I wonder why no posts from women’s tennis, women’s golf, women’s beach volleyball and men’s golf?

Summit or MVC. No more MVFC. But it’s probably just “we’re an Addidas school” now.
No way it’s the Southland. Would we stoop that low? Dear Lord, it’s gonna be the Southland. Geaux Texans I guess.

My guess is new uniforms.

A couple tweets showed Nike gear.

Doesn't tennis and golf wear polos, caps or visors? Prime sports for gear companies. Plus like I said elsewhere, you can see the Nike logo on a couple of the teams they posted.

MAC Brown's latest WAC article seemed to indicate that the current members had signed a 2 year agreement to stay put and work together for now, so don't think it is a conference move. I guess they could shock everyone but it would be an expensive move. I don't think they would announce a later move this far out. I would go with a gear change.

Well here it is…..

Happy for you guys. Texans do us proud!

Congrats Tarleton!

”Big Announcement" = Big Whoop.

I guess I'm glad it wasn't something even less riveting like a freaking apparel change. Actually, Nike has been really good for Tarleton. Just ask TCU.

No, but you can say all that transition stuff is officially behind you.

I’m assuming you’re aware of and referring to the fact that Tarleton State uses TCU’s hand-me-down pants, removing the Horned Frog logo (still very noticeable) from old pairs, ironing the Texans’ logo over it, and then sending it to Stephensville. Nike material, indeed, does stand the test of time.

Congratulations. I think being eligible for the NCAA tournament *IS* a big deal.

Welcome to D1, you certainly deserve it. With the other announced plan of the core members of the WAC agreeing to stay put for a year or two, I hope things can quickly clear up and something stable is the result, whether that is the WAC, something else, or something new. You are our neighbor down the road and we both need some clarity and stability in a conference. My big question is can the WAC work out for us with a commissioner who seems too unaware of football, and that is a big question. We need a step up in quality in the WAC leadership. Secretly, I wish our other friend, you know who, would start football back up.

Unfortunately I don't think that will happen. Each new administration seems uninterested

Well, even if true, that was a bit snarky. It's not like your guys never got orange hand-me-downs.
