I'd say probably USA, but I think some of this is presumptive. What if Missouri State is added, then one of the teams considered in the "west" right now, will have to be shifted East. All of these predictions are that if an eastern team is added.

If Missouri State was added, ULL moves East. I doubt they would put Arkansas State and Missouri State in separate divisions.

I agree. For us that would be best case scenario

In what possible way is that anything remotely close to playing Russian roulette?

D'oh! You think Liberty will like Moscow?

Kinda has a cold war vibe about it wouldn't you say?

The Gulag Bowl

I like it already, at halftime they could have a performance of the Russian Kozachok dance. Spring the YouTube link to the 2:20 mark. Oh and for God sakes, don't try it at home...any of it!

Who stole the video of a our conditioning program.
I would say a Georgia school for recruiting reasons. GA ST no hour drive after a flight so that would be good .The return trip flying to Spokane and driving to Moscow is similar to GA Southern.

Would think Arkansas State because we would probably have a lot of fans travel to that game.
Plus they are good and will be even better.
Block "A" and ASU Trophy sounds good.
If we don't get them then Louisiana for the food and competition.
Texas State would be fine if those are taken.

That Russian video makes you think that the Marx Brothers made at least one trip to
Moscow back in the 30's. Seen them do some of those steps in a couple of old movies.

I'd be happy with ULM, TXST or stAte

Appalachian State...It just seems to me that Ragin' Cajuns VS. Mountaineers is a natural....Swamp People VS. Mountain Men!!!!

I like the way you think! We have some of that going on in my family with my brother being the Swamp Man (Okefenokee in this case) and me being the Mountaineer.

Louisiana or Arkansas State would be my top two picks...hard to put those two in any particular order though.

Just so you knuckle draggers don't bring the Creature from the Black Lagoon with you. That guy has always concerned me since I was a kid. Had nightmares.

IDAHO!!!!!!

J/K - nobody wants that ish.

I'd want the Cajuns, purely for the food. :)

There won't be any permanent partners because there are no rivalries to preserve. Also, no one wants to be permanent with the teams well outside the region. The setup will be to rotate two teams every year so you play every cross division team every 3 years.

Georgia State is a perfect partner for Idaho since "Once you are on a plane, it does not matter".

It's more than one plane.

I think I saw a teaser commercial on that new reality series on the Discovery Channel last night. If we could get Oregon (i.e. Duck Dynasty) in the Belt we'd be all set.

You sound pretty sure in your statement.

In a twelve team conference you'd play 3 teams from the other division not two to get to eight conference games.

While it is true there are no rivalries to preserve there are rivalries to create.

I'd have to say Georgia St. Features two "state" schools. Atlanta is easy to get to and would be fun to visit. Battle of the cats.

App St - I'd love to go to Boone plus great crowd
GaSo - I assume good tailgating
USA - Another startup with lots of potential. Mobile has easy access too. Plus I like the beaches around there.
Troy - Traditional SBC powerhouse
Those are all good options as well. Really can't go wrong with the east side.

WKU would be fun if they weren't leaving.

I'd go with Troy. There seems to be a lot of interest from both sides on this. Plus, on a selfish note, it would be an easy drive from Marietta.
