OK brainiacs, now what?

Bingo, From the interview yesterday, Memphis' AD has been getting serious heat from ticket holders and alums for not signing up with the Pac-12 already. He said basically sweeten the deal and we are coming.
What we will see, I believe in the end, are East/West pods in a Pac ( or Pacc) 16 with an Auto-Birth to the 12 team tournament.

I know, I know when the Folgers starts yapping we will hear how this simply cannot happen.
Hold on, I am on cup #1 and catching up.

Socal - what interview? The one I saw just said it was a bad deal for Memphis and they said no........?

Uber - that's pretty funny. I resemble your snide remark. I'm worn out by all this, think I'll just watch for a while.

I’ve been to NOLA many a time but never been to Beale St. I’m hearing from people who have been to both places lately and who had been there before, they are not as safe as they used to be.

And agree re the food in NOLA. Until the last time I was there, it was all about the party - now I can’t wait to go back for the food.
Seattle and Spokane are not as safe as they used to be - but we can take that to one of Loyals political threads.

The police presence on Beale Street is mind blowing. You won’t ever have problems there.

The food in Memphis is pretty damned good too. The only place I’ve ever been with as good BBQ is Kansas City.

The Civil Rights Museum, Graceland, duck walk at the Peabody and Stack Records, are also must sees. Really enjoyed Memphis much more than I’d anticipated.

Bingo, From the interview yesterday, Memphis' AD has been getting serious heat from ticket holders and alums for not signing up with the Pac-12 already. He said basically sweeten the deal and we are coming. This is a program with the desire to aspire to bigger things. Much better than a program that has been a leech everywhere its gone, who leeched 20 million to stay with the bottom 5 of the MWC, rather than take the opportunity to join the MWC elite to join the Pac. The next MWC media deal is going to be flat dreadful, with every remaining school having just bad viewership numbers since 2016. Air Force (flagship) #81, Wyoming #84, Hawaii #94, Nevada #100, New Mexico #102, San Jose #103 and UNLV #104. I know many here are in love with UNLV, Vegas and the 3 million south Nevada viewing audience. In theory it is a can't miss situation. But in practice, it is and has always been just fools gold. UNLV does not aspire to bigger and better things. Never has, never will, and this just proved it. The Pac just dodged a bullet, at remaining MWC schools expense. MWC just got played by their perennial bottom feeder. They just got Larry Scotted!
As a fan, Memphis and NOLA are 100x better road trips than Vegas.

Beale Street is legit fun not the manufactured neon of Vegas.

The Quarter should be experienced by every American at least once. And then bail over to Frenchman’s Street in NOLA. Mind blowing food town that is, arguably, better than anywhere in the world.

Hawaii is still a football only member of the Mountain West and has not asked/been asked to bring other sports along

Time to go back to Memphis and Tulane with legit offers
