Nice

awesome, they are supposed to be good, as in Top 25-30 good

too bad CRS can't do the same with Jimbo Fisher

Remember the Alamodome!

Welcome back Landers Nolley…
Hate he’s no longer a Tiger.

Is Nolley going to A&M?

Might have jumped the gun there… I thought I had read he was going to A&M to play for Buzz Williams, who originally recruited him at Va Tech. Maybe that was just a visit.

It was definitely reported he was headed to A&M.

Maybe it was because he wasn't physically in peak form but I wasn't convinced he was all that last season. If he was hurting then it was understandable that he didn't perform as well as he might have. Not a personal knock on him, just an observation that may well be wrong but he just didn't seem to have it as compared to the season prior.

Nice scheduling! Love it! As our conference loses pundit street cred, we need to schedule solid OOC teams. Love this!

Agree. This is a really nice series to pickup. And I don’t mind scheduling the local SEC schools but it is nice to play one that isn’t local to us.

Schedule every strong team that will play us.

Losing to Georgia and Mississippi (tribute to Coach X) this year hurt. But I'm still glad we played them. Just have to play better.

Schedule them, beat them!

Agreed...

Gotta take the Gonzaga route, especially after next year when we lose top teams and gain bottom teams.

too bad CRS can't do the same with Jimbo Fisher

Wouldn’t Laird Veatch be responsible for both, at least typically?

I think we should approach Houston and Cincy about nonconference games after next season. UCF can eat a richard.

The Gonzaga route: Be elite for 25 years until you eventually get a proverbial seat at the big table.

doubt it with hoops

plus I think he's really busy looking for opportunities elsewhere

Recent years, UNT has been better than Cincy. And UAB is historically better than UCF. I wouldn't call either of those top teams.
Problem is Sampson's Houston is gone - THE top team - and we are adding some anchors in the other 4 programs.

Perception effects rankings so much, despite the BS that is fed regarding rankings and ranking systems. Losing teams like Houston and Cincy hurts, badly. UAB and UNT are playing decent ball, but they don't move the needle. Beating them doesn't look good on a resume. Have to add solid OOC schools.

Side note: How was Houston so highly ranked last year? Glad they were. But my point is rankings are mostly a sham.

Our conference is likely a 1-bid conference next year.
