In the conference championship game. One year their coach turned around their program. Sawvel is a LOSER and Tom Burman is a BUM that needs to be FIRED

yes, this mostly speaks to how actually BAD the MWC is. Even if they don't make the title game they had a tremendous season and had the fewest number of returning players in the league. You can really win in this league by just keeping your team focused and playing hard. It almost doesn't matter who is on the team. For what we are paying coaches and administrators, there is no excuse to not be winning.

This negates about every external factors argument. You can't convince me that Albuquerque has a major advantage over Laramie.

75 new players on the roster. Coaching and recruiting matter.

If somebody says coaching doesn't matter and everything is pre determined by geography and population base... That person is an idiot. If somebody says that the only thing that determines outcomes in college sports is the ability of the coaches... That person is just as big of an idiot.

Whatever "external factors" that UNM faces.... That have overcome. Kudos. I feel the same about Sawful as I did before. He's not good. I don't think he'd be good at Boise State either.

UNM has no advantage over WYO other than people.

They seem to have a far better coach

Yep, with the right people, external factors are nothing more than an excuse machine for MWC teams with respect to MWC championships.

Better food at UNM if we are being honest.

Albuquerque might have some more things to do than Laramie, but UNM has never been a better place to play football. basketball maybe
