Tulane and Memphis

[LeachPack]

I’ve never understood the obsession with either of these programs joining the PAC. They’re a world away, in every sense of the phrase.

What am I missing?

Wasn't Sterk at Tulane? Maybe he got some love between our schools ....

It's all about TV viewership. If you add those two schools, you can get a package of "early games" on TV. Both school are in pretty cool locations (Cougs in NOLA?) and would make for good venues to travel too. I think it would work.

No Sterk was at Missouri.

Rick Dickson was at Tulane.

They’re decent academically, in decent sized markets, and aren’t in a P4 conference. I think that pretty much summarizes the draw…and I agree, that’s not enough.

Best of what's left.

Memphis is pretty meh, but New Orleans is great and I've got family a few hours or so away in Biloxi...so that'd be awesome for a football or b-ball long weekend. SDSU & Tulane could really alleviate some of my Spokane winter blues.

Me too -back to back on the road at Tulane and Memphis would be an AMAZING week.

Memphis is a solid town. Beale Street is way more fun than the French Quarter - and I've spent a boatload of time in NOLA the last decade. Food isn't as good but the bars and music are more my jam.

Yeah think how close we are to having Vegas and New Orleans as potential road trips.

At this point you gotta take the wins where you can get em. I may not go to every home game but I’m gonna enjoy the shit out of these road trips.
