American Athletic Conference

[BOBB]

Like the big announcement of keeping the MVC tourney in St Lewis?

Elgin: You really thought Kansas City???

Does seem a little slow 2day. I hope we don't have to wait 3 more days or something dumb like that. 0 Percent chance My heart can take it.

Oh... oh, so news conference at 2:30, huh?

I know we're just kidding, but yes this needs to happen soon for the mental health and productivity of us all. If for some reason it does take a week or whatever to wrap up, it will no joke be one of the longest weeks of my entire life.

I can't take it anymore, be back in one minute to check for new updates .

LOL!

Hey Shocker fans, an SMU fan here. Decided to check out y'alls board, since it sounds like we might be conference mates now. Pretty excited you guys are joining, need some more quality competition in the AAC. If you got an SMU questions or AAC questions let me know. For example: yes, UConn fans are pretty odd for the most part and blame all of their failures on the AAC..

Shocker fans,

You'll also see that SMU fans talk a big game all season, pimping their top-of-the-AAC records, only to lose early in the big dance every single year. All talk, no game...at least when it matters the most.

I'm looking forward to sharing a conference with a school that actually produces in the post-season.

XOXO

I swear that is like a live feed of my laptop for the past 24-48 hours.

24-48 hours? Great self-control you have exhibited. Think a good deal of us have been experiencing this for a week or two.

We do talk a big game and beat UConn all the time and then sadly have fallen apart in the tournament the last two tries. :banghead:

Our time will come. All kidding aside I REALLY hope UCONN is good again this year. Love you UCONN_Husky :love_heart: And super pumped for WSU to join the AAC.

[MadaboutWu]

It's a great day when UConn and SMU fans are fighting on shockernet! Welcome all!

According to these sports talk guys (forward to 25 minutes in), WSU has seven votes with one on the fence. Eight votes are needed. That show appears to have aired yesterday.

Edit: I think that's a Cincinnati radio show.

Crap. Not only are UCONN players leaving, but now a couple Memphis players are leaving too.

Letter I just read over the air from Memphis forwards KJ and Dedric Lawson. Both will transfer. Absolute bombshell.

I thought nine votes were needed. Does Navy not get a say or something?

If the vote has not alreay taken place, then this is a cluster f**k. Too many "sources" for this to be anything but a done deal. WSU does not go on record saying "we would accept if invited," unless they know there is an invite.

I wondered the same thing. Apparently not. And other than when it comes time to negotiate a TV deal, WSU joining doesn't affect them.
