Great post. MWC schedule on balance far less attractive.

because it came with MWC schedule type prices.

Fair critique. Can't argue with that.

Will my team be playing in those games? Then of course I'll be there.

DO people consider an MWC conf. championship something to still get excited for?

Well... yes. I mean, the MWC used to consist of Utah, TCU, and BYU as well

The way they prepared for the bowl game bothered you? In what way?

Iman23

4/16/14 10:51am

BYU prepared for the bowl game?

Borg

4/16/14 10:52am

Has there ever been a team that lost that did prepare?

Iman23

4/16/14 10:54am

True...but, if I remember correctly, we barely used our allotted practices

Borg

4/16/14 10:59am

Yup. Bronco followed the same pattern with the bowl game as he has for the last

Mikey

4/16/14 11:01am

I went to the game . They looked totally disinterested .

Frank Drebin

4/16/14 5:54pm

They used 6 practices from 11/30 to 12/27

concolor couguar

How many practices did they use in 2012? 2011? 2010?

4/16/14 11:05am

I dont know but they looked unprepared in 2/3 of those games

Washington was the only decent team of the three

I am not sure what your point is

concolor couguar

4/16/14 11:43am

The reason why we "looked prepared" against the other teams

4/16/14 11:49am

We didnt looked prepared against SDSU or Tulsa either

I think we're seeing a changing of the guard in terms of the fans in the stadium

Agreed. Professional sports is different, don't renew until a better product BUT

Sorry, it is time for people to move on from old and fading standards of the MWC

You're forgetting that with a MWC type schedule we should pay MWC prices.
