If Oklahoma loses to OSU tomorrow, the big 12 looks to lack a team that gets into the playoff. If this occurs, the conference will feel forced to expand. As for BYU being willing to schedule USU? Uh... Can nobody remember how badly USU had been treated prior to BYU independence? Remember how they go...

Good point. For the same reasons you want your Texas raised kids to become a keys, I want my Arizona raised kids to become a Aggies as well. And I'm sure there's many die hard SEC fans who want their children to to attend there school of choice as well. Nevertheless I still feel like if the numbers ...

How many people on this board would have gone to USU if it did not have sports, how many wouldn't have gone to USU if it didn't have D1 FBS sports? I can with absolute certainty that USU would not have been on my radar if it had no football or basketball. I'd wager there would be a significantly sl...

I think a lot of the academic profile of a school will become almost irrelevant in the future. Including the PAC12 and BIG10. Conferences will make decisions based heavily, if not solely on a school's marketability and potential revenue. The tire between college athletes and academics is getting loo...

Matt wells hasn't done enough just yet to warrant a P5 job. He's been successful at maintaining a program that had already been turned around, with the majority of kids that were recruited under the previous coach's tenure. He doesn't have a great resume against P5 schools, and honestly is benefitin...

Our 3 losses stink, but we also beat a then ranked 18 BYU on the road and with a win tomorrow, a second road victory over a ranked opponent. I like USU's chances of getting the ny6 game if they win the next two. However we'd be WAY over matched in a ny6 game. Personally, my dream bowl would be the b...

Now if only Nick can kick a field goal...

So if I understand the structure of this coming season correctly, the conference champion, from the highest rated non-power 5 conference, gets a BCS bowl? Interesting part of that structure, is it gives us a reason to root for any team in the MWC when they play out of conference. For fun, I looked a...

Too bad. USU needs to get the top Utah kids.

The BEST Utah kids(4 and 5 stars) it seems rarely go to USU, Utah, or BYU. But do you ever wonder how power schools, who successfully recruit and then start players that are 4-5 stars, still can't put together winning seasons? And that they can't pass the eye test of being called "good"? I would sug...

Not that you ignore talent, whether it comes from California or elsewhere, but USU had a healthy % of CA players during the miserable years prior to Coach Andersen. Andersen's recruiting formula? Be the number one recruiter of Utah kids, Increase the # of poly's, get an established mission program. ...
