Line up and beat the snot out of whoever we play. The rest will take care of itself.

FWIW the only team we play home and home this year in conference will be MTSU unless something has changed.

I understand the talk about A&M-Bama this year, I was merely pointing out that just because it is being talked about doesn't mean anything is being taken away from that rivalry. The teams could both be 0-11, and that would still be a huge game to each school. And as far as most appealing, again, no chance it is AU-UA. I'm still trying to determine where the Florida talk is coming from. I'll let you guys know if I find anything.

True, but ECU is gone after this season, aren't they? Surely CUSA isn't letting them park their non-revenue (including ECU basketball) in our conference.

All sports for ECU will be gone from CUSA.

I was speaking for this upcoming year. The deck is reshuffled for future seasons.
