American Athletic Conference

[Shock Top]

Probably same story as the Sunflower:

They are too busy trying to influence a SGA election, but I digress.

Wrong. SOMEONE must wear the black-hat - even just for funzies.

UCONN's fans, my mild dislike for the east coast and for some reason I'm not a Calhoun guy.

SMU cuz Texans (Just cuz they all love Texas so damn much), Jank and Larry are all easy to dislike.

Tulsa has tradition.

If that's how you get your kicks then no problem. Go for it.

I get my kicks at foot locker. Im just having fun online. It's not real it's the internet.

[Play Angry]

Let the rivalries evolve naturally. It will happen (and already has, in Tulsa's case - it just needs to be reignited with sustained, shared success).

I am with you on the dislike of Larry...Etc. But easy on Texas. We do have it going pretty good down here damnit lol ;P

Not sure you could convince John Higgins of that.

Ruh roh, Dougie E. Whatcha gonna do now?? Add UIC since Loyola was such a home run?

Either the registered letter has been received or Elgin has been advised it's on its way.

My point exactly - ;)

For starters there is a team's group of fans in this conference (besides Wichita State) that truly believed Gregg Marshall would be the coach of their team right now.

Memphis?

If you don't mind I will opt out of that collective. Save that for KU, Creighton and Illinois State, et. al. but I for one am going into this with nothing but respect, charity and without the least bit of anxiety towards any of our new conference brothers and sisters. This is a new lease on life. I am ready to leave those negative thoughts behind along with our membership in the Valley.

Of course, that doesn't mean I don't want the Shocks to win every conference game, match or contest in every sport we play but I think I can enjoy winning just as much feeling good about and respecting our conference foes. Perhaps a nasty rivalry will organically develop but I can live without it if it doesn't. A good, healthy, positive rivalry (or several rivalries) works fine for me.

Our membership in the Valley reached the point where it was dragging us down. Looking forward to being helped by a bunch of positve thinking acheivers instead.

Me too. At our first home AAC game I will stand and cheer for the away team during introductions (please be Tulsa) and then will cheer WSU while we win by 20, then cheer them off the court. And boo at the refs in between because they suck.

[Fake Gregg Marshall]

There is now a Wichita, South Dakota twitter handle. "The official Convention and Visitors Bureau of Wichita, South Dakota. Home of the Wichita State Shockers. We take the escalator, it's just smarter."

You'll have to up your game, FGM.

I see that. I've been under the impression that my satirical sense of humor wouldn't be well received, but this guy is killing it.

Fake Gregg just became more true to himself.

[Shocker Mama]

The AAC Twitter thingy, in case it hasn't been posted.

I think this is a done deal and now everyone's just waiting on legal to give approval - or maybe clarify a few wordings. Just confirming that all the i's and t's were previously dotted and crossed .

...soon....
