Chappy......look at those helmets and tell me CUSA doesn't suck especially with the HUGE difference in money.

Oh jeepers. I mean, if a universally-respected scholar like Andre Ware is critical about it - and to be honest, I'm not sure any of us have the intellectual fortitude to be able to keep up with Andre "Good Will Hunting" Ware - then maybe Houston SHOULD rethink things. This is serious!

Ware just doesn't have a lot of respect for BE Football.

Lemonade, my friend. Fortunately I don't go to games to see the visiting team, or else I probably would cancel my tickets.

Endorsed us and the BE, whole heartedly. He's already done so.

I don't think Andre is an idiot.

I think ESPN asked Andre to trash our move to the Big East as a part of their campaign to devalue the Big East as we head into TV negotiations.

And by playing along with ESPN, I have lost all respect for Andre. He's a complete sell out.

What do you think Jim Nantz would have done in that situation?

He'd still dump his wife and date a girl half his age.

After watching the video (posted on the CUSA board), it didn't seem organic at all. He had to go back and check his notes 3-4 times, basically reading his opinion to the viewers.

ESPiN, IMO. Let's degrade this conference as much as possible, in hopes of buying their inventory as cheaply as possible.

ESPN is terrible. Beano Cook is the worst.

I think that Andre Ware is being myopic. The BE is a greater advantage, better bowl tie ins, more money, and greater competition. It's silly that Ware would think that.

Houston to the BE a mistake??? No
The Detroit Lions 1990 pick at #7? Yep
