well said. We all know the saga and mistakes made that lead us here. But doesnt it make sense instead of continually bitching and complaining, to move on ? We all need to understand we arent one of the power conferences ! So what ? We have some damn good schools in this conference that can produce some exciting games. Lets focus on developing some rivalries, and support our schools.

I think this is a great thought that other fans here can learn from. So what if the AAC is not one of the sexy conferences. If the schools pull together, it could develop into something good.

I think that the AAC is great! Can't wait for the upcoming season.

I think the AAC can and will have a strong basketball league and ranked football teams every year, and it will likely earn the league as much respect as it earned C-USA in the late 90's/early 00's.

Well stated, I agree 100%. Cincinnati is truly with our peers in the AAC.

Bounce, I'm sensing sencirity since no coffee drinking smiley???

So much for simplifying your life and focusing on your alma mater.
I was hoping your visits to the AAC board would be much more infrequent.

Good Mikko is not banned......

I thought he was; was going to miss him, he replaced TigersharkII for me from years ago. And where has UConn rah, rah SF Husky and Syracuse rah, rah Cuseroc gone off to?

That's a shame, because I thought the conference was giving the current schools everything they were seeking from the conference. No more hybrid, everyone now having the same goals and strategic vision, etc. I guess I don't understand the anger from quite a few posters over here.

What was the final score of the UC-Pitt game last year?

It's because they aren't Memphis fans!

I am not upset about replacing Pitt with say ucf, since they will put up a better game. The extra money from the acc may now put Pitt on equal ground with Cincy.
