Message: [QUOTE="mustangxc, post: 2065403, member: 7916"] Believe me, if anyone can understand your plight it is SMU fans. We were one of the premiere teams in one of the premiere college football conferences in the country and after the death penalty and breakup of the Southwest Conference have wandered through the desert ever since. Many of us have said ever since that our future lies in basketball and getting into the Big East which turned into the American along with the hiring of Larry Brown is the first sign of true hope in a long time. June Jones appeared to be our savior in football but he was too lazy to recruit. I think it is in UConn's best interest to stick it out in this conference in order to give football a chance to succeed. If SMU and Cincinnati can maintain or improve and UConn, Memphis, Temple and Houston can get back to being their historic levels this can be a fun conference. I know it will never be the SWC or the Big East but I hope our schools can make it work. [/QUOTE]
