Frankly the WAC would be a huge downgrade in all sports and no offense to the Tarleton peeps but we wouldnt want to give up being conferencemates with Louisiana, Arkansas St, GSU, APP, GS, Troy, USA, and Coastal for Tarleton.

Lol...I see no difference between Tarleton (as-is) and half the teams in the Sun Belt. You will have a very hard time convincing me Louisiana-Monroe, Arkansas State and South Alabama are head and shoulders above the 2nd largest institution in the Texas A&M System. And let us not forget it wasn't that long ago we had Southwest Texas State getting kicked around in the Southland Conference, after spending 50 years in D2 with the Lone Star Conference. And ask yourself, who is the real geographical outlier in the Sun Belt? Yes, you bobbie cats just might be in for a "huge downgrade" with Tarleton in the WAC before you know it. I really hope Texas State and Tarleton find a way to play each other soon. Just might be an eye opener for ya.

Look I'm sorry I hurt your feelings but the fact that it would be a downgrade is a fact.

Now you think we're going to rejoin the WAC? wow....

Opinion. Not fact.

You didn't make it about the conference, you specifically said playing in a league with Tarleton would be a "huge downgrade". I disagree, and there are facts to support it. Never forget where you came from, bobbie cat.

I literally said "the WAC would be" a downgrade. You even bolded it. It just so happens yall are now in that league, but my bad for singling yall out. I do want yall to do good, yall are practically my family school.

What facts do you have? Conference RPIs?

we wouldnt want to give up being conferencemates with Louisiana, Arkansas St, GSU, APP, GS, Troy, USA, and Coastal for Tarleton.

Yes, you are correct, I bolded the wrong offensive remark. None of those schools, outside of App State, Troy and maybe Ark St, really offer anything worth travelling halfway across the country for. Tarleton is right in TXST's backyard, and would put butts in seats.
