If the MWC finds a way to poach SMU and Tulsa, we will finally be part of the Pee 6 with Temple, Tulane, Navy, ECU, and Memphis!

There was a time that we were left behind in a conference with just Cincinnati and UConn. Just sayin.

This is a totally winnable conference at this point! Silver linings boys!

there are different benefits between renting a house and building your own house.  (Which is why raising as much in advance is such a big deal, right.) 

When you are established, there is never a benefit to “renting”, that’s true in life and sports. The only time “renting” makes sense is if you are unsure of your situation or can’t afford it. In the business of sports, it takes money to make money. Sometimes you need to take on debt to get it done and start reaping the benefits. Renting Ray Jay is a big part of us being in this situation. There’s a reason that nearly every school that plays have their own football stadiums, even the smallest schools.

We haven’t even won a conference game in two years and you are talking about winning a conference?

SMU and Tulsa?? They can have them, certainly not going to beg a couple fat chicks not to leave, by god I have standards even if they are low at times.

Well that is not really a fair comparison... most schools built their original stadium in the late 1800s or early 1900s... so it was a matter of renovating and adding on over time...  If you look at the schools who started football more recently -- UCF rented the Citrus Bowl for 25 years until it was in such a sad state they had no other choice.  USF has been in the Bucs stadium for 24 years now, and it's in much better shame than the CB was in the early 2000s... But yeah, the timing is right to move on.
