Some pros and cons to this.

More money and playing closer to the eastern time zone is a good change. However, being in Big 12 territory and having to travel further away from home is the downside.

I still wish we could get to play an SEC opponent one of these days for bowl games..

I would say probably yes, but there are a lot of great things to do down in San Antonio, like the River Walk among others. Not exactly San Diego, but definitely not El Paso. :lol:

Ever spent time in San Antonio? The weather may be different, but trust me, spend some time on the River Walk and you will have yourself one hell of a good time. Margaritas, Texas hospitality, and all sorts of good looking women.

In all fairness, no. But I have spent a lot of time in SD and its hard to imagine a more enjoyable place anywhere (bowl game location). I think the whole idea of playing in a dome just doesnt sit well..

Yeah San Diego is a great place, you'll get no arguement from me on that point. I hadn't thought of the Dome factor, and that's also a good point. Give SA a shot though, and if you have time, take a trip to Austin.
