AAC Expansion

[TU Pilot]

Navy has specifically requested to be in the same division with us, Tulane, SMU and Rice.

Interesting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the opportunity to beat up the squids, but geographically (and us not actually beating them) they should be in the East division.

Since it is football only I guess the geography is less of a concern.

Understood. Just thinking that it helps someone like Temple to have another northeastern opponent.

Yeah I wrestled with it for a bit. Lol

It is quite possible that it could relate to academic standing, though not likely being that realignment could give two shizz less about actual college.

Is El Paso really a part of Texas anymore or just an annexation of Mexico?

I think it goes for all of Texas....we should just give it back to Mexico and let them deal with the morons

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing about California

B

Both.

 

[TUcandoit]

California first....I dont think anyone likes them. Shoot, most Californians don't like Californians.

 

[drboobay]

And Texans like themselves too much.

I am a man of moderation.

I keep hoping for that fault line to take care of most of the “left coast”

I lived in NorCal for a very long time and felt one tiny earthquake. My dad, in Tulsa, felt a lot more quakes and a lot stronger ones. The sad reality is that we'll destroy ourselves long before the earth gets around to wiping us out.

I think Temple is by far the most forgettable school in the conference. I'm always surprised when I remember they're with us.

In the Midwest full time now?

 

[TulsaRulzOSUdrools]

SMU adds nothing and I mean absolutely nothing to the B12. Those fans were are all coked up and drunk when they were typing that.

Yes, for now at least. Might change when travel opens back up. Always nice to get a change of scenery

In semi related news, southern miss has joined the sunbelt.

There's no Harlem Globetrotters without the Washington Generals. Nobody wants a conference where everyone finishes between 5-3 and 3-5. Gotta have someone besides Kansas to lose 7 or 8 conference games a year and might as well get someone that's close to a large hub airport.

It's weird that LaTech and UTEP are on the outside looking in for all of these realignment talks.

And California is the picture perfect example of human beings attempting to destroy themselves... We don't have big ones generally, but we certainly have had more than our share in the last decade. Oklahoma just doesn't have the population density to lend itself to the massive amount of damage quakes cause on the coast. Not saying they don't do damage, just that there are far fewer structures here.

CA is a victim of its own success. There are something like 40m+ people who want to live in the LA and SF/SJ metros and population is crushing both areas and is completely overwhelming the infrastructure. Earthquakes in the US tend to be property events, they don't kill many people thanks to building codes and regulations.

California's fine except for Bakersfield. That place sucks royally.

Exactly. Oakland was extremely bad in this regard.

Fresno?

 

[TU_BLA]

Fresno?

So, I've never personally been to Fresno so it's hard for me to comment. Bakersfield...

 

[rusty-c]

Sucks!
