At any rate, I expect Temple to leave the MAC for something better if they ever get the football program headed in the right direction. They probably would love to be a full (all-sports) member of C-USA.
The (crappy) 2007 schedule is out!
I have nothing really against Temple joining the MAC. It is more disdain for the MAC office for only adding one team and creating this clusterf**k.

IIRC, though, Temple reached out to Convict-USA after getting dumped from the Big Least and were politely told thanks but no thanks.
That's probably because of the horrendous state of their football program. I am saying, when (if) Temple gets their football program in order, I bet they will look to move all their sports to the C-USA. That may be why they didn't join the MAC as a full member.1987alum wrote:Warthog:Warthog wrote:I have nothing really against Temple joining the MAC.

I motion that we attempt to disband our MAC, and reform under a title that sports broadcasters will screw up less often. We should drop 3 schools from consideration during the reformation, and seek 4 better schools willing to defect from their crummy conferences.
We would potentially have a more powerful conference than the Big East, and two 7 team divisions!
Flame away, it's all a joke anyways.

I think they hold out hope for the Big East.1987alum wrote:Warthog:Warthog wrote:I have nothing really against Temple joining the MAC. It is more disdain for the MAC office for only adding one team and creating this clusterf**k.

If it was up to the football-only schools, I bet they'd strongly consider Temple as a full member. The problem, historically, has been the basketball-only programs, according to some of the Internet chatter I've read.
Take it for what it's worth.

I've done some sporadic digging on the whole Big East/realignment thing as time permits. The basketball-only schools are becoming an increasingly large issue for the Big Least. With more money pouring into the BCS and the addition of a 12th regular season game, I get the sense that the conference (led, of course, by the football schools) is looking for a way to cut loose a number of basektball-only schools while at the same time scooping up some full-time members. The key is to not have a net loss in overall revenues.
Time will tell.

I was trying to suggest that basketball-only schools may have blocked Temple's full entry to the Big East in the past. If they go, maybe Temple gets another look -- as would Memphis and Central Florida, in my opinion.

That is hilarious. One BCS team out of four games. We can at least say we are playing three BCS team in our OOC schedule.tekekini wrote:hahaha have a fun boring football season once again.
thats the most horrible home schedule ever hahaha
enjoy
i will be laughing for a while
Do you really want to compare schedules over the years??
Sorry, Minnesota is "craptacular"and is only a BCS team by default due to conference, otherwise they do not count.
BC is always over rated. they may make top 25 but do they ever win championships?
look at who OSU has played and who they have comming up.. Hell they had to face # 2 three times last year which has NEVER been done before.
Texas, Washington (was actually highly ranked when they played in 03), Wash state (highly ranked at time), Texas Tech, they have Oklahoma, Miami and USC for the next 6 to seven years.
So they have one season thrown into the mix that isnt as strong of a schedule as you have become used to. so what.
By the way they play two OOC next year as of right now. Syracuse is also on the schedule.
