Re: We're back in the Arizona Bowl

This bowl has location, date and opponent going for it. The "announcers" got tiresome last year, when they ran out of schtick half way through the second quarter and when they got past their fourth shot or whatever they were doing. Yeah, I'm "old" but I would have tuned them out ...

Re: OSU and WSU open a crack in the MWC door...

Whether the Pac 2 want to "poach" MWC schools, or one conference merges into the other will be pretty much 100% dictated by media contracts.

And the MWC contract is up in 2026, I believe. PAC doesn't even have one.

Re: Kolbey Taylor

If you think about it, Jesus was a transfer portal guy too. Yup. Jesus wants everyone on his team :D He's going to have to step up the NIL game. All the money seems to be going to a few saints and other old dead guys. Boise targeted Taylor. They knew the score and they abused him. Maybe he'll get h...

Re: Bowl Game

I will be happy with pretty much any bowl game, but don't want: - Hawaii Bowl - Great destination for the players, but it's in front of an empty stadium, without marching bands, early in the day. It's just not an exciting game. - Arizona Bowl - Barstool Sports. 'nuff said. I just don't need another ...

Re: Good Team Alert - Volleyball

The cowgirls wrecked UNM at home yesterday. Nice result, against a team just ahead of them in the standings. It didn't affect the final standings before the conference tourney, but good to see it.

Re: Good Team Alert - Volleyball

VB Cowgirls have had a much more productive second half of the season. There is a scenario for them to move up to 5th place in the conference, with matches against the three teams immediately ahead of them.

Re: Good Team Alert - Volleyball

It seems that the team overall is pretty young, with a lot of FR and SO contributing (esp. Barwell). In the matches I've watched, they are cleaning up mistakes and becoming more consistent, which is why they have done better in their last three or four matches. Fair disclosure: my knowledge of VB i...

Re: Wyo @ AF game thread

Stating the obvious; our best chance of a conference championship is to win out. Then it doesn't matter if AFA loses or not, we'll just beat them in the championship game.

Not many teams will have the advantage of coming off a bye, at home, with Waylee out like AFA had.

Re: Homecoming - UW vs New Mexico

Peasley looked great 1st quarter. So so rest of the game. The super nachos were wonderful. I don’t understand the inconsistency of calls from officials. Peasley gets hit when on the ground in the 1st half - no call. We get tagged, rightly fully so in 2nd half on Taylor’s late hit. PIs so inconsiste...

Re: San Diego Tribune article on Boise's unequal revenue distribution

It's all getting fuzzy, but back at the time the Big East was going to pull in Boise and SDSU, and the BYU project, I think the extra money for Boise is what saved the MWC.

Maybe if we reverse merge into the PAC-2 then it can go away.

Re: Early line vs. Texas

I will be happy to get out of Austin with Peasley on his feet, and healthy running backs. Of course, the little voice in my head says: "You never know what is possible...."

CU is going destroy CSU. They will not let up on the gas, and their skill players are second to none.

He was a larger than life figure at UW, who also managed to be approachable and involved outside of athletics. I'll miss him.

Re: Sheep are PAC12 Targets

Does anyone think we end up in the Big Sky and the MW dissolves? Hate to see it end like this but it appears that any school that can wants out of the MW is jumping ship. It's not likely that we would drop a division. But we could end up in a pretty bad Division 1 conference. Anyone thinking that f...
