Bring back the Aeropostale football uniforms!
These are the types of things that really show this is mostly a good ole boys club. SMU ain't delivering no goshdarn Dallas market.
I feel SMU has two purposes. Get the ACC into a second time zone/new cable boxes and get the ACC into a massive football recruiting ground. They have no other purpose.
Smu won’t deliver the recruiting ground either. That is so overstated.
Except they could have and never did. This just has the feel of a pick up basketball game, where we are the last ones to get called and the captain is looking around and sees a grandma on the bench and asks her to play rather than ask us.
Disagree. It helps expand for all existing ACC members. Nebraska lost its recruiting ways moving from the B12 to the B1G- Texas gone/program down.
You know why they didn’t- because the ACC internally has conflicting vision. They are not unified.
Well they f u n k’d up because they waited too long and all that is left is Granny.
No it doesn't. Not in a state with 6 P4 teams. The ACC will never crack Texas, which is why they never bothered with Houston. Houston was there for the taking all along and is much better than SMU (it's also technically on the Atlantic coast). This SMU thing is nonsense, they will probably end up with the PAC schools.
A state with 29MM people that added the equivalent of nearly 3 entire CTs in 20 years. A state that is madly in love with football at the HS level. SMU might not happen for many reasons, but there is no denying it is on the table. Now it might get kicked off the table today after this ACC meeting, but for this week it has been a thing.
Which part?
"Technically on the Atlantic coast." Pretty sure it's considered Gulf Coast.Which part?
I don't know if it's on the table, I simply know that if you walk into a sports bar in Texas, it will be tuned to SEC and Big XII games, no matter what. SMU isn't changing that, whether in the American, ACC or New PAC.
Of course not. No one has realistic goals to achieve that.
Nebraska used to load up on recruits; that was their method. They used to dress 130 kids. No other school in the country was like that. I don't really know how they bypassed the 85 recruit limit, but that's how it was before entering the B1G
Instate Nebraska kids got free tuition, and their OL were all big farm boys from their instate walk on program. Nebraska HS football eventually faded due to numbers and now i believe most HSs just have 7 on 7.
Yes but The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean
As a fan of the old Big 8 and a Nebraska fan, the reality is that the game changed. Those schools all featured dominant running games at their best. They had incredible OL talent from those local boys and got RBs from all over. The plains are windy, which is one reason why the Big 8 evolved to mostly avoid passing the ball and play great defense. As it all shifted to a passing game, Nebraska could never keep up. Even when they had some success somewhat more recently, the QBs ran the ball, like Eric Crouch.
