I'm a dreamer of course.

While the OSU game was a sell-out, the Okies drew 58,253 (capacity 65,515) in 2010.

We want out for this reason. We have something to offer. As do USF, Houston, Memphis, and UCF. The reality is the top AAC schools are equivalent to the second tier P5 schools, including left behind 8.Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.
Intimidate! Dominate! Celebrate!

Yelling, whining, acting out and confusing everyone. This was unnecessary and unwarranted. For the same reasons the AAC is not being picked clean for realignment, though many members deserve it and will do well, making an Alliance with the AAC doesn't add much value to the Alliance. Sure there would be value in a scheduling rotation with some of the top AAC schools, and that would take away from scheduling strength of SEC games, but top to bottom the AAC is not deserving to be included.

He’s being an advocate for his league, what’s wrong with that?

He should've approached the Alliance commissioners and let them know he is on board with what he is hearing and ask directly to be included. This should've been done last week when rumors started circulating en masse. Yeah, he was promoting the league, but it was whiny and without actionable merit. I'd rather hear that he reached out, had a conversation and agrees with the educational emphasis on student part of student athletes. Then add in a large chat about the educational programs at AAC institutions, and how they match the values and deliverables of ACC, Big 10, and Pac. He could close with quick mention that AAC was not in the handshake scheduling deal with the Alliance; however; we are and will continue to engage in contractual agreements to play Alliance member institutions.
Instead he complained about not being invited to the party. Sometimes you have to invite yourself self and state your philosophical alignment.Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

we know a statement doesn't really matter... but makes it more likely we are headed to the Big12... travel is gonna SUCK if that happens... It would be kinda neat to get OK St., Iowa St (if they stay relevant), and to a lesser extent Texas Tech at Nippert. Also miss our rivalry with WVU if they don't bolt to the ACC. Beats ECU and Tulane...Last edited by Chewbacca2099; 08-26-2021, 03:39 PM.

Or, maybe the AAC boots ECU and Tulane, and absorbs the BIG 12.
