The fact that you thought it would hurt my feelings because you dont want my school in your conference just makes me laugh and feel sorry for you.

We don't go to high school stadiums. We'll make you play us in Nashville.

Like I said, you guys hire the coaches that couldn't cut it in Houston. Funny how WKU has all these so called accomplishments and nothing to show for it. Most people have never heard of WKU but hey, at least your mascot is recognizable.

Didn't Houston have a great offense that led the nation while Levine was there, if so he sounds like a great hire for the offense. Nothing to show for it? Not even sure where your going with that...... go play somewhere else little girl.

No. In fact, his lack of consistent offense got him fired. His biggest faults were no experience as an OC or DC and a lack of strong network of potential hires. He was a good man and solid recruiter---he just wasn't quite ready yet. As an HC---he wasnt terrible---but he wasnt very good either.

Spending time under Brohm and getting an opportunity to be an OC (assuming he is successful at the job) could easily set him up for another HC opportunity down the line. My personal opinion is he will be much better the second time around. He recruits well----thats more than half the battle.

Thanks for the polite response, Levine isn't the head coach so we don't have to worry about that part, but I think he will be working his tail off to get back to that status.

It is funny to see supposed fans say "We do this" and "We do that".... usually these guys disappear after a couple of losses...lol

Until the AAC decides to leave the Group of 5 contract that has the autobid to the highest ranked conference champion and the revenue distribution to try to earn their own Access Bowl slot, then they are firmly and contractually in the Group of 5.

If the AAC were serious about leaving the Group of 5, they have the power to do that themselves.

Media coverage is the most important difference. Our schools are being broadcasted like never before and because of this, growing like never before. The American has a mix of major brands and up and coming ones that are all growing tremendously. Brands so strong a P5 was interested in almost every school in the conference. The attendance/fan support is another big difference. Back in the days when the Tigers played in CUSA I felt like I was watching high school football 85% of the time.. but now It's completely different all the coverage feels like we're in a hmmmmm.... P5

.....

Even though the American is young, it has been viewed as superior from the start in 2013 from the other G4's. As our schools and fan bases continue to compete and accustomed it will only become stronger. We have a lot left to prove and gladly take the challenge. With that being said branding ourself as better only lights the flame even brighter to prove it for all the critics. It will make every non conference game more critical just because we are being watched and judged by many. With all the hype this P6 branding has done it will result in more competitive exciting games.

All of this is opinionated nonsense. It sounds like a Donald Trump rally. It's the same as your P6 stickers. Pointless.

To be fair though, most things posted on the boards are opinionated and at times sound like a Clinton, Trump, or Obama political rally. In essence, one is frequently either 100% for what is being said or 100% against it.

Most everyone understands the logic behind the pasting of the P6 stickers on the helmets. While I find it annoying, stuck up, and insulting of them to act like they are so much better than the rest of the G5 that they reside in, who knows it may one day pay off for them in the end. I don't think the odds are in their favor of it happening, but the old saying of nothing ventured, nothing gained at least comes to mind as they are doing it. They do have a good conference and I have to admire how aggressively they are trying to better themselves as a conference and achieve their goal.

I agree with an LA Tech poster who commented earlier about the next time they are up for renewal of their TV contract. That will be telling about how far they have gone toward reaching their stated goal. They still have to schedule more against the P5 schools, be successful in those games, and win more bowl games though as the article noted before I think they would ever have a chance even if they do somehow get a big TV contract.

He was a GREAT pickup for us. We had arguably one of the best special teams squad in the entire country last year and it was due to him. That was his job here. And they were outstanding. Special teams is truly 1/3 of your team even though they don't spend the time O or D does on the field. I love me some good special teams. I know what happened to him and understand him being let go in Houston but wish the best for him in the future. He's a former Hilltopper now in my book.

I think he was a great pick up for you guys. I think the more he learns about offense from Brohm the better his chances are to be an HC in the future. I actually think he will be very good next time he gets a shot to be the main guy.

This is the goal of the campaign to align with the P5. So far, CBS Sports and Athlon have bit. AthlonSports.com NCAAF mobile page shows the AAC logo alongside the P5 in the conference drop down. Incrementally, positive so far.

Levine's saving grace was Greg Ward Jr. Without him, it would have been much worse. He clearly had the team unprepared numerous times, starting with the Texas State game his first full year.

He was Special Teams coach at WKU and passed over for our current HC now Mike Sanford, so I guess we can say we hire former Houston Head Coaches to be ST coaches for us...

This is the best rebuttal and issue I have with it. Put up or shut up.

Here's the reality. #1 You can't just leave. You are contractually obligated to it. #2 If you do just leave then your revenue from the playoff goes to ZERO. #3 The rest of the P5 has to invite you in to share their revenue at a higher rate with you which decreases their revenue. They have no incentive to do that. It's giving money away. Lastly, they would also have to give you an equal vote and if there is anything the P5 likes more than winning it's their money and their power. In other words, you guys can go on this campaign all day long every day but it's never going to matter. Saying something doesn't make it true no matter how many times you say it, and that's ultimately what you guys are doing. It's like the AAC brass is going if we just keep saying it enough over and over again eventually they will have to let us in. And in the meantime you look like total d-bags in the process for something that is never going to work. It's laughable and pathetic.
