But will Missouri stay? It seems to me all the fans want to leave. If that happens, then what?

What kind of grass do you have? I have St. Augustine and did nothing to it beyond fertilizing in late winter/early spring, mowing weekly, and watering 5 days a week until watering restrictions went into effect. Everybody else in my neighborhood has Bermuda and did pretty much the same as me, but their lawns aren't nearly as green and healthy in this heat wave and drought. Not sure why, but I'm guessing it's because, even though both grasses are very heat-tolerant, properly watered St. Augustine is perhaps more heat-tolerant than properly watered Bermuda.Neil Sperry.
But I'm no Neil Sperry, so I could be wrong. Perhaps you can educate me?
One thing I have noticed: St. Augustine grows much thicker and more aggressively. It will eventually overtake and choke out a Bermuda lawn if allowed to. About twice a year, my poor neighbors have go to our property line and pull up all the St. Augustine runners creeping from my lawn into theirs. But they have no cause for complaint against me. I built my home years before they did, and they chose to plant Bermuda next to St. Augustine.

Wait, did I miss something? Do we have an offer for real or was that just a rumor? I couldn't really tell in the other threads...

There is nothing official for anyone at this time, just rumors.

We were 5-6 the year before accepting an invite to the MWC. Some writer in the Deseret Rag wrote a piece after we went 8-0 and won the conference our first year there about their hoping to have gotten a nice little private school, with good academics, fine baseball, an OK football program, in a new TV market...but instead, Whoa Nelly!

My front & side yards are St. Augustine. I have fought root rot the last two years but things are looking good now. I keep my grass mowed higher (3 - 4" tall) in the Summer.

Thanks for responding. I was wondering what all this football drivel has to do with the important issue of St. Augustine vs. Bermuda lawns.

So, is that why big east is recruiting smu/UCF in case tcu is gobbled up this week??
It's amazing to think what smu has lacked the past tens of years and them being on the verge of a bcs conf??....compared with what mountain we've climbed, wow

I always had trouble with St Augustine in Houston. Would get those giant brown patches every summer/fall. I've got Bermuda here in New Braunfels and it's been great. I agree that keeping it cut higher helps in the heat.

Leaders always have the most arduous of tasks facing them. Followers always get a smoother road to travel, because those who trudged ahead already packed it down.
The conditioning and preparation for SMU going AQ is not there in my eyes. I see them being a Tech or Baylor in the Big East. While they might have a year or two where they do pretty good, in the long run they are either a bottom feeder or a .500 team.
If that is all the school and its fans care about, more power to them. Personally, I enjoy the fact that TCU has higher standards for themselves.
To a further extent, if SMU going AQ off TCU's coattails opens the door for TCU to end up in a conference that has become more stable and not tainted with the stigma of a weak strength of schedule, so be it. Let My Little Pony have her day as a lower level team in CUSA version 2.0, then.

So, originally, your little birdie said that we would get an invite Tuesday. However, when Tuesday approaches, your little birdie says that TCU will get an invite later in the week.
Is Harold Camping your little birdie?

Well, in looking around I see an almost full bottle of Smirnoff, an unopened Borat DVD that includes a "glorious Khazistan" t-shirt, my daughter's Hannah Montana bike helmet that is getting a little small on her, and a cool looking two dollar bill. I would also be willing to make some of my chocolate chip cookies to seal the deal.
