Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....

Oh well, the conference isn't going to pick Colorado State anyway, even if they pick 4 schools in the mountain and pacific time zones, they're 5th at best, maybe even 6th.

[Kat Kid]

If this shitty conference is going to forge ahead then we might as well get one relatively close glorious roadie out of it.  Bring in CSU.

This has always been my outlook. I truly don't give a eff if Colorado State has trash fan support or is a bad program or whatever. At this point as we scrape the bottom of the barrel and cling to the edge of the cliff knowing that eventually we'll drop, I just want one fun place to go watch the Cats play. Waco ain't it. Lubbock ain't it. Houston ain't it. Orlando is gross. Memphis is whack. Give me Ft. Collins, Boise, or Provo (close to Salt Lake City). We need one city that has something other than disgusting flat land.


*edit* I guess we still technically have Morgantown which is a truly glorious roadie, but I've been there a couple times so I'd like another mountainous place.

Houston is fun.

Personally I’d love Colorado State, but I can see why it won’t & shouldn’t happen.

I hope we end up doing some home/home or 2-for-1s with some MW teams though. I could see a Wyoming or Utah State 2-for-1 or a home/home with UNLV or SDSU. We still need to play games at that level, like Nevada this year, but we won’t be able to afford to just pay them for a home game. We’ve already set up a 2-for-1 with Tulane.

This is interesting, since also heard on other podcasts that this round of realignment is about eyes watching games and not locations.  The new ways fans watch games is not dominated by cable but more so by streaming.  So get teams that want and invest in football and provide competition.  We may get large streaming contracts along with Fox/ESPN, CBS, NBC and also a conference network.

Yea the tier 3 stuff was just another example of Texas being a shitty partner.  New contract can likely get more collectively by selling combined tier 3 rights. Big 12 will have to be on the bleeding edge of distribution and get creative to minimize the impact on total revenue.  Have heard the idea of selling naming rights to the conference as an additional revenue stream.

At first I didn't like the idea of going to 16, the way that they are saying it would stop any of the G5 from bring teams to the CFP and in turn keep the Big XII/VI in the CFP every year.  This also should give us a large quantity of games to be played at times other conferences couldn't match.   I love the smell of cash$$$$$$$$!

alfalfa green and pumpkin orange, damn. they are putting our aggie credentials to shame.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I also think Utah State might be worth looking at over BYU. Not sold on that idea like I am CSU, though.

Isn’t @sys an Aggie of the USU kind?

We need to be the bold aggy that makes this happen.

Beautiful, and there's a slight resemblance to Anderson Hall.  Not sure what's going on with the foil in the windows though...

  now you're wildin'

[Rage Against the McKee]

Does BYU even allow visiting fans to consume alcohol at their tailgate?

[Rage Against the McKee]

I looked it up and they don't. Damn, that sucks.

Cincy, BYU, Memphis, UCF.  Geography is already screwed up because of WVU, so what the hell.  If we want to sub in Boise for Memphis, that's fine, i don't care.  But Cincy and BYU are absolutely no brainers, and I think UCF is pretty darn close too.
