Our West Coast and Texas alums are ecstatic.  As for the rest of them - I'll put it this way.  They feel a primary selection criterion for choosing OOC opponents should be whether they can drive to the away game, so you can imagine how they feel about 12 years of games in Cali and Texas.  :rolleyes:  That said, they would like to see the plan for scheduling the Olympic sports.  I'm sure the rowing fans kind of gulped knowing that we finished 10th in the 2023 NCAAs and we just brought in the teams that finished 1st (Stanford), 8th (Cal) and 9th (SMU).

A lot of our posters, like here, are operating under the mistaken assumption that the ACC sat on their hands doing nothing and just got the leftovers.  I saw the Tweets here about the ACC working behind the scenes for a year with no success and posted them on our board.  Some, but not all, paid attention.  Personally, I think it was a smart move.  I was one of the people who was very happy when we played USC-w, UCLA, and Orygun. because they weren't any of the usual suspects.  With the right coach, I think that SMU is quite capable of following the same arc that TCU did under Patterson when it moved from the Mountain West to the Big XII.  It will be more than just amusing to see them as one of the semi-regulars in the ACCCG, bumping out Clemson and/or FSU for a slot.
