Boise is not a State

Because their fans are pathetic enough to make fake accounts on other fans board

Drivings a great profession. Lots of reasons to crap on Boise but thats not one.

It’s called “driving truck”.

All they have is football. Bad academics, tiny market and all other sports suck.

Still upset about losing to us in hoops last year, I see.

And when have you been in the Dance, exactly?

Much like when I was single, we've been invited a few times but we're not very

Can you expound on why you believe Boise State has bad academics? Just curious.

Check out the Tony Altimore’s presentation on conference realignment. BSU’s

TerpCoug

Who is that and what makes him an expert on BSU academics?

Dread Pirate Westley

10/10/21 8:21pm

He’s a consultant and they specifically studied fit of schools in the big 12.

TerpCoug

10/10/21 8:27pm

I've worked with a lot of consultants. Some are good, most are not.

Dread Pirate Westley

10/10/21 8:30pm

Throw out the ones that don’t tell me what I want to hear. Great strategy.

TerpCoug

10/10/21 8:34pm

Tell me this - was he hired by the Big 12 to produce the report, or is this

Like it or not, his metrics are still sound. Boise is not a good school yet.

Here's the thing about his academic metrics. He ranks the military academies on

Yet, Boise was passed over for Houston. BYU scored really well in spite of

If the new B12 expands again Boise is in. Mark it down. They want FB schools.

jimmything

10/10/21 8:45pm

I’ll be happy when it does. I wanted BSU over Houston.

TerpCoug

10/10/21 8:50pm

Just cause your school wins a couple football games doesn’t make them good at academics.

zsmooth

You sound bitter.

Dread Pirate Westley

10/10/21 8:30pm

Boise is great for Football, but Presidents care about more than that.

TerpCoug

10/10/21 8:37pm

New B12 is NOT sweating academics.

jimmything

10/10/21 8:46pm

It had to factor in somewhere, though. Otherwise take Boise State over Houston.

TerpCoug

Houston has a billionaire that made it his mission to get them in. That's the

Dread Pirate Westley

10/10/21 9:04pm

So does Memphis but how much did that help them?

TerpCoug

10/10/21 9:07pm

Apparently not enough. Do you think a billionaire backer would have helped BSU?

Dread Pirate Westley

10/10/21 9:11pm

Maybe maybe not. Not to say it doesn’t help, but it’s not a guarantee.

TerpCoug

10/10/21 9:14pm

At least I’m not running away.

That's good, you're probably a little too old to run away from home.

You know they don’t actually have a truck school right?
