Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1836445, member: 780"] That's interesting. UT without football isn't really UT. You probably do understand the out-sized of importance of football in Texas. I don't think they would ever entertain the idea. But it might be a good thing for the ACC. Texas basketball is generally good. Baseball is generally terrific. I don't see Texas doing it. They like playing in and around Texas. They really liked the old Southwest Conference with Arkansas. Most people like Austin as a place to visit. But Texas is sooo huge that just seeing that isn't really "seeing Texas". If you had a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces were the individual states: If you turned the Texas piece over to the East, it would reach the Atlantic Ocean. If you turned the piece over to the West, it would touch the Pacific Ocean. If you turned the piece North, you would touch the Canadian border. [/QUOTE]
