I think Tarleton would struggle to win the Southland now, and never would have if they’d joined earlier. I mean, you guys lost to the worst McNeese team in years, a McNeese team that proceeded to lose to Incarnate Word, SLU and Lamar. Embarrassing!


I knew you weren’t playing a full deck of cards from some of your earlier posts but now I know your elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top. Tarleton would have a winning record even in transition over that weak watered down tea competition. Lay off the crack pipe Is distorting your already skewed thinking.
You can’t talk like this after losing to this year’s McNeese team. A team that went 2-4 otherwise. A team ineligible to even make the playoffs. A team that lost to ******* Lamar. You just can’t.

I’ll be generous and say you’d beat HBU, especially without Zappe and Ratslaff. But the HBU team that nearly beat Texas Tech and beat Eastern Kentucky is putting a beatdown on a weak division two squad that seems to think they’re an important piece in an also-ran FCS conference.

No chance Tarleton beats Nicholls, UIW, Southeastern Louisiana.

Wishful thinking on your part. Tarleton unlike those broke schools will fund the 63 scholarships. We are just getting started. Only a fool would cast their lot with those have nots.

As stated before, your University Admin is light years ahead of a dunderhead such as yourself stuck in neutral. Thus, welcome to the WAC. Like it or not. Swallow that bitter horse pill and stomach it because other than flapping your jaws there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Next
I was all for leaving the Southland if it meant a step up to the ASUN. This is a step backwards in every sense but basketball. You can dump on those Louisiana schools all you want, but they field solid athletic programs at the FCS level. Oh, and they’d blow out Tarleton.

Sorry, before this year I didn’t know your school existed. I don’t want to play sports against lower echelon A&M system schools. It is a bitter pill to swallow. Where is Stevenville again?

Right next to the biggest state prison. You can see the campus from the guards lookout towers. I hope this helps.

I’m fairly confident more people have heard of Sam Houston State than New Mexico State. After all, one was in front of MILLIONS of eyes this spring on abc TWICE as well as espn. The other is the “make-a-wish” kid of college football and lost to Tarleton.

Like I said, didn’t realize you still played football until the Texas 4 joined to save your school’s goofy, far flung conference.

Idk about that one man. I grew up like 2 hours from SHSU and the only reason I knew they existed was because they hosted our regional track meet. Im sure the same could be said for TXST though.

If I were the WAC, particularly NMSU, I'd be keeping an eye on these dominoes at the top.

A Big 12 adding AAC and MWC members could open up a MWC slot for NMSU

We're finally moving towards our 16-team conferences (down to four leagues - Pac-16, B1G, ACC and SEC)... B1G adds Kansas/Iowa State as fellow AAU members; Pac-16 brings in some of the Big 12 leftovers (do they explore top brands in MWC? Nah, I think they prefer a Texas contingent as a unit from Big 12). Not sure what the ACC/Notre Dame does.

It all depends on what gets left behind in the Big 12.

If they have enough to rebuild to rebuild, the AAC and MWC schools will jump

FBS > FCS

NMSU has and always will have more visibility than SHSU. You joined us. Not the other way around. Facts…

You’re in denial. SHSU is by far the more visible school. 1.9 million people saw SHSU on TV this spring. 1.9 million people don’t even know NMSU exists.

We did join you, why do you think I’m so anti-WAC. We should want to join schools on our level, competitively and academically. Your school just doesn’t match up.

Academically... the WAC > SLC.

Only one of the Louisiana schools was on our level academically (New Orleans which is the second tier of the Louisiana academic tiers along with UL-Lafayette and La Tech; LSU is top tier); the other were the lowest tier.

Competitively... remains to be seen in football and I think there's potential there for growth, but certainly basketball where the $$$ is made, WAC > SLC.

"On our level"... all the public institutions are 11k+ in enrollment in the WAC... not including Chicago State. Southland schools, half are under 10k enrollment amongst public institutions. Amongst private schools, the WAC schools have much deeper endowments and all have bigger enrollments than HBU, and some of whom are bigger than UIW. And PS, look at whom SHSU considers its peer institutions - you wouldn't find any SLC schools in that mix.

