I like this one a lot. Not sure what chance we have getting him as Wisconsin, Illini, and Oregon are after him. I see him fit in with us as an instant starter at linebacker. He would get a lot of visibility with us. But, I don't think our chance is good to land him. You never know those A4 schools might just want him for depth and his playing time might be limited. He needs to be a Rebel.

Ok. We'll see in a couple years..

Personally the PAC top to bottom has the most schools with upside and potential.

We have Reno and UNM.

I just think that neither league is better than the other. That its a lot more balanced than people think and balanced meaning mediocre. I think that the money that people keep throwing around isnt going to be there and even if its a few extra million dollars, youre giving Boise the benefit of the doubt while everyone else is mediocre. I think both leagues suffer from institutions that ignored football and the ones who had success early tried to leave almost a decade ago when they were relevant but havent been able to get anywhere near that since except for Boise. We spent a lot of years in that mediocrity to down right terrible but finally decided to start spending money and taking it seriously.

It wasn't jsut Boise. We were ranked ahead of Army even with 2 losses, and many had us ahead of Tulane with both with 2 losses, though the CFP ranking did not.

NIU doesn't move the needle much for me. They were a 100+ level team. It doesn't seem that their brand draws a lot of eyeballs. Being in another timezone is nice but does it matter if you are grabbing a small fan base with it?

They are upper middle team in a conference that is worth less media value than the current MW. At best they would be the average value if the new MW with all factors considered

Ww also played a much tougher schedule than Army and Tulane. We beat 2 P4 programs on the road, we had 2 combined losses by 8 points. Our schedules were not the same and that's why with 2 losses we were able to stay in Top 25. Our conference is full of mid-tier to bottom feeders and the vaunted Pac 12 is going to be taking several of those.

The only reason that the AAC wasn't in front of the MWC was due to BSU having a very high rating due to the one game played verse Oregon. Remove BSU and the rest of the MWC didn't do anything. When the MWC breaks to the PAC, they will have BSU and a bunch of SCRUBS (sorry, pun intended!). Depending on being able to get NIU and one other team from back east, I do not believe there will be that noticeable of a difference between the MWC and the PAC on a national level. The bottom line is that UNLV must be as good as they were this year or better. As for BSU, remove the wins over UNLV, and they didn't beat a single team ranked in the top 40.

Indiana didn't belong unfortunately. Neither did Bama or the next teams, but Indiana getting beat by Ohio St and ND handle in their toughest games shows it. Boise probably going to have a back to earth moment as well

He also fell short on one in Boise in the cold.I have to imagine conditions played a role in it.

Kicking in a dome and not dealing with the elements has to be easier overall. Not just from the actual kicking but the snap and hold as well.

There was an actual Harvard study on it in for the NFL (Good to see those outrageous tuition costs are studying things that matter!)

'Not surprisingly, there is a strong association between kicking indoors and greater FG success. From distances of greater than 20 yards, being indoors is strongly associated with higher FG success. And the significance of this association appears to increase along with the length of the FG attempt.'

It did go on to say that after 50 yards there wasn't much difference. Having more to do with kickers leg strength. But from 20 yards to 49 yards significantly easier kicking in doors.

Wait a second. You're talking about guys who kick? As in the 'French Commies' you despise guys who kick?

Please take some time away from these boards and enjoy some fresh air.

If you have a chance to go and play for Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Alabama, Georgia.............etc. it has to be hard to consider any other programs. Such an environment.

The program is in a bubble. No sound comes out of that bubble.

Fury weighed in at 281, 19 pounds more than he did in the first fight. I think Fury is going to lay on him and finish him with a 10 round KO.

My roommate saw the first fight. I didn’t pay attention.

Man Gervonta Davis cancelled. Ain’t nobody watching him fight nobodies.

They are, they said they want to be together. Also agreed, unless they REALLY miss home then we can’t afford them.

I'd ask the writer; what connection does he have to Martyn? The branch bros were easy to connect because of Gorman but that's a pipe dream.

Absolutely. Every time, UNLV Football is on ESPN and FS1, for interviews.
It, is great advertisement for our program.
National press, is awesome for high end recruits looking at UNLV.

He has been on more media in the last 2 weeks than Odom would be on in a year. Every time you turn around you find another Mullen clip. This is what gets your name and image out to all the recruits that love video and social media!

Being from Hawaii, it would be a good connection with the 9th Island and also with playing Hawaii in Las Vegas next year.
