If you get healthy and win out, it's a much more viable argument. You have USU, AF and possibly SDSU left. Cincy has Temple, Memphis and their CC left. BSU has more brownie points left on the table, have to be perfect though. I heard on ESPN radio that Cinci QB (don't remember the name) might miss the rest of the season due to shoulder and arm injury. Anyone else hear that? Could Boise stumble their way into the NY6?

Right now, he doesnt - because these rankings mean shit. Only the last one matters. So come 2 or 3 weeks from now, perhaps that will change. Maybe. People seem to forget that when the MWC had something to sell to the public in that regard, it was Thompson who led the charge. I remember it, even if few others do. And I noticed you completely ignored the post that killed your numbers argument. Shocking. I really don't get the argument being made here. The computers like Cinci better due to having a better loss, same reasoning the pollsters have. The bearcats will likely drop a game anyway. Still a lot of season left, if Boise finishes 12-1 after the MWCCG I would have a problem should Craig not publicly advocate for Boise. I doubt either happens. That we make it to 12-1 with so many key players banged up or that Hair would fail to advocate for us should we, for all his ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAC_FAN Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hair is both not that great and seemingly not very available to the media. I remember when the WAC was around, the media always called Karl Benson whenever they need a G5 quote/interview. Now it's Aresco. Even when he goes to MWC games he doesn't seem like he's available to do local media interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MWC presidents pay his salary and they obviously don't give a shit as long as member schools don’t politically embarrass the conference. Thompson has a cush job and salary we all wish we had. You make a great point. Maybe our criticism of Hairball is misplaced. Maybe it should be directed at his idiot bosses. However, thatsmymammy also makes a good point. For the presidents athletics is a secondary responsibility so it's really the athletic directors who are s. Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presidents can't agree on anything, thus it looks like Thompson lacks leadership and is unable to provide direction. Not saying Thompson is great, he is not and far from inspiring but I think we need to come to grips with the fact that collectively, MWC presidents are shit here. We won't do that though because every school's fans here are happy with "their" president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no say in retaining Thompson either. The buck stops with the Presidents who vote on things, even though I am sure they get input from their AD's.

I believe that Thompson will retire soon though. 1-3 years. He publicly stated he wanted to handle this TV negotiation and wouldn't retire until that was done. Once that is done, I doubt he hangs around too much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aresco is constantly getting the word out about the AAC and it works. Look at one of the other posters said citing Danny Kannell and his take on the AAC and Aresco. I listen to ESPNU radio in the car, it's 95% cfb and they talk a ton about the AAC, the MWC..not so much and that's 'cause of Aresco. I honestly can not for the life of me believe that a Thompson apologist exists, you're like a retarded unicorn. Go to https://sports.yahoo.com/ hoover on NCAAF tab and box appears and says "Top Conferences" and it has 6 of them with logos and more. Guess which one G5 is listed with the P5 (hint ain't us).

Still avoiding your failed numbers argument. Without something to sell... In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I'm not a misogynistic hater of SDSU's new president but she replaced the excellent Jim Sterk with milquetoast JD Wicker apparently only because so many coaches went public to say what a nice guy he was in his first go-round at Montezuma Mesa. Steve Weber would have taken that into account but he learned enough about what a mistake hiring a nice guy can be from the Jeff Schemmel debacle that Wicker wouldn't have had the job in the bag if Weber was still around. As to other MWC schools, I don't know enough about most to venture an opinion. However, it sure seems as though the ones UNLV and SJSU have had have been miserable when it comes to athletics. Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