Ahh. So you're a bigot. It's not about the WAC schools specifically. You just don't like the people, places, and things associated with them. Got it!

True no many people around the country know who NMSU is. That’s why I don’t act all snooty and snobby or have delusions of being this national name like you do with your school. Sams national championship was a great thing, no doubt, but to believe that anyone who isn’t a fan of an FCS school gives a damn about shows that you haven’t been outside of your Texas bubble in quite a while.

WAC Expansion/FCS - for real (Official Discussion Thread)
1. SammyH doesn’t speak for Sam or our fan base

2. Why are y’all engaging him? It’s clear that the poster is not interested in discussing the WAC, topics related to the WAC or it’s upcoming season or it’s members in a meaningful or engaging way. He just wants to crap on the league and it’s members because he didn’t get his way.

3. Where are the mods? Can we lock this thread? This discussion belongs in the trash talk thread. It’s clear this is about to become a crap shoot.

Imagine being a fan of an FCS school 99% of the country has never heard of and looking down your nose at an FCS school 99.1% of the country has never heard of.
I’m fairly confident more people have heard of Sam Houston State than New Mexico State. After all, one was in front of MILLIONS of eyes this spring on abc TWICE as well as espn. The other is the “make-a-wish” kid of college football and lost to Tarleton.

Like I said, didn’t realize you still played football until the Texas 4 joined to save your school’s goofy, far flung conference.

True no many people around the country know who NMSU is. That’s why I don’t act all snooty and snobby or have delusions of being this national name like you do with your school. Sams national championship was a great thing, no doubt, but to believe that anyone who isn’t a fan of an FCS school gives a damn about shows that you haven’t been outside of your Texas bubble in quite a while.

Ppl treat NDSU as less than and they have dominated for a while now but majority of fans of FBS think they are a joke/gimmick. I at least know the name of their home field for football.

A Big 12 adding AAC and MWC members could open up a MWC slot for NMSU

We're finally moving towards our 16-team conferences (down to four leagues - Pac-16, B1G, ACC and SEC)... B1G adds Kansas/Iowa State as fellow AAU members; Pac-16 brings in some of the Big 12 leftovers (do they explore top brands in MWC? Nah, I think they prefer a Texas contingent as a unit from Big 12). Not sure what the ACC/Notre Dame does.

There are strong economic arguments to be had for the B1G to stand pat and the Pac-12 to really have nobody to add that adds value to a TV contract.

It's possible that the remaining Big 12 schools are left behind. Even if I'd argue that, despite their football, Kansas would be a smarter add for the Pac than for B1G. Sometimes, it's not just the residential TV market. However, yes, there are reports of B1G and KU having a meeting about stuff.

3. Where are the mods? Can we lock this thread? This discussion belongs in the trash talk thread. It’s clear this is about to become a crap shoot.

I’m so glad you pointed this out, coochkat. I indeed do not speak for Sam. I know this may come as a shocker to some here, as I definitely take a diplomatic and academic approach to the discussions on this board. I definitely can see why some here would see me as some sort of univ. spokesperson.

Glad you cleared it up for them!

Once the group think mentality gets going, it just becomes one big glad handing, leg humping festival of the ONE approved opinion. If you have a mind or opinion of your own, look out.... They don't want to discuss the WAC with you, they want you to agree with them and back them up about how great it all is.

Let's review. You spew garbage about other schools. You agitate and anger posters with your shallow opinions that are not fact based. You say derogatory things about groups in general that borderlines racism and gross ignorance on your part. You act like a spoiled brat who in no way represents SH or any University for that matter. I played along with you for a while hoping you might see your arrogance and stupidity but you are too blind to see it. Nonetheless if this is your sole purpose then I would suggest others just not engage you. Maybe this will be a wake up call to you. Somehow I doubt it.
