I think that some are missing the point of being in a conference for football.....money. There is more money to be had by being in a football conference than being an independent. It also provides some stability if you go through a few down years. Teams like Texas could make it as an independent ...

With the AAC moving its headquarters to Dallas (from Providence) in two years, would UMass make the list of football teams that they would like to add to their conference?

I know that the AAC probably seemed like the most natural move for the football team to go into a conference, but the ...

weird that they list Temple on the A ...

the at South Carolina then schedule the FCS game at McGuirk is an interesting option.

I wonder if the plan is to compete for a MAC title/possible bowl game in 2015, hoping that helps secure a future league invite, then you punt/rebuild in 2016 and be battle tested for 2017 and compete for a bowl ...

we only have Oct 22 and Nov 12 as open dates right now. South Carolina already has a late non-conference (rivalry) game vs. Clemson in Nov. would the SEC schedule allow them to play on one of those dates? Any chance we could play on Aug 25th as a season kick-off game?

As always, winning changes everything, and I think we have reason for optimism on that front....assuming we can schedule teams to play.

sorry Chris20 I have to completely disagree with you on this one. Winning doesn't change everything. A team can pop up an win for one season and that doesn't ...

thanks for the kind words preecher....

probably too early to speculate but i've heard Pitt come up as a possible landing place. Not sure that I believe it, I think someone is just making a connection to an ACC school that has a former UMass assistant that coached DG (Marlon Williamson).

Best of ...

how is he eligible? did he finish his degree and going to transfer as a grad student?

at the game last night, huge win for the Minutemen, I got a little sad that it might be the last time i see these seniors play in person.

as for the review time out, the monitor at the table wasn't working so two of the refs went back to the scoreboard production room....i've never ever heard of ...

i'll be at the game against Duquesne, anyone else in the Pittsburgh area going to be at the game?

I will be at the game with a fellow board poster....my boss is coming to and he is an OU alum. He was going over their game notes today. They haven't hosted a ranked team since they played Kentucky in 97-98.

I think the plan is to hit up court st before the game (and hopefully after) where is ...

yes you still need to take a plane to miami from PR but i'm guessing that there are a lot more frequent/less expensive flights then going from PR to Manhattan, KS

what about killing two birds with one stone and going after a school like Marshall, get them to join the MAC for football and the A-10 for all other sports?

everyone knows their football history, and they aren't the strongest basketball program but it's one school that falls into the middle of the ...
