    So yes TT, I noticed it. But you'll pardon me if the intent was lost on me.

    Going forward, I would respectfully submit that the most effective way to express your disinterest in a given topic or thread is to simply NOT participate in the discussion. It costs you nothing, takes no effort on your part, and your friends and colleagues wont be belittled or insulted by a snooty, condescending non-opinion.

    Finally, I'd like to clarify that the above rant this is not directed solely at TT. I'm looking at you too, HD. Ya big dumbass. :icon_wink:

    Thank you Champ967. Fact is, if I commented with an emoticon every time you said something silly, the final literary results would exceed the size of "Gone with the Wind". You never cease to NOT amaze me. :icon_wink:

    That way they won't have to invite Chicago State and NJIT.

    It looks like UNO, Abilene Christian, and Incarnate Word all applied to the Southland Conference. Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word are currently Division II schools.

    With the SLC set to have 11 members in 2013, I think the Southland will just add 1 member to get to 12. I would think that UNO would be the obvious choice, which would leave Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word without a Division I home. But maybe the SLC wants to go to 14 members. I don't know.

    The addition of Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word (assuming they don't receive SLC invites) would get the WAC up to 10 members and could save the WAC down the road when they eventually lose programs.

    Incarnate Word will move up to DI and join the Southland...

    Since this has taken a turn toward the yellow faces....

    Shouldn't 40% of the posts on here end with or

    And then the next 50% followed by .

    The other 10% are just IMO, IMHO, LOL'd, WTF, etc which could be followed by numerous :icon_wink:123.gif etc....

    Just my 2 cents...

    None of the posts on this board should ever end with IMHO.

    The WAC has been a very good thorn-in-the-side-of-the-big-boys conference.

    It's demise is due to jealousy and greed on the part of the schools who have been a part of it.

    Very sad.

    I don't totally disagree, but the common denominator for all years is Karl Benson and his lack of leadership. I think teams (including Boise) were running from him.

    It's amazing that all the high intellects allowed him to stay in place so long.
