First less than 10 win season in 8 years (8-5) and they're "slowly falling off the football world"?

You have to excuse those who would like to see Boise fall into a volcano like yesteryear...lol

Lol, There's "fans" here that think they already have.... I think it will be an interesting next couple of years for sure....

When has this happened? I'm not saying it hasn't, but when has a P5 team refused to play a G5 in a bowl game? They may not be happy about it, but I've never heard of a team, any team, turning down a bowl game....

but i agree with attackcoog, that id consider a mwc champ vs AAC champ for G5 spot to have complete control of our own destiny but that won't happen the potential lawsuit from the mac/sunbelt/c-usa would prevent that

Im not really saying that. What Im saying is we have our top teams regularly schedule top MW teams every year during OOC. Fresno, SDSU, and Boise---Those are the most solid performers in the MW. Then we have it within our power to slap a loss on them during OOC play reducing their chances of finishing undefeated and giving the selection committee a way of gauging the relative strength of the two conferences. Id rather have the ability to control our own fate rather than hoping the committee sees that we are the better conference. If we play and beat them---the committee doesn't have to guess.

I'd support that and think it would be a hell of a game every year. No doubts after that....

Lets get one thing clear here... I don't have anything against Boise St... And I'm not about to reduce my views on anyone if I think their fire is slowly running out... Including Houston and/or USC for that matter.

Do 2 things: (1) Out perform MWC teams and (2) ignore them.
