If anything, your posts are consistent......

Our recruiting class is #50 in the country, we've outrecruited several "BCS" schools. Yours however is one of the worst in the country.

You're right about being on totally different levels.

We have SWC heritage, UT-Juarez doesn't.
We have no problem getting guys with B1G, ACC and SEC offers. You guys get happy when you steal a recruit from an FCS school.
We have a BCS bid this season, you guys will never have to worry about that.
We are growing in academic prowess and are ranked in US and World News. You guys are a branch campus with a 99% admissions rate.
We had our choice of the MWC, nBE and possibly some other opportunities if the dominoes fall in the right places, you guys are stuck.
We have the correct leadership in place, I'm honestly not sure whether you guys do or don't.

Do I need to keep going?

Did Houston end up making the "best" choice???

Boise has already answered that question.

Without a western presence it made no sense for Boise. But keep trollin'.

That was far from trollin. It was a difference of opinion. Nothing more.

There was no western presence, because no western school wanted what the big east had to offer (AFA, UNLV, Fresno, etc). Add to that that there was no TV money, no AQ status, and the mwc was already a good conference to begin with

Seems to me that Boise had SDSU as a western presence. It was SDSU that made the move back because of no western presence.
