It is too bad that Boise and TCU aren't in the same conference, they always play great games. I think the MWC under better leadership would have added Boise when they added TCU and would probably be a viable conference now.

KSU wins 53-50 in 4 OT. Poor aTm is still not bowl eligible."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

As much as some Utes and Cougar fans would hate it, just imagine this conference, not necessarily as the MWC, but how would some like this?Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostIt is too bad that Boise and TCU aren't in the same conference, they always play great games.

Utah
BYU
Boise State
TCU
San Diego State
Houston
Air Force
Hawaii
Nevada
Utah State
UNLV
New Mexico
A mix of MWC, C-USA, and WAC, but that would be a really good football and hoops conference. New Mexico and UNLV are your teams that help you get a couple wins in football, but are extremely valuable for basketball. It would easily become a BCS conference.Last edited by UtahJazzFan88; 11-12-2011, 05:50 PM.

Oregon vs. Stanford probably deserves its own thread, but I'll mention this here... A local columnist mentioned this morning that one should check out the field for tonight's game. Stanford last cut its grass (sounds like a euphemism, but it's not) a few days ago, and the mowers were intentionally set to high. Couple that with wet conditions, and Oregon's speed advantage may be minimized tonight.

I've never understood this. Doesn't it just make the slower guys really really slow?

I guess the theory is that a slow field hurts an Oregon-like offense more than Stanford's power-oriented O (yes, despite Luck, Stanford's O relies more on Clydesdales than thoroughbreds). I think it's a lousy move in any case; I want to see athletes at the best, rather than have a greenskeeper determine an outcome.Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View PostI've never understood this.

Why is it ridiculous? There's nothing wrong with it. ND did the same thing for SC in '05.Originally posted by UtahJazzFan88 View PostThat's ridiculous.

Utah will win out and play in the Holiday BowlOriginally posted by USU Coug View PostSo does Boise's loss mean there will be a rematch of last year in Vegas? Now Boise will feel the pain of being in the MWC. Sucks don't it.

UH has historically laid an egg in Tulsa, and that game would be scary given the struggles against LA Tech earlier this year. However UH has hit an incredible stride. Hopefully the to undefeated. It would be especially nice in a year where aTm had such high hopes.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostYeah, Tulsa might be a speed bump."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Tulsa has played amazing since C-USA play has started. They did play an out of conference schedule that was very tough too, against OU, OK. State, and Boise State.Originally posted by Moliere View PostUH has historically laid an egg in Tulsa, and that game would be scary given the struggles against LA Tech earlier this year.
