Noticed this AM that Houston B. has hired the Kansas St. DC as their new football coach. The team will start play in the Southland Conference in 2014. In 2013 they will play as an independent.

And they plan to build a 10,000 seat on-campus stadium, but not right away. Not sure where they have enough land, unless they own the property at the corner of SW Freeway & Fondren where there's a shopping center that would be ripe for being torn down.

Given that they play basketball in a gym that probably seats less than 1000, that's ambitious. But at least they don't think they belong in the Alliance.

They better hand out bullet proof vests to sit outside in that part of Houston.

They could ask TXDOT to build those sound barrier walls around the stadium. That would stop the bullets.

They hired the Ex-KU DC (not KSU). Vic Sheely was the DC of one of the worst defenses in history of college football this past year. Now he was put in tough spot when regular DC took leave right before season started.

HBU has made a nice move in a few years. They went from the wasteland of the Great West conference to the Southland. Now that's where I hope they stay because I have nightmares of them being pushed into a better conference because of their market.

I've lived in Houston for twenty years and just now realized that there was an HBU. I saw a sticker and me and my girlfriend (also a Houston native) sat there going "What's HBU!?" We looked up it and were like..."oh."

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
