Re: UT Tyler moving to D2 and LSC

How many of the D2 schools could come up with the budget to move to D1?

It aint happening in Commerce.

They must be selling a lot of cheap whiskey up in the Panhandle. This reads like the musings of a drunk buffalo.

If Lake Meredith water is used in the Distillery process, it is probably really bad tasting.

...

Purdue was 7-6 last year.

Perhaps you meant just in conference play? In which case 4-5 is still a really good team...

Correct. I should have stated Conference champion possibility playing in the MAC. Or at least state champion in Indiana. The Fighting Irish are not on the Broilermakers non conference schedule for a few years anyway.

Re: UT Tyler moving to D2 and LSC

I think a revamped WAC could be interesting. Here is a possible scenario with the GNAC collapsing and the LSC schools contemplating a move:

Angelo State University (San Angelo, TX)
Azusa Pacific University (Azusa, CA)
California Baptist (Riverside, CA)
Central Washington University (Ellensburg, WA)
Grand Canyon University (Phoenix, AZ)
University of Missouri-Kansas City (Kansas City, MO)
New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, NM)
Seattle University (Seattle, WA)
Tarleton State University (Stephenville, TX)
Texas A&M University Commerce (Commerce, TX)
Texas A&M University Kingsville (Kingsville, TX)
UT Rio Grande Valley (Edinburg, TX)
Utah Valley University (Orem, UT)
West Texas A&M University (Canyon, TX)

Football
Angelo State
Azusa Pacific
Central Washington
Tarleton State
Texas A&M Commerce
Texas A&M Kingsville
West Texas A&M
*NM State I assume would stay FBS*

Sounds like a great plan to salvage the current wacky WAC! I think it is a great idea! I wonder if the current WAC commissioner & the LSC, GNAC commissioners have seen this recommendation as well. It would be interesting to see what their comments would be.

Re: UT Tyler moving to D2 and LSC

To be fair, I have a lot of right-wing friends that are completely psycho.

Our country works best when we can meet in the middle and work together. (And have a little fun on a message board.)

Have a great weekend!

Re: UT Tyler moving to D2 and LSC

Yeah too bad I don't have a facebook account. I do enjoy reading others bragging about themselves, their travels, and their kids. It's mostly women. Posting selfies fishing for praise and compliments. It's like cocaine and needing another rock - whey they haven't gotten any "wow you're hot" comments in a couple days, it's time for a new selfie, this one a bit more provocative than the last.

I've figured out the fat chicks tend to do face selfies only, so that no one can see that they are in reality a beach ball with a head. Hey I've got no problem with fat people - I'm fat too - but I don't put out PR making it look like I'm a skinny, either.

Interesting times.

Those are referred to as "Iceberg Selfies", because 95% is hidden below the surface.

Re: UT Tyler moving to D2 and LSC

We should be friends on Facebook. You would have all of my left-wing, psycho friends going completely nuts with some of your play on words.

I like it!

I think you mean Broilermakers.

At least the Boilermakers would have a winning record in the MAC. Maybe.

Re: UT Tyler moving to D2 and LSC

That would be a miracle "if" for sure. WT leaving a viable D1 conference, going D2, and trying to get back to D1, would be akin to Purdue leaving the Big 10, going to the MAC, and then trying to get back in the Big 10.

Good luck with that.

Um.... no they didnt.

Oops! I forgot they went to the sunbelt for football! Ha! My bad! Really stepped in that one!
