Why can’t they give the incoming teams a chance? Give the new teams a few years to increase their financial focus on all the sports. With the added revenue from the media deal from the AAC, they will be able to increase their spending and therefore attract better athletes and therefore rise in ability and rankings.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the UAB love. Can’t wait to be a part of the AAC.

All it takes is a little friction and the true feelings of CUSA members come to the surface. UAB fans really think they are superior to Memphis. A North Texas State fan really believes they are better positioned than SMU.

Football - average rank for past three seasons (Per Massey)
SMU...............43
Memphis.........45

UAB................61
FAU................74
UTSA..............79
Charlotte.......104
Rice..............109
N Tx St.........109

Basketball - average rank for past three seasons (Per Massey)
Memphis.........35
SMU...............65

N Tx St...........75
UAB..............105
Charlotte.......140
FAU..............179
Rice..............202
UTSA............230

Wishful thinking will not alter cold reality. The new invites range from decent to horrible in football and basketball. In sum, an evaluation yields they add nothing to little to the AAC and the AAC will very likely erode from their "best of the rest" position.

Finally, the primary causes of Memphis improvement in football was renewed focus and hiring better coaches which occurred while members of CUSA. The payoff was later in the AAC.



I stated that SMU couldn't pry away UNT's basketball coach. That is a fact, not a claim of superiority.

Memphis is routinely listed a top 30ish program. Here are examples:

Meanwhile, despite UAB being the best of the sorry lot, they still bring little to the table.

Fair enough.

Are the following true or false.

1. North Texas State is superior to SMU in football and basketball?

2. North Texas State adds sufficient value to replace the departed three?

3. North Texas State is lately miserable in football?

4. Will the AAC - due to the quality (or lack there of) of the new adds - likely descend from its present perch?

Neither of our universities have carried the "State" in our name since the 1980's.

RE: Off-Season Topic: Evaluating the C-USA6
Personally, I will never think UAB is superior to Memphis until we start cheating and don't get caught. Until then, Memphis fans are allowed to have a superiority complex over UAB or any other non cheating program.

Truth be told, when I was trolling this board with "UAB is a lock to join the AAC" and "when is New Program Orientation" I thought UAB would be the only CUSA school joining.

UAB claims superiority over no AAC school.

Hey, we’re 2-0 against Tulane since the return 05-stirthepot

Look forward to joining the conference, despite the criticism from some on here.

RE: Off-Season Topic: Evaluating the C-USA6
Personally, I think UAB is the best addd given it's location, history with teams in the conference, and recent success. Then FAU and UTSA seem to have a lot of upside. I expect FAU to surpass USF (not a dig at USF just think FAU has a lot going for it given it's facilities and success). UNT also has a lot of potential but has yet to capitalize on it. I wouldn't be excited about Rice or Charlotte, but at least those are nice cities to visit. I expect Memphis and SMU to be top dogs in the new AAC.

I have to get back to a project I'm working on for the UNT athletic department. I'll check back tomorrow. Have a good evening.

Let's recap:

1. The true intent of the tread is polishing the image of incoming CUSA schools. How do I know? a. You solicit opinion from AAC members and then proceed to comment and trumpet retention of a coach wanted by SMU. b. You mention "perceived weakness" which implies the problems existing AAC members have are not real.

2. You say you value truth and yet you have "no clue" about: a. your school's dreadful recent football performance despite evidence presented, b. SMU's superiority in football and basketball despite evidence presented, and c. your school's lack of value in replacing the departed three. Your reply is disingenuous which indicates you know the truth but fear to state it.

3. You write: "I haven't stooped to using negative labels for Memphis, or mentioned any of your university's recent alleged indiscretions", but you actually did "stoop" by the very sentence you penned. LOL.

4. You are a guest. Your school is not an AAC member. It is rude for a guest to lecture or mock AAC posters or proclaim superiority in any aspect.

Nevertheless, I offer an olive branch. I will delete my negative rep. It will be interesting and telling if you choose to reciprocate.

Are the following true or false.

1. North Texas State is superior to SMU in football and basketball?

2. North Texas State adds sufficient value to replace the departed three?

3. North Texas State is lately miserable in football?

4. Will the AAC - due to the quality (or lack there of) of the new adds - likely descend from its present perch?

1. No clue. We are the University of North Texas
2. No clue. We are the University of North Texas
3. No clue. We are the University of North Texas
4. The AAC had no options that would keep the conference from taking a hit after Cincinnati, Houston, & UCF left for the Big12.

Neither of our universities have carried the "State" in our name since the 1980's.

You reveal your pretensions, thanks. You do not know if your school is lousy in FB recently when in this very thread your school ranked 109th! 03-lmfao

BTW, I neg repped you (the only one that exists in all my years posting) because you are a rude guest.

I know exactly where UNT's athletic programs are and what we need to do to improve them. I just see no reason to answer disrespectful slights. I haven't stooped to using negative labels for Memphis, or mentioned any of your university's recent alleged indiscretions. I try to keep my comments respectful and focused on the positive aspects of our future.

But, I'd love to know how I've been "rude". No other AAC fans have felt the need to call me out for my comments in this thread, or negative rep any of my comments. Not even any of the SMU fans.

I have to get back to a project I'm working on for the UNT athletic department. I'll check back tomorrow. Have a good evening.

Let's recap:

1. The true intent of the tread is polishing the image of incoming CUSA schools. How do I know? a. You solicit opinion from AAC members and then proceed to comment and trumpet retention of a coach wanted by SMU. b. You mention "perceived weakness" which implies the problems existing AAC members have are not real.

2. You say you value truth and yet you have "no clue" about: a. your school's dreadful recent football performance despite evidence presented, b. SMU's superiority in football and basketball despite evidence presented, and c. your school's lack of value in replacing the departed three. Your reply is disingenuous which indicates you know the truth but fear to state it.

3. You write: "I haven't stooped to using negative labels for Memphis, or mentioned any of your university's recent alleged indiscretions", but you actually did "stoop" by the very sentence you penned. LOL.

4. You are a guest. Your school is not an AAC member. It is rude for a guest to lecture or mock AAC posters or proclaim superiority in any aspect.

Nevertheless, I offer an olive branch. I will delete my negative rep. It will be interesting and telling if you choose to reciprocate.

I think you're being an *******. He obviously was saying "no clue" because he took offense to you incorrectly naming his school. Or are you that thick that you couldn't tell that is what he was doing with the constant repetition of that phrase?

Honestly, UNT has not entered my mind much until recently, but nevertheless it is my mistake and I apologize.

Regardless, the poster had and still has an opportunity to correct “misrepresenting the truth” - the words he used to accuse me. Answer the questions.

Expansion was required but the quantity selected (eg, 6 vs 3) and the schools invited are not in the best interest of the existing AAC members. Clearly, Appy St makes more sense than UNT, for example.

It's a joke isn't it? Student section + upper deck would be about 20K. 03-lmfao

What I really want to know is why SIX??? And especially how did UNT get in as close to SMU as they are.
