the guys that get offers from both BYU and boise go to BYU

BSU is a farm team for us, like Utah, USU, Snow, Weber, etc

Yet, they are the ones in the playoff…

If BYU were in a G6 conference they would have gotten an auto bid too

All true… and I can’t help be a little jealous

You're missing the point that Boise State is an attractive program

No you are. We have no reason to fear them.

Have you seen Iowa’s offense play. Not exactly the #1 spot for QBs.

It took Kalani & Grimes to "mend some fences" with the Wilson's .

gopman

it took less than two weeks to flip him. That's pretty quick

MWC has the easiest path to the playoffs ever with this current system

I’ve never ever and will never hear a recruit say that he chose BSU

You can’t compare Indy to B12. We have a bigger advantage now

When they acquire mega donors then we pivot. Why wouldn't we? But for now, they aren't a worry.

HarlemCoug
