You don’t want to go down this road. It ain’t for the faint of heart.
I did not know Dr. Taylor was a Naval Aviator. If he was a carrier pilot, he did have balls. Those early days flying was much different than
than to day. Had an exec officer who earned the NAVY CROSS during the 2nd Marriana turkey shoot. Flying a Curtis SB2c (son of a bitch 2nd class) dive bomber, dropped a 500 lb. bomb down the stack of a Jap cruiser.
Anywhere where Holtz isn’t allowed to follow the team, is there such a place as that?
My heart ain't faint. I am ready to hear the "dirty laundry".
Time to move on past EWE. The last two have not been able to overcome the corruption but they should have put Tech ahead of Lafayette in the name game pecking order.
They are (and were) bureaucrats. That's all. They aren't going to move the needle. Being a successful bureaucrat is all about collecting your paycheck and NOT rocking the boat.
exactly
Awesome! Did not know that about FJ...just makes me respect him even more.
Welp it looks like the AAC is going to have a few openings...
It's nut cuttin time yall

Hopefully there’s not a “what have you done for me lately” approach and the consistent above average performance of our football, men’s basketball, and baseball will be viewed favorably.
Let's pray that we are prepared for this go round. Otherwise its back to the Gulf States err Sunbelt for Tech.
Sunbelt is better than CUSA in football.
Maybe right now, but do you want to play with ULM and ULL every year? I would rather play SMU and Tulane instead.
I've made peace with this not really being in our control. If they're looking for markets, what were we going to do? Move to Dallas?
If they're looking for on-field production? Well, I'd think the smart play would be medium to long term reliability (which we'd have). And there aren't a whole lot of schools in the pool better on consistency than us, even if some of the highest highs have been higher than ours.
If they're looking for geography, well - nothing we can do about that.
If it's about budgets or eye-balls? Again, what were we supposed to do? Double our enrollment?
I'd love to play in what's left of the AAC, especially if they were to also bring in some schools we like being around (Rice, USM, just generally good programs). I could probably be ok with the Sunbelt (especially if like a USM came too). But I'd also be ok with just staying in CUSA so long as the AAC doesn't take a certain 3-4 schools. If we're getting left in a CUSA that lost, like, ODU and the F_U twins? I could live with that. Heck, I'd like it better than current CUSA (but not as much as AAC of course).
I guess my bottom line is that I've accepted that it's not really a question of "not being ready" or anything like that. There are some scenarios where we'd be worse off, but still plenty with more or less the same situation or even better.
We lost ours a couple of decades ago. And the scotoplasty has eroded.
