thing and can lure JMU and Air Force if desired. The ground got more solid the last 24. Good for us, because our hype train is pulling into the station this month and loading up! GMG

      Week 4 Bowl ESPN Projections

      I would love for us to get a team we had good chances against in a bowl game. I and many others have been to all bowls since we won the New Orleans bowl and have only seen 2wins although last bowl game we played in was close and we showed UNT can play with a lot of teams. We will end up 7 -5 or 8-4 and might get a decent bowl not in mid December. Go Mean Green keep up the 3-4 and win 9.

      Memphis, USF, UTSA, and Tulane all reject PAC-6, will remain in the AAC

      I really hope the AAC Commish is talking with both Air Force and UNLV.... Pac-12 realignment talks: UNLV (and Air Force) reconsiders decision amid chaotic day, per report "A later report from Thamel stated Air Force may not be locked into the Mountain West either. They are expected to be in contact with UNLV and the two programs may wind up making their decision together. Both wanted eight teams to be in the MWC but Utah State’s decision changed things. “Source: Expect Air Force and UNLV to be in close contact about the future,” Thamel said via X. “Air Force and UNLV were both lock step when they signed MOUs to commit to the Mountain West today. With those not valid because all eight schools didn’t commit, expect UNLV and AFA to be in close touch.” https://www.on3.com/news/pac-12-realignment-talks-unlv-reconsiders-decision-amid-chaotic-day-per-report/
