If you're Boise State, you need something to draw in recruits, because for all practical purposes they're a glorified junior college with a blue field.

1. The girls at BYU >>>>>> BSU

2. The football tradition at BYU and actual success of their players in the NFL >>>>>> Boises very short history and even shorter history of NFL success

3. If you think Provo is cold in the winter....

4. Bronco Mendenhall.....

5. The academics are night and day... in fact Boise has been put on blast for their football academics by the NCAA


so.... they have fancy gloves and jerseys..... sounds like a Napolean syndrome to me and it sounds like Jamal Williams recognized just that. No matter what BSUs football team does, they're a 2nd tier school and will always be. To me, they're the western version of Kansas State. A town that no one wants to go to, getting 2nd rate juco players mixed in with a few nice castoffs that other schools missed on. We'll never know how BSU would have done the last 5 years if they had played something even resembling a reasonably difficult regular season schedule.

This is only true to a certain extent. If you're only into looking at a ton of pretty girls then Provo is a very tough place. But if you looking into doing a little more than just look at a ton of pretty girls, then you may want to go somewhere else.

You can do more than look? :bug: Like, poke them on Facebook or something? They kept me in the basement of the Talmage building most of the time, so I considered myself lucky anytime I even had the opportunity to look. ;)


If the yewts take the field and there are no BYU fans to pour beer on, will anybody come?

Geez Craig, you're sounding like a BCS fan and their constant rant about all non-BCS teams--BYU included. Like BSU wouldn't have liked to have played a better schedule if that was an option.

Boise's OOC last five years:
2010: Virginia Tech, @ Wyoming, Oregon St, Toledo.
2009: Oregon, Miami (OH), @ Bowling Green, UC Davis, @ Tulsa
2008: Idaho St, Bowling Green, @ Oregon, @ Southern Miss
2007: Weber St, @ Washington, Wyoming, Southern Miss
2006: Sacramento St, Oregon St, @ Wyoming, @ Utah

A decent or two team a year. And some real dogs and a few FCS teams.

The WAC is horrible though. BS will get tested far more often in the MWC than they ever did in he WAC. TCU leaving after next year hurts them though. But AFA, and SDSU with Rocky will make things tougher because they still get to play Nevada and Fresno. The rest are dregs usually.

Utah just offered this kid. Looking more and more true that Utah is simply coat tailing BYU's efforts. How original of them. And here I thought they were so awesome at talent evals??

It's not a BCS thing, I have little to no respect for anyone that plays nobody in the non-con or con season... including Ohio State

BYUs schedule and Boise States schedule the last 5 years = night and day

BSU played in the WAC and often was lucky to play 1 top 25 team in an entire season.

What would BYU's record have been the last 5 years if we had played in the WAC and those cited non-con schedules?

It's much easier to get up for a big team when you know that the next three weeks you'll get cupcakes.
