A better baseball conference would be nice...It always hurts our sos..
While their history in basketball IS significant, their football history is not a lot better than ours. Their recent success is not enough to offset the many years of mediocrity (yet). Besides, El Paso is closer to California than to Louisiana. Not really different than a road trip to New Mexico State. I would not have a major problem with being in a conference with them, but would prefer a number of others ahead of them. They would not make my top 11 to join the Cajuns in this "dream" conference, based especially on geography.Originally Posted by RaginEsquire06

I like most of your teams, but I'd substitute either Central FL or Troy for Marshall. Also, I'd reverse the division names.Originally Posted by CajunRebel

Teams on the Bubble would be Rice, Arkansas State, and Tulsa!![]()
Personally, I am not sold on UTEP! El Paso is about a million miles away and is not a great goegraphical fit. With all of the schools I listed, the furthest one away...I believe...is about 7 hours away.

While you are researching, can you find out the distance of the schools, in terms of hours and miles! I would do it myself, but sneaking on here during work is the best i can do without turning heads! Or maybe Clutch can jump in on this one as well! The one i am most curious about, is Troy!Originally Posted by RaginEsquire06
Seems like, We LOVE Southern Miss
