I hope this is a lesson that we never should have any business scheduling more than one Non-Div 1 school. In the past we've had two or at most three during the JJ era but five it is outright embarrassment, especially when you consider they were all home games.

Johhny always had some tough ones just like we did this year (Portland, Oklahoman, BYU, SFA and Texas A@M (remains to be seen) and then he would schedule easier opponents. We always had the likes of Sam Houston state, Jackson state, Cameron, SE Louisiana, Texas southern, university of the southwest. In fact all of those schools were played in the same season. We also had a few tough games that year like Oklahoma state, rice, and Texas A@M. But that was a Johhny schedule. Plus sunbelt conference games. It's a decent schedule but not to far off from Benfords. We should have just kept UTA.

I'm sure people loved seeing Cameron, Texas southern, SE Louisiana, university of the southwest and Oklahoma panhandle state at home.... No one complained then? Because those 5 games at home are so much better...

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      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.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/12/25)

      Get your rears to The Pit tomorrow! The ladies have a difficult opponent to face coming off their failed comeback in New Orleans the other night. South Florida is 11-6 but tied for a league-best 4-0 in AAC play. They were picked to win the conference last year but we beat them in our one meeting in Tampa. USF absolutely crushed Wichita State the other night in Kansas: 72-46. Tickets: https://meangreensports.evenue.net/event/WB24/WB10
