Wasn’t Northwestern St a big rivalry with Sfa . I realize they moved up but do they still play? Do you guys prefer the WAC over the Southland? SFA and NWST is/was a big rivalry, but SFA/Sam is bigger. We aren't playing in football this year and not sure when we will play again. We are playing them in basketball this year. As for the WAC/Southland debate, I'll take the WAC 100 times out of 100. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like the same at all The WAC has a vision that the Southland did not have It has a strong history of success and is much better positioned for the inevitable Div1 changes that are coming in football It is a possible 2 bid basketball conference While SFA and SHSU fans may argue and trade jabs I think the vast majority of both fan bases were in agreement with this move for the betterment of both schools. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefinitelY a better move for both schools. South land was/is content with the status quo.
