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

2hr drive from my house is quite enticing. Bring on the Bearcats.

Welcome Latter-Day Aggie, Directional Aggie, Commuter Aggie and CincinnAggie.

Welcome Latter-Day Aggie, Directional Aggie, Commuter Aggie and CincinnAggie.

These name could cause confusion, because Cincy and UCF are commuter schools too, I think.  I think these need some more work, _33.  For Houston I was thinking of maybe Human Trafficking Aggie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Houston). For Cincy I prefer Spaghetti Vomit Aggie or WKRP Aggie.  For UCF, I think keeping it simple and going with Walt Disney Aggie is probably wise.  For BYU, I do love the Latter-Day Aggie and think that would work, but No Gays or Beers Aggie is also a legitimate contender.

What about MLM Aggie or Mommy Blogger Aggie?

[MakeItRain]

Not only would UAB not be fun to play, I have never heard one goddamn person in my entire life say they want to take a trip to Birmingham, Alabama.  Hard pass.

To be clear, I'm absolutely not advocating for UAB, just impressed by their stadium. They'll be great in the AAC.

[MakeItRain]

Also, Manhattan, KS is likely to be the best road trip destination in the whole conference. Morgantown might be better, but nobody else in the conference is close enough to them to regularly make that trip.

I can see the appeal for some but Morgantown is very weird to me.

Bourbon tour on Friday. Cinci game on Saturday. Keeneland or Churchill Downs on Sunday.

Definitely recommend not staying in Cinci unless you just want another downtown experience. Nothing special about it.

oooh I do really like Disney Aggie.

LOL WVU in the South?

Needs to be switched with OSU.

Trying to keep WVU and BYU in different divisions so they don't have to fly so f'cking far.

That N/S division is pretty good. It puts WVU with UCF which is great for WVU, the only problem with it is that it takes them away from Cincinnati. It's weird but in a N/S It probably makes more sense to put BYU in the south. It's not anymore geographically weird than having Missouri in the SEC East.

Commuter Aggie works well for Houston, they are best know for being a commuter school here.  I agree that Cincy should be related to their weird-ass chilli spaghetti thing. Mouse-Aggie works for UCF too I think.

If Pac 12 leftovers want to join with the new Big 12 that can happen even with 4 new schools.

Also, all of it could occur at a time when we have more info to base a decision on.

It doesn't though. The Pac and Big have both said they aren't expanding. The AAC teams need to give 27 months notice, so it works to add them no later than spring '22 so they can start playing fall 2024.

The AAC will definitely hold their teams to the contract, if we do the same for OU and UT, the timing works out perfectly. It looks like we're going to add BYU before the current television contract is done and I do think that's a mistake and pretty unnecessary.

Well, I say "might be" because I have never been. The scenery looks nice in photos, though.

Fox may have their own ideas about that. And, related, how long can the current PAC placate USC?

I'd wait a bit. Expansion candidates on par with the ones we're considering will still be around. That said, I think I'm the only one totally fine with allowing the Big 12 to die and going to the Mountain West.

Like, play Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati. Or play SDSU, UNLV, and Boise State. What's the difference?

Makes no difference to me. If anything, I'd like to see us waste less money.

Oh, I agree. The Mountain West would be a really fun schedule year in, year out, with a lot of cool schools to travel to. We would be completely irrelevant nationally, though, so I guess you have to weigh that with whatever potential relevance the Big 12 might afford us.

[MakeItRain]

Saying joining a conference with San Jose State, Hawaii, Wyoming, Utah State, and New Mexico is no different than being in the Big 12 without OU and Texas is an objectively bad take.

On the other hand, we are already completely irrelevant nationally!

GOOD MORNING PAK HEADS! Great news this AM

Seems like all the obvious options. Although MIR kinda talked me into Memphis over Houston.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Maybe Houston could be Absentee Landowner Aggie.
