Tarleton to WAC

[ASURAM2010]

One of the best schools in the country. Especially for healthcare administration. Top 3 nationally.

[LSC Fan]

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

But some of those conferences field good basketball teams. And that is why they have FCS football so they can get the checks from the TV revenue and of course the chance to go through March madness or the NIT.

I am not cheating...

Montana State, Montana, Idaho, Idaho State

James Madison, William & Mary, Delaware (?)

Nc A&T, Florida A&M, Bethune-Cookman

NDSU, Southern Illinois, Illinois State

Oh crap...ummm, Central Conn St,

Eastern Ky, Jax St, Austin Peay

Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette

E Tenn St, W Caro, Wofford

Drake, Butler, San Diego

Campbell, Gardner-Webb, Charleston Southern

PVA&M, Tx Southern, Alabama St

How'd I do? Northeast kicked my tail

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

I could. Easily. But I'm not an average fan. I could tell you most of their nicknames and colors too.

Sorry to burst your bubble. The SLC is a regional conference that the majority of the country could not name three schools in the conference.

Something is afoot I hope. I was looking at past histories of conference alignment for LSC schools like WT. Border Conference and Missouri Valley. ACU was Southland twice and an Independent for 7 years from late 50's till they joined Southland in the mid 60"s. Never knew that. Northern Colorado, Northern Arizona, Southern Utah (which has a recent history of playing Texas FCS schools) and others as FCS football conference with a western slant makes sense. NMSU would go FCS if legislature in Santa Fe dictates they play UNM every year despite affiliation. Basketball is a problem though. The ACU poster may know something because ACU has played Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado and has a series coming up with Southern Utah. The difference in time zones is a killer though. Number one complaint of TCU in the Mountain West.
I love the LSC and it's history but you do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. SLC schools have much more national name ID by the way. That doesn't mean you need to join them but SFA barley losing to Notre Dame in sweet 16, Nichols beating Big 12 schools, just to name a few. Come on man.
Tarleton beating SFA, not a national story even though they can compete right now in SLC. You don't want to go to Thibodaux La. if you can help it except to eat.

[Techster88]

Chicago State and UM - Kansas City don't know what to do with all of the national PR they've gotten as WAC members!

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

He sounds very vague in all his answers. Not straight at all. I dislike that immensely.

Tarleton should have company REAL soon. No doubt WT is the next to go.

Yeah, WT will go back to D1 when Barron Trump is President.

Reisman is one of the best politicians ever and he doesn't get enough credit for it.
