it we'd be stuck with watching our team on obscure channels and in my opinion not getting as good of recruits.

I am now more than ever against joining the Mountain West in FB (edit to include NY6 argument)

It’s easy to know just how much everyone would hate being in the MWC based on how much everyone dislikes this year’s

Not true. As a member of the WAC we brought in #1 Miami, Penn State,

The WAC was 20 years ago. Our schedules in the WAC have no bearing on today’s reality

It just depends on who you want to schedule. You look at years like 04'

Here’s boise’s 2018 home schedule

The potential to go to an NY6 game is the only argument that makes sense that makes sense to me. The whole conference

But my response to that is playing a crappy schedule for the opportunity to go to an NY6 bowl one every 20 years is not

Serious question? Is this a crappy schedule?

Cougarfan777

3/12/18 1:29am

No. But we didn't have those kind of games every year. If we could get those kind of pre conference games every year

I'm not sure I follow you. Is this a call to rejoin the WAC?

It means that even when we were in the WAC we were able to bring the the most

I don't agree at all. College football is very different today than it use to be

Why in the world do you think we'd consistently go 11-1? We rarely did it when

SWP

We will be closer to 11-1 instead of 4-9, and we will be in a NY6 discussion as

You suggest 2-4 P5 games a year. We haven't been able to consistently win those

Cougar777 at first I thought you were serious. Now I know you're just trolling.

I think Boise State is a better comparison than Utah state

ColonelMustard

Well Boise State at 11-2 made it, then Houston at 11-1, then western Michigan

Maybe we were the top team before they opened up the bcs to non power teams. but since then we haven't been the top

For years it was TCU, BYU, Utah, and Boise State

mosterlow

3/12/18 2:12am

ok. But what about recruiting though? Back then utah was with us in the mountain west. Now they are in the Pac 12. We

In 10 years, Boise has played a total of 5 P5 games at home

YIsForBrigham

I said they are a better comparison, and I see 5 in 5 years

mosterlow

3/12/18 2:09am

I understand what you’re saying and I would hope it’s true that we could get better games than Boise

Your point proves that G5 schools will NOT be able to schedule P5 schools like

CBSSports is reason enough to stay out of the MWC for football.

I’m excited about all of them. It’s BYU football. And we’re favored

The current MWC is not the MWC BYU left. That bridge burned long ago.

You're wrong about recruiting.

We're not going anywhere but down until we start winning, and joining the MWC isn't going to change that.

It might.
