RE: When all is said and done... This is what was best for the AAC!

Of course the FoxSports morning guys mocked the conference. That is a bit radio guys use for most conferences outside of the SEC. Fortunately, radio innuendo doesn't dictate relevance. What UCF did in the Fiesta last year is a lot more germane to relevance. Sportshow guys will always draw hard lines and use language designed to make them sound discerning. It's the game.
Between exposure and achievements, the AAC is doing just fine carving out their place. That said, it is still just year 2, and announcers will play on just that fact when acting like they don't know the conference. However, they do. It's their job to know. It's just them playing up to a segment of their listeners who only pay attention to a certain Southern conference, and act like there's nothing else. It's the game.
