I like winning more than I like losing.

I play basketball most Friday mornings. And guess what - there is no championship at the end of the game, or at the end of the month, or at the end of the year.

But - and this is going to shock some people - I play to win. Every. Single. Game. Every game.

Weird, isn't it? Sometimes people just want to win games, and can still play hard to win even if they aren't going to get some weak MWC Mountain Division trophy at the end of the season.

This is correct. Also, we likely wouldn't make that much less money than we

I agree, but for slightly different-- or maybe the same-- reasons.

The "tired" of independence is not so much about making the playoffs...

I'm glad you clarified that you like winning. That helps a ton.

Some people believe, for whatever reason, that the players are OK losing.

Would it look different if that was New Mexico St?

In the AAC, we wouldn't be playing NMSU. We'd be playing Boise, Navy, UCF, USF

Boise isn't in the AAC. And BYU is already playing them in Oct.

Eddie

This entire scenario is predicated on us joining the AAC with them.

I totally agree with you about the players. I'm mostly talking about fans.

But our season isn't decided yet. We're still fighting for bowl eligibility
