Interesting if true. I can't say that I'm a fan unless Butler comes with them...and I really don't see that happening.

I can't say that I'm a fan unless Butler comes with them...and I really don't see that happening.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. -
Re: Valley Expansion Close?
I don't get it.
1) Why does AF feel they need to leave the MWC in their other sports to "maintain their football"?
2) Why would the MVC be the "most likely destination"?
3) Why in the world would the MVC want anything to do with adding an 11th team, especially one that is all the way out in Colorado?
None of this makes any sense...UNI FIGHT

I can't say I'm that excited about this move. I don't see how it adds to the competition that MVC is known for.Raised a Hawkeye, Panther by choice.

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
Why would we want to add a team that does not improve the conference strength, there are many many other teams that make a lot more sense then Air Force.
Personally I am waiting for our invite to the Big 12, I heard it was almost in the mail but Kansas didn't like the idea so it is on hold.Comment

Please no...that's all.Comment

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
I like it if a decent 12th can be identified. I really doubt Butler will leave their sweet deal in the Horizon.__________________

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
AFA? Yeah, right. No one in the MVC would approve that.Selling a lot of old UNI stuff here: http://www.panthernation.com/showthread.php?t=65762Comment

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
Yeah I don't get this either. It would make sense if they moved football to the Big East, but wanted to keep the other sports more regional and the MWC told them it's all or nothing. This makes no sense the way it is being reported.Comment

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
If teams complained about having to travel to the Dakotas for football, I don't see why they'd be okay with having to travel clear out to the middle of Colorado for all other sports.Comment

My favorite comment is when shockers fans are like "Yeah lets just kick out Indiana state to bring in air force" ok I love the military academies but how would that improve competitiveness?Comment

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
Air Force>Indiana State. Come on falcons are WAAAAY better than Trees, plus I hear they travel well.Originally posted by Sycamorefan View Post
Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
Interesting...although an odd choice for AF geographically. Not that they would have problems flying anywhere.
If the Mo. Valley does move to 12 teams, the other school I'd like to see would be St. Louis Univ. (non-football school, though). I think Majerus once indicated it would be a better fit than the Atlantic 10.Comment

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
The MVC does need to look to expand. Nobody knows where all of the realignment is going to shake out. Just look at the Big XII. There was stagnet not looking to improve their position and the conference all but imploded. The realignment will have a ripple effect on all of the non BCS conferences so to behooves them to look at options to be in a position of strength as the changes occur.Comment

Re: Valley Expansion Close?
I agree that SLU would be a good fit for the MVC. SIUE will likely try to get in as well in a few years. I don't like that idea however.Last edited by orangetennis; 10-07-2011, 01:10 PM.Comment
