You will not be disappointed in the San Antonio Tex-Mex. They do it better than anyone down there.

You will, however, be setting yourself up for disappointment at San Antonio-area Hooters

Is Dick's Last Resort still hopping on the Riverwalk?

To my knowledge it is. Live in the Houston area now, but I know it’s still open for business on the River Walk.

For ECU folks:
1. I'll be staying with a friend in Raleigh and driving over on game day. Is it about a 90-minute drive between Raleigh and Greenville?
2. What's the parking situation around the stadium?

1) Yes - depending on what part of Raleigh.

2) There are tons of places to park around the stadium. Lots of people sell spots in their yards/driveways around the stadium... there is also TONS of free street parking (I always try N. Overlook if I don't have a parking pass) within a few blocks of Dowdy-Ficklen.
1) From the north side.
2) Will the parking situation be different since it is a Thursday night game?

Future members will compose 43% of the new AAC, but derived 58% of posts in this thread.

Percent by school:
Charlotte (27.5%)
ECU (20%)
FAU (10%)
SMU (8.8%)
Rice (7.5%)
UAB (6.3%)
Temple (5%)
Memphis (3.8%)
Navy (3.8%)
UTSA (3.8%)
No Tx (2.5%)
USF (1.3%)

Percentage does not equal 100 due to rounding. Also, I excluded posts derived by outgoing members and non-AAC schools.

You seem to short on UNT posters, so I'll add this observation....

It appears this new scheduling format gives every program at least one road game in Texas every season. I wonder if that was part of Aresco's plan when he added so many Texas programs.

1) Should still be 90 minutes, give or take a couple. Maybe less.
2) Definitely should be ample parking around the stadium, unless you show up like 30 minutes or so before kick-off. Come early, get a great spot, and many Pirate fans will offer you beverages and food if you're wearing SMU gear.

This proves that the newbies are excited and the memphoids are bummed.

And the corollary, why travel anywhere if the riverwalk is right there in your backyard.

I think the party line is "evolution of the Triple Option."

Newberry hired the Kenesaw State OC, Grant Chesnut. Chesnut comes from the Paul Johnson coaching tree, so the foundation is still the same, but it will be somewhat different. From the OC hire, we were saying that the TO is the core of our success and we can't win without it, and we're not going away from it, just updating it. Spring camp statements talked about it being a new install and 2/3 new -- so from the get-go, 1/3 still the same. There will be more shotgun, but probably still at least 50% from under center.
The focus will be on different ways to get the ball outside with a numbers advantage. Maybe with formations and misdirection, maybe with quick passes. We are now fully adopting Tight Ends as part of the offense...but we already started that last year, like actually calling players TEs instead of just moving our tall receivers in on tight formations.
Navy fans would always have said 10-12 pass attempts per game is "right" -- and we frequently had really high yards per attempt numbers. Keep the defense honest, but we always liked big gains on the wheel route or A-back Pop. Chesnut's KSU offense averaged like 17 passes per game, so more, but not Mumme-esque.
Even the under center vs shotgun -- we were already moving that way. Sometimes to really mix it up for an Army or Air Force game, sometimes just to play to the strengths of Malcolm Perry or Xavier Arline (or to a lesser extent Tai Lavatai).
Other changes are a reflection that the new blocking rules for backs/receivers force the change -- let's just do it intentionally instead of reactively in-game.

It’ll be an NFL offense. Shot gun offense with no running backs. All throwing all the time. Fastest receivers the navy recruiters can find.

Thanks, I plan to get there early enough to see a bit of the campus before the game. I just hope the weather in mid-October will still be good.
