Midweek games:

He does not like midweek games, thinks they are terrible for attendance, however in this case it is the best way to get exposure on a major TV network.

ESPN has complete control of which games are selected for Tuesday Night. Sun Belt does not have a say. In the case of Friday Night games, ESPN requested the move, and we agreed after researching the success of Friday Night games.

He hopes a marquee opponent in Georgia Southern for our Wednesday Night game will help bring eyeballs to the league to watch what will be an exciting football game.

Future Plans

Still behind in facility enhancement. Once the End Zone complex for football is complete, the plan is to build a new baseball facility.

The school hopes to be able to add Softball in the near future and build them a facility.

I like Mohajir, but some of these statements are pretty lame.

I'm betting there are far more than 17 teams that are "interested" in the Big XII. But because they have no shot, like A State, not everyone tossed their name in the hat. So it's flattering to be on a list you put your name on?

Other than alumni where are the comments about being in the same league as Houston, TCU, ect coming from? AD's from the AAC?

Everyone (except La Tech) is interested in "geographically realigned version of the G5 leagues".

He "still thinks that is the best way for the G5 to succeed in the future." I'm glad someone in an influential position has finally come around to saying what I've been preaching for 3 years. The good thing is he's not getting hammered for saying it. I love validation. Yes I'm patting myself on the back.

It's ok, we understand the envy can manifest itself in the form of whining.

His greatness prediction is calling for us to win 10 games or more this year and dominate SBC play.

None of us are delusional enough to believe we're getting in the Big 12.

Only 10 wins, seems low, try harder.

We've only won 11 games once in the history of our football program in the regular season once. When he claims historic year...10-11 wins would be pretty historic.

What I said was less than 10 wins would be considered a disappointment this season.

That's my baseline.

8-0 in the league. A minimum of 2 OOC wins. Then whatever happens in the bowl.

I'm curious, do they teach reading comprehension out there in the mountains? I could not have been any clearer with my initial statement and now it's been misconstrued twice.

How cewl would this be in a couple years. All of this is on the table. Solid, improving, and exciting conference on the horizon. Stop thinking about the grass being greener with all the positive goings on in the Sun Belt. Move and you risk jumping off the wrong train.

You can't have everyone in the conference back or staying at winning ways. There's going to be 40 conference losses. We can't get rid of those.

I wondered if someone was going to catch on that.

In a perfect world your team goes undefeated while everyone else splits 50/50 and we all win OOC and max out our bowl opportunities. Not necessarily speaking of in conference play here.

They didn't do great in non-conference last year and counted the season a success because of going 8-0 in conference.

Not saying that's wrong, though I don't agree (cue the debate about who had the better season between App and StAte).

Better season or better team? I think it was proven on the field who the better team was. AState's OOC performance was disappointing to most, including myself.

It was a different team last year with different expectations.

If we lose to both Toledo and Utah State this year we haven't improved and it's going to be considered a disappointment.
