There is one coach in the country who truly knows what it is like to be a part of a disjointed conference.

Just consult Google.

For Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes to get from Ruston, La., to a WAC game in Hawaii, he needs 15 days, and a sturdy kayak to get him 2,756 miles across the Pacific.

Quick pause while you consult Google Maps.

Airline travel obviously alleviates the need for a kayak, but you get the point. Louisiana Tech has experienced what teams such as West Virginia, Boise State, San Diego State and Missouri are about to go through as they enter new conferences with tumbleweeds as neighbors.

During the recently completed football season, New Mexico State was the closest WAC road game for the Bulldogs, at 935 miles. The average distance between Louisiana Tech and its seven conference rivals in 2011? That would be 1,812 miles.
