Yes, there will me a bit of an increase in $ and maybe it will translate to a little more bowl inclusion, but if you think the fans are going to get up to see games against random schools you're wrong. Appy State was the best in the SBC and at no point was I ever like "hell yeah, I'm looking forward to the App State game." It just doesn't happen. There are maybe 3 teams in the AAC that will be interesting, The rest will just sorta exist as generic opponents. There is a vast difference between what looks good on paper and what is good from a visceral standpoint. BSU fans will miss Nevada, Fresno, etc. I know because I've been missing those fukkers since the WAC folded. If the world was a perfect place and Idaho got to choose between the MWC and the AAC with more money, there would not be a millisecond of hesitation before I picked the MWC. Plus, I'm not sure if BSU's savage rivalry with UCF trumps its savage rivalry with SJSU. It just does not compute. We miss playing them too. But.... We hardly play Nevada and Fresno State anymore. Not like they put up a big fight to keep the rivalries going either. That's on Boise State and those schools. Or........maybe people on the board are right. Boise State only cares about themselves.

I asked why, he said because of the potatoes. I said, if not summer, then maybe for the potato bowl (which I watched and may have added to his idea).

Ibanez Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Avalos is in Boise or at least will be. Talks were happening Thursday and Friday. I'm at work so I can't get into the details but Avalos should be named either today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teappotts Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 This is taking way too long for a coach(Avalos) that was identified right after Harsin left.

He gets a pay raise, and gets to return to his home State of Texas. Also...probably a good move if he wants to be a head coach. Texas has so many more football jobs than Utah. If he does well, maybe he'll land a head coaching job in CUSA or the Sun Belt? Guy is an amazing Offensive Line coach. He worked with Baylor's head coach at LSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most potatoes are grown in eastern Idaho, not around Boise. If he wants to come to Idaho, I would not recommend this time of year. September/October is nicest- or summer if you don't mind the heat.
