Timing is everything. Gotta give the mustangs credit, they did beat ranked Louisville. The rest of the schedule is about as soft an ACC schedule as you could put together.
I'd say Army is the most successful team to transition to the Power 5. Undefeated even.
SMU has donor commitment that makes P2 powers jealous. Like having a billionaire pro sports owner who doesn’t care about revenue, just winning. Their ascent should be no surprise.
Bwhahaha. Nice try. AAC is not "Power" anything.
Still can’t get Dallas metro buy-in. A pro sports (and UT/A&M) town. Maybe that will change with a bunch of 10-win seasons in the ACC, maybe not.Their donors are sone of the wealthiest in Texas and the USA. And they actually care about sports. But they still have a surprisingly empty stadium.
If they were smart they would change the conference name from the AAC to the Power 6 conference, or better yet, the Power 5 conference.View attachment 104511
"Read the wall, buddy! We are power six!!"
That's some Aresco level thinking!If they were smart they would change the conference name from the AAC to the Power 6 conference, or better yet, the Power 5 conference.
Taking a page from Kathy Griffin, who named her book during the Oprah heyday "Book Club Pick"If they were smart they would change the conference name from the AAC to the Power 6 conference, or better yet, the Power 5 conference.
Tough for private schools who have more alums that go elsewhere as opposed to settling locally.Still can’t get Dallas metro buy-in. A pro sports (and UT/A&M) town. Maybe that will change with a bunch of 10-win seasons in the ACC, maybe not.
Spell-check! Should be MW.Big fall for ME.

Look at that! They can't even spell power correctly!View attachment 104511

Their only sin was getting caught.It's not surprising that SMU would do well in the NIL era, they invented NIL over 40 years ago.
"We will put the six right in there with the word power! If that doesn't convince them, I don't know what will!"Look at that! They can't even spell power correctly!
I think he left the position of AAC Commissioner. That's too bad. I wanted mail him a 5x7 UConn Husky logo with a tiny hidden camera just so I can his reaction when he opens the envelope and sees the logoView attachment 104511

Well, don't be a dick then. he yanked us around pretty consistently and giving away the rights to UConn women's basketball basketball to ESPN plus was the straw that broke the camels back.I think he left the position of AAC Commissioner.

I remember he was really angry when UConn left the AAC.

During the height of Pony Express, 1982, they had 3 crowds with <35k at Texas Stadium and 2 games >50k, Texas A&M and #9 Arkansas. They never drew fans unless the other school brought them. The ACC will regret adding SMU, but they were willing to take $0 media dollars and added Texas as a home market for the ACCN.This.
At their height of popularity (early 1980's with the Pony Express. Regularly sold our Texas stadium-the Cowboys home) the crowds were there because it was an event. That SMU was the host was merely incidental.
They were in a lot of ways similar to Georgetown basketball of that era. It was a fad, nearly all who went to the games had little connection to the school beyond living reasonably close to the professional sports venue where the college team in question played. Without a winning product that also has some "it crowd" appeal it is nearly impossible for the school to draw fans.
