Re: App State to the Sun Belt
After I've heard things like this from various people about various conferences and all the chatter on here for the past however long.....I'll believe it when they make the official announcement.

Re: App State to the Sun Belt
Monday? If they're going to announce it today would be better. That would give us something else to party about this weekend.

Re: App State to the Sun Belt
You can say that but if you look at BooneTowns last post with news it was the non-conference opponents we didn't know about and he was right. Not saying he's right here but I wouldn't go to slamming him yet either.ASUMountaineer wrote:It's seems like these "done deal" things are always posted by newbies...appdaze wrote:After I've heard things like this from various people about various conferences and all the chatter on here for the past however long.....I'll believe it when they make the official announcement.

Re: App State to the Sun Belt
FWIW...an Arkansas State fan posted this on the SunBelt board a few minutes ago...
I don't know for sure how many will join. I was just told that as of right now App St is a lock. They've already committed to the Belt and in the process of filling out the paper work. That is all I have heard as of today. I do know GaSo and NMSU are likely the next two in line. I will go on record and say that WKU might not be the only school leaving the Belt. Take it for what it's worth.
Are we having fun yet?

This board will be down to 4 members if we use that criteria on everyone

Re: App State to the Sun Belt
If the time clock is correct on both boards Boone Town's post was about twenty something minutes before the Sun Belt poster made his first post about App State being voted in by phone and having accepted.
Even though he only has 3 posts, less than 3 weeks as a member here, it seems that he may very well be onto something (unless he is that same poster).

That's the one thing that will kind of suck. 7 p.m. might mean 8 p.m.

Re: App State to the Sun Belt
We heard this was going to happen last May (maybe even from the same poster on the Sun Belt board). Still nothing. I'll believe it when it's official. We've waited 35 years, what's a few more days. Patience, grasshoppers.

If one is to believe all the message board material, ASU and GSU were done deals yesterday, but it fell apart over NMSU.TheMoody1 wrote:BooneTown wrote:Done Deal! Announcement will be made Monday.

Gotta take the offer when it comes, but I'm not too excited about sending our baseball/track/tennis/softball teams to Las Cruces.

Re: App State to the Sun Belt
Glenn, I got the feeling reading (below) that maybe the SBC is just considering NMSU for football only...
from ai.com
"Many of the perspective schools in the pool fit the bill. The majority of the schools we are looking at are FCS, but we do acknowledge that New Mexico State and Idaho are in need a conference and are being assessed. We are looking specifically for schools that will add stability and value. We also are exploring the possibility of football-only members, and it's not just limited to NMSU and Idaho."
