It’s the summer doldrums.  Not a whole lot else to talk about.

I know, can we just get to the football?  The debate on where bowl games and conference tournaments should be played is just a bunch 💩 spewing out of people’s mouths that they think will change the fortunes of a conference no one cares about. If you want to make noise do it on the field like Utah and TCU did while they were here.

July is already killing me

These are our terms:

1.  A Boise TV deal guarantee.  Like Boise, we'd need a guarantee that BYU makes at least 3 times what every other MWC school earns, as well as guaranteed ESPN games.

2.  A written apology from Wyoming.  Their fans are abusive and brutes.  Outrageous behavior!  They need to be humbled and apologize before this goes anywhere!!!

3.  A commitment from SJSU, Wyoming, and USU that they will start making their athletic departments competitive in the MWC.  Open the wallet guys.

4.  Hair Thompson fired, and Bob Kustra immediately hired as the MWC Commissioner.

5.  The MWC football conference championship played in New Mexico for the next 10 years.  UNM/Albuquerque being the host city for 8 years, and 2 years at NMSU / Las Cruces.  Game would be called the Land of Enchantment Conference Championship.

6.  SDSU gets to host the basketball conference championship moving forward.

7. Free Aggie Ice Cream served during all conference events and meetings.

You're the very best at what you do, stunner.

I think if BYU's football team was doing well (10+ wins, ranked) and their Bball team could win at least one conference title, things might be better for them. But the football team is fairly irrelevant, and they can't win a Bball championship. Not helping things.

All the sucess BYU had in the MWC was against MWC teams. When it came to OCC P5 games they lost.  They couldn’t play with the big boys. Now that they are independent it’s more of the same.  All the wins are against G5 and all the L’s are against P5.  And they wonder why they get left out?  It’s politics!  It’s the church!  No it’s not.

But that one time against Oklahoma

BYU will go 3-0 during our MWC Football season, and 3-1 during our MWC Basketball season.

 

Football:

USU - BYU win

Hawaii - BYU win.  Mahalo.

Boise - BYU has got to beat Boise.  BYU win.

 

Basketball:

UNLV - a home game for BYU basketball.  BYU win.

Reno - BYU win.

USU - the USU fans will be cheering for BYU.  BYU win.

SDSU - BYU loses this one.  Chad Bunn will be irate.

Here’s Gordon Monson’s take from a couple of days ago (this may be posted elsewhere on the board but I haven’t seen it):

BYU will never swallow their pride. Pride is a BYU specialty. They're the Notre Dame of the west, for heaven's sake!

Hence they will never admit they're wrong and rejoin. They'd rather join the Conference USA.

Agree with CV147 to a point. BYU won't be returning to the MW UNLESS Gonzaga still decides to join AND UNLESS the B12 doesn't lose OU, KU and perhaps another one or two members five or so years from now.

That said, BYU athletics are horribly mismanaged. The only logical reason an inept doofus like Holmoe continues to be employed is because he's a member of the tribe.

BYU football attendance needs to get back to 65,000.  The current 58,000 is unacceptable.

BYU basketball is fine.  17,000.   No other basketball program out west has as good of attendance.  If SDSU expanded their arena, SDSU would be number 1 in fan attendance.

We are proud.  Real proud.  I agree with you.

The AAC has invited BYU twice since BYU went Indy, and BYU politely declined.  CUSA is a friend.  ESPN is committed.  

The MWC has not invited BYU back, with Wyoming threatening a veto.  The front rangers won't have it, and are focused instead on the declining population of Wyoming.  Wyoming just started a "we need more cowboys" ad campaign, begging young people to move to their State.  The ad campaign has been criticized as racist by Wyoming professors...

But right now, BYU owes it to Gonzaga and the WCC.  Gonzaga stayed in the WCC out of loyalty and integrity.  No MWC school can offer Gonzaga what BYU can in the WCC.  The plan for the WCC is to seize control of the Denver market, by expanding and adding Denver U, and also adding Grand Canyon / Phoenix.  It will be two, huge markets.  Within 5 years.

For football, it is crucial that BYU continues to schedule the MWC.  We need long term deals with Boise and USU.   Hawaii is a dream opponent for BYU as well.  Hawaii is a sleeping giant.  Hoping that BYU can throw some cash Hawaii's way to get a deal done.

Reno is in for a rude awakening.  BYU will beat UNR in hoops.  Mark your calendars.
