American Athletic Conference

Welcome Shockers!!! :yahoo:Super excited for you guys to come down to Moody next year (conference better not screw us only letting WSU-SMU play once) with the new format for 18 games is play 7 teams twice and 4 teams once.

Save me a couple of seats! I live out west in Kansas, and it's a 58 minute flight direct from Garden City. Woooo Hooooo!

Ah... another plus! We get to play our conference tourney on the big boy weekend, instead of a week earlier.

This is perhaps the only thing I am not looking forward to. I know, TV contract, but otherwise their time slot is the absolute worst. Their championship game is meaningless because the committee has shown they don't really even account for the Big 10 and AAC championship. Do AAC fans even get to watch the Selection Show live or do you have to record it?

Welcome to the AAC! While I'll admit to having a general apathy (or even disdain) for this Conference of Misfit Toys over the past few years, I'm very excited to have you guys along for the ride!

I'll definitely be there. My grandson lives in McKinney - oh, I guess his parents do too.

I like the 7 H-H and 4 single game format.

How much do you wanna bet we get H-H with
1. Tulsa
2. SMU
3. UCONN
4. Memphis
5. Cincy
6. Houston
7. Temple

and we get single games with UCF, USF, East Carolina and Tulane. That's how I would do it if I was trying to strengthen the conference. Make all your best teams face WSU as many times as possible.

Welcome Shockers! Coogs (UH fans spell it with 2 o's and I don't even know why) are looking forward to playing the new AAC basketball power!

Kinda like one of our former stars referred to as Cooz who, by the way, came from Houston.

Looks like the conference level coverage will be a boost as well. Meet ADN - The American Digital Network.
