  1. Yup---after the veer----there was the whole Run-and-Shoot era with Ware....and then the Briles offense era with Kevin Kolb having some very good years...and then the Air Raid period with Case.....then Herman did his thing. We've had our moments.
  2. Its now a kind of a mess fraught with legal peril. Thats why it wouldnt surprise me to see something unprecedented like the Big12, SEC, ESPN, AAC, and FOX all come to the table to work something out. The Big-12 teams get paid, the SEC gets OU/Texas early. A few Big12 teams are moved to a P5. The rest merge with the AAC and get enough financial security to solidify their future---perhaps they even get ESPN/FOX guarantee that they will not be excluded from any future playoff structure. I just dont see the Big12 collapsing. I dont think most of them have enough individual TV value to motivate a P5 to expand like Texas and Oklahoma did. I think most (perhaps all of them) will end up in a situation where they have nowhere better to go.
  3. You are an absolutely glittering jewel of ignorance. Try mastering basic punctuation and capitalization before spinning the toothless Denton townie version of "what the UH administrators think". Nobody in the Houston administration would turn down a Big12 slot in a vain attempt to "stick it to some old SWC mates". The current UH administrators were not even around in 1994 and could care less what happened back then. Lol---they jumped at the opportunity to join a collapsing Big East, with no anchor teams, centered 1000 miles away from them---you can bet your last dollar they would accept a Big12 invite where they would be in the footprint and could play P5 teams from the region. To continue to argue otherwise simply makes you too stupid to engage in further discussion.
  4. Of course---but a really good basketball conference can provide another nice revenue stream. Heck, even when it comes to TV, the old Big East had separate TV deals for football and basketball. They made more from their basketball deal than from their football deal. They were the exception of course---but there is money to be made off of basketball---and that will be important for a group that wont be seeing a Big12 distribution of 37.7 million a team anymore.
  5. Actually, with Baylor, Tech, Kansas, plus maybe Houston, Memphis, BYU, and Cinci---it would have a solid core to be a potential top 4 or 5 basketball league. Still room to add a few more programs.
  6. For what its worth I came away from the NIU vs Ball State game unimpressed. I though both teams looked horrible on defense. Slow, poor tackling defenses. I saw slow strong plodding running backs. I saw one receiver with any real speed. I honestly think both teams looked about like Rice. A Fresno, UCF, or Houston would destroy both of those squads. They don't have the speed to keep up. If NIU makes a BCS game its going to be a way worse beating than last year. Just picture Rice vs Baylor. It will set the non-AQ cause back 20 years.
  7. Oh please----its on Christmas Eve 5000 miles from anywhere. Nobody ever brings more than 10 people to this silly thing. If Hawaii isn't in this bowl its a morgue. Its there for Hawaii and nobody else. Its a great trip for the kids, but nobody ever travels to this bowl in any real numbers. Its on a bad date and very expensive.
  8. They will hire a few assistant coaches from the area--probably at least one higly regarded high school coach who will help them in that department. No special insight into Dykes, that just kind of the normal operating procedure. Just as an aside, that was one of the reasons Briles (Baylor) was hired as assistant coach by Texas Tech. Obviously he was talented and had been a great high school head coach, but he was also a former president of the Texas High School Coaches Association and had a ton of contracts with Texas high school coaches. Thats a heck of a recruiting tool. Two years later he was hired as the head coach in Houston. Im sure his recruting contacts have played a role in his success. By the way, RG3 was orignially recruited by Briles to play in Houston. Had Briles stayed in Houston, Keenum probably would have never seen the field.
  9. Good hire. I wonder who is taking the LaTech job. Maybe his OC (Franklin)?
  10. I dont know about that---but they can probably get anything else they want---including naming the west division the "BYU Division"
  11. I see how your calculating it now. Dont have time to calculate it now, but your count is probably about right. The first half of the BCS era we pretty much sucked--so most of our AQ wins would be more recent. You mentioned the schools history along with that so I thought you were going back further than the early 90's.. That said, I'd say only S Miss has won more games in CUSA than Houston during the last decade. ECU I know has not won as many games. I'd have to check Tulsa's win totals--they might be close. However, when it comes to SMU---I'd guess all 3 of those teams probably won more games than SMU.
  12. Certainly for Houston, and to a lesser extent SMU---the "fewer AQ wins" quote is puzzeling. Both have more AQ wins than virtually any team you probably follow. Until the break up of the SWC, virtually all their games were against current AQ programs.
  13. Thompson said each conference will see an increase in BCS revenue.......I'd be very surprised if that was the case for the Big East.
  14. Good point. The basketball only schools actually produce less credits than the football playing all-sports schools.
  15. Yes. But any 8 schools are likely to out earn any single school anywhere unless that single school is named Texas or Notre Dame. The good basketball schools can do quite well. You get one credit for making the NCAA and then an additional credit each time you advance in the Tourney. FYI-MORE than half of all the Big Easts NCAA basketball credits come from football playing schools. The basketball only schools share that money. Theres a reason the basketball only schools dont leave the football schools---they would make much less money.
