[QUOTE=gruesome;All of the TSU fans should be banging on Glasgow's door about now trying to get him to re-allow A&M to call Tarleton "Texas A&M - Stephenville" .... [/QUOTE]

Hell Nah !!!

At least now all the GNAC schools can breathe a sigh of relief that Tarleton is leaving and they won't be exposed to one of those beat downs that AP took last year with the new conference scheduling.

Trinity actually tied for the SLC Football Championship in 1971 with Louisiana Tech. Buffdad is a genius.

Now don't go comparing the rest of the country to Louisiana, that's just rude for the rest of the country!

At least they have Cajun food.

You're either BCS or you aren't. If no one has heard of Tarleton it's not because of the division they're in but because they haven't accomplished a lot.

Brandon's well-timed wisdom in this thread is a breath of fresh air.

The same could be said about most of the FCS conferences. Unless one has an affiliation to the schools, the average college football fan (much less the country) couldn't name 3 schools from the FCS conferences without looking them up. Seriously, without looking them up, who could name 3 schools from the following:

Big Sky Conference
Colonial Athletic Conference
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference
Missouri Valley Conference
Northeast Conference
Ohio Valley Conference
Patriot League
Pioneer League
Southern Conference
SWAC

Teams? H3ll I can name 3 FCS conferences! LMFAO.

Exactly. I'll bet most people haven't heard of NWMSU, Grand Valley, Valdosta, etc even with their success in D2 Football. Heck, there's people from Louisiana that have never heard of their FCS schools (Nicholls St, McNeese St). All they know is Geaux Tigers.

Now don't go comparing the rest of the country to Louisiana, that's just rude for the rest of the country!

Ha!! I was talking football. More people across the country will actually know Tarleton exists.

Can i get one?

? I'm also interested

[Boohaha]

Buffdad seems like the type that would be happy with one of these.

['89HOG]

You get awarded today's participation award. Do you want a ribbon or one of those cheap imported from China plastic trophy things?

The WAC still has memories of being a quality basketball conference.

... and we still have memories of being a national powerhouse in football for 40 years. What's that worth in today's world?
