Unt or Texas st is ok by me but the Florida twins will never go for it, they want there own Florida schools like fau and Florida tarpon st...

I can't speak for usf but UCF has no desire to share a conference with FAU/FIU. We are perfectly content playing then OOC

No to UNT, FAU, FIU.

How is this our call? We are one of 11 votes. It will matter to Houston too, oh and LA Tech will never be on the list unlike UNT.

I doubt it would be "your call" but I do bet that the only way they (or Rice for that matter) would be added is if the local neighbor was solidly and vocally for it.

Boy I’m tired of offseason.

Not anymore, Louisiana Tech has the record crowd now. Ahead of SMU and Houston and not even in the same state.

1. 30,105 Louisiana Tech September 29, 2018
L 27–29 (Tech won)
2. 29,515 SMU September 1, 2018
W 46-23 (UNT won)
3. 28,075 Houston September 10, 2014
L 23-48 (Houston won)

Maybe not the same state but isn’t LT closer than Houston. I know Shreveport is and you all have a lot of fans there.

I didn’t know that they taught geography in North Carolina?

We could just trade SMU for North Texas. Larger school. They just need to improve basketball facilities.

Are there any state flagships left that aren't in frozen wastelands?

West Virginia - seat's taken
North Carolina - seat's taken
South Carolina - seat's taken
Georgia - seat's taken
Florida - seat's taken
Mississippi - seat's taken
Louisiana - "You can sit here if you like"..."No!"
Texas - seat's taken
Arkansas - seat's taken
Tennessee - seat's taken
Missouri - seat's taken
Kentucky - seat's taken
Oklahoma - seat's taken
Colorado - seat's taken
Kansas - seat's taken and we don't want to sit with them because they are embarrassing

You thinking....Wyoming? New Mexico?

Buffalo - Largest University system in the US, AAU, Metro - 1,134,210 (US: 49th), CSA - 1,213,668 (US: 44th)... But too good to replace YOU-CONN.
UMass - Perfect replacement for YOU-CONN, slightly better football, slightly worse basketball.

See above about frozen wastelands. No Canadian schools.

Avg low in November is 29
First frost date: 10/5
Last frost date: 5/3 (5 MF'n 3!)
This Vegetable Planting Chart doesn't even acknowledge that the months October-February exist!

No,no no. North Texas is an after thought in Dallas. They have no coverage in the local news and Denton is not what I would call a college town.
