It's a great night to be a shocker. This will go down as one of those "I remember exactly what I was doing when I found out we were heading to the AAC" type of moments.
For me, I was holding a sleeping baby and doing some office paperwork on my living room couch. What a great night!

Holding a sleeping baby just home from the hospital, thinking,I haven't been on SN for a bit....

I'm envious regards holding Henry; not so much about being on SN. I need to get a life!

Makes me wonder since the story was released that late at night if the vote hasn't already happened they are just waiting for the legal teams to finalize things.

On that note someone needs to make a t-shirt that says VALLEY Back to Back to Back to Back Champions below that it needs to say BUH BYE friends. On the back have it say Hello American!

I'm glad this came out. This was my biggest concern about 3G, being the only team in the conference capable of getting an at-large. This puts him back in the position he was in at Winthrop. The one year we win 28-29 games and get left out, he's done here. This move can not happen soon enough.

Northern Iowa and a Illinois state team led my Muller will keep the valley relevant... The peak is sweet sixteen with numerous first round exits... I actually loved the valley up until the last few years when you know we were getting the hose job in arch madness by Elgin... Almost as If they wanted to keep us down in hopes of keeping us in the valley.... Like Elgin didn't want us to get too big... Big as enough wanting to move out the valley...

Define relevant...

One of those teams hasnt been to the dance in 20 years, the other has an at large quality team once every 5 years or so

So when we leave, Doug elgin has to get fired -- right?

There is no way you can lose Creighton and Wichita State in your tenure and keep your job. Oh wait, it is the valley we are taking about. Never mind.

Elgin is the physical manifestation of the Valley schools administrations' collective will. To fire him would be the ultimate case of cognitive dissonance.

How I feel after hearing the news this morning.

Don't forget Tulsa. He was Commish when they left also.

I sometimes wonder if Elgin regrets helping us get Marshall.
