Re: NAR: Seattle and Grand Canyon are part of the WCC

I'm shocked that the WCC took Grand Canyon. They are basically a diploma mill with a semi-professional athletics program attached. Back in the day, Denver left the WAC because they wanted nothing to do with Grand Canyon. I think this is a terrible move that could end up destroying the conference. M...

Re: Great Osobor

On a more realistic note, it would be completely reasonable for Osobor to pass up one year of big NIL money if he thought it would improve his chances of playing in the NBA. It may be that he will take more money if he can get it, but he is not interested in being a role player if it would tank his ...

Re: Chris Murray Thoughts

I'm not sure why I would give much credence to a writer who ranked USU as the seventh best team in the conference heading into the MW tournament last year. Maybe he foresaw the OT vs FSU and crapping the bed vs SDSU. Awesome year but the MWC tourney was a low point. Yeah, hate to say it, but we wer...

Re: Chris Murray Thoughts

Obviously, the premise of the article is weird. It definitely looks like a college sports writer needed to produce content during a time when there isn't much going in with college sports. That said, given the weird premise, I basically agree with his take. The reality is that assuming that Osobor l...

Hell if they can build a bullet train from LA to Las Vegas, they can get Front Runner over Sardine Canyon. But yea, I too think it's cost prohibitive.

Re: Will the Olympics finally get us a Provo to Logan Front Runner extetion?

No. My understanding is that the Front Runner will almost certainly never make it to Cache Valley because Sardine is too steep for rail lines. They would have to run it through Valley View, which, aside from being prohibitively expensive, would most likely mean no one would use it because it would b...
