All in good time. I feel it will be sooner rather than later (once the news hits you can come on over to the App State board aNd Join me in my argument on there that southern miss has history/tradition).

Don’t waste your time, the move makes too much sense for some to comprehend.

Not our fault that We’re the only one who appears to have a competent commissioner in all of this

Who would have expected those words to be used to describe the SBC commissioner 6 months ago when we were all wondering if Gill was a real person since no one had ever seen him.

You say competent. I say dragging his feet and letting a desperate Mike Aresco influence his next move.

I wouldn't say dragging his feet. If Marshall is waiting to see if they make the AAC cut, Gill can't MAKE them accept an offer to the SBC. Its obvious hes been proactive, or at least seemed proactive, which is all we can ask.

Seems at this point that the AAC is probably Marshall's if they want it. And that decision keeps getting tougher and tougher...

Takes 2 to tango. If schools want to wait on AAC before accepting, we can’t force them to sign on

. . . More like “taking a prudent approach.” Despite what we may think and/or want to believe, there is still a pecking order in this process. And perhaps he knows that any potential invitees are going to “beg off” until it becomes clear to them that any other perceived (upward) avenue has been closed off . . ..

Not hardly. AD's are currently meeting. They aren't talking about office decor.

AAc Lite can have as many teams as they want, just probably not the qualities they would like.

Okay, are you poking fun at AppDiesel for complaining about Gill, or are you alluding to a certain black and gold school in the southern part of the Magnolia state coming to join the Funbelt?

I'll save you the time. He says he has contacts on the Marshall BOG.

So it's hearsay...

Great. No sources. At least by his definition of what a source is for others.

I'm fairly plugged in, and I highly doubt he's heard Marshall to the AAC from a member of the BOG. Frankly, I'd have heart it. If he has, that's significant, but things are EXTREMELY quiet at Marshall about conference affiliation.

I actually think Marshall is a better compromise candidate for the AAC than some others, but there's nothing concrete to indicate that we are as in play there as UAB.

Fan of coming to the Belt when and if the AAC tells us no. I can see the Belt being a better long-term landing spot due to stability, but the AAC's media exposure is too much to pass up in the short run.

Depends on what definition of a bird is

(UTSA) Roadrunner - Definitely a bird by all definitions. Not black and gold.

(North Texas) Mean Green - A color in honor of Steelers great Mean Joe Green. However, the helmet & logo is a falcon or eagle or something. Arguably a bird by some definitions. Not black and gold.

(Rice) Owls - Definitely a bird by all definitions. Not black and gold.

(Southern Miss) Eagles - Definitely a bird by all definitions. Black and gold.

(UAB) Blazers - Could be a bird if you you're imaginative since it has wings. Gold, but not black.

(FAU) Owls - See Rice.

That's pretty much it for any candidate who could remotely be interpreted as a bird.

You're as clear as mud, chiefsfan.
