Boise State must feel like an acne-stricken, socially awkward teenager with terrible BO and horse-killing halitosis who just wandered into the "mean girls" corner of a high school dance floor.
Only days after actually finally getting punked by a conference-mate in the craptastic WAC, TCU vacates the room as well leaving the Broncos without any of the added cachet of the MWC's Big Three, and w/o ESPN - but with the added downside of being in a conference w/o headliners but with more middle-tier teams that could occasionally step up and beat them.
Chris Petersen can be credited w/ superhuman achievement in taking BSU to the upper tier and keeping them there for so long - but I think the eventual reality is unavoidable. Like the Far Side cow who stands up and says to her friends "hey!!! this is grass!!! we've been eating grass!!" BSU is just a few losses away from recruits starting to say "this is Boise?!? we've been committing to mf Boise!!"
