Bronco on the Holy War: Clean it up or Cut it

I say we work to get a high quality non-conference game each year in November (NOT UTAH) so that we can have a break from playing the New Mexico's of the MWC.

BYU is going to be playing Boise State the last regular season game every year from 2011 on, whether we like it or not. The MWC has deemed it so.

Not true. What was said is that BSU will fit into the Utah slot as far as annual scheduling goes. But did not say the game has to be the last of the year. I mean, we play AFA week 2 this year, not some set game every year. I have no problem with BSU filling the Utah spot as far as home-away goes for each team each year, but no reason to play them last. Let's play them late October, TCU early October, AFA last.

Why would you want to play air force at hte end of the year? you want a game with national implication that will get some hype. that was one reason why the byu/utah game was so great at the very end. playing bsu at the end of the year would be pitting two of the three best teams against each other. that game will usually have conference championship implications. beside who else in the conference is a rival of ours? i would say boise state is already more than anybody else.
