Texas State to Mountain West

What good is a "travel partner"?
It's not like schools are traveling together to reduce costs. I don't understand.

Guess the better term is regional rival. WKU and MTSU have been together for decades. Feels like every time one changes conference the other travels with them. All the way back to the OVC.

It means nothing

The basketball rivalry against WKU was always fun

I don't remember playing WKU in football more than 5 or 6 times towards the end.

I seem to recall, Wright Waters keeping WKU off Louisiana's schedule everytime they added a new conference member

Could have gotten them on board 2 years ago. Obviously the SBC presidents don’t want them.

…..can we still use 6 guys? Think that was the opponent!

Travel partner is a true deal for the road team. You generally play 2 nearby teams on one road trip in basketball. You play at WKU on Thursday and at MT on Saturday. You can bus on Friday from one school to the next. Better than playing WKU on Thursday and Georgia Southern on Saturday. Extra flight involved there.

We played at WKU in 6 guys on court game. People forget that had no impact on outcome. We spread the court and EP beat two guys off dribble to the hoop for winning basket as time expired.

You need a school in the central time zone to keep divisions balanced. WKU fits that bill. Liberty does not.

After the way their fans attacked App. for canceling the game on Saturday, I’m gonna pass. I used to be in their corner.
