As I said earlier ---
"So what we have Saturday is a battle between two head coaches who are West BY GOD Virginians and I feel it's Coach Clark's turn to walk off the field as the Victor ---"

Right now...in a dark room somewhere...Mike Aresco is sitting on the floor, hugging himself, quietly crying and rocking back and forth.

All the naysayers of our coaching staff need to shut their mouths permanently. That is all.
How's the air up on that high horse?

I was thinking the same thing. He has to be kicking himself for going with the "market team" expansion. Although I am glad he did because I really like where we are in the Sun Belt and think it is the premier G5 conference. With the playoff expansion coming soon, the Sun Belt Champion will be in a great position to make the field every year. Things are looking good in the Sun Belt.

Sitting here at an Aggie bar. Great fan base, very congratulatory. Had a feeling before the game we'd pull it off and big credit to the coaches for having a great gameplan and sticking to it. Glad I came down here

Aresco and the AAC doubled down and offered conference membership based on TV audience potential, which has proven repeatedly to be problematic.

Gill and the SBC offered membership based on individual program performance and the opportunity to increase regional competition. Better travel for teams, happier fans and more competitive conference play.

If Aresco is crying, Gill has to be smiling right now.

Although I have not visited that many college stadiums, I will give A&M credit. Best college stadium environment I have been to...not just student section, entire stadium gets into their cheers, etc

"No. 6 Texas A&M lost 17-14 to Appalachian State, sending the Aggies tumbling in the early Bowl Subdivision pecking order and reinforcing something every Power Five program should tattoo on their forehead: Don't schedule the Mountaineers — not at home, not away, not ever."

Ha yea, well, I am grabbing an online master's as well. I guess I should rephrase that. I would love to be a 21-year-old student for this so I can get hammered, rock in the streets, jump in the duck pond, urinate on the tire of a car with a unc sticker, and then peacefully pass out on hippie hill.
