And Vegas is so prolific with its massive support for UNLV. Montana gets more fans than you. But go F-yourself. WSU is well known for its travel to away games and Bowl games. But you don't care about that. 2 million+ people in your urban footprint and we kick your ass in attendance with our 40,000 Footprint?
I hope it happens. I think we can kiss P5 status goodbye, but, it would easily be the top G5 conference which would help some with the playoffs expanding.
Thanks bud.
Thanks bud.
And we have some dipshits on my board. Not sure if they rise to the level of Scrub and Tripoda though. Wah hah hah!
Love your Avatar (?) pic buddy. Demure, virtuous young ladies that we would all be proud to take home to mom.
I've looked at it the same way. As of right now I would love to have WSU and OSU in the conference. I think that they would help with the Media money. But, part of me worries that WSU would turn into another University of Idaho if they don't make positive moves to firm up a conference whether it's merging with us or just rebuilding. I worry about what will happen to them if the transfer portal cleans them out.
With Trip most often I wish I had some type of translation device to understand what he is saying.
Now, why you want to drag U of Idaho into this? Maybe @Loyal Coug1 let slip about the Battle of the Palouse and the Losers Walk tradition they need to bring back. Or maybe there's some indignity about Idaho having previously been a member of the Pacific Coast Conference, the predecessor to the PAC-12, whose history the PAC counts as it's own. Or maybe it's just cuz things like TV and market size have become more important than things like tradition, quality of education, and the like. All said, Idaho has definitely slid down the bannister, but they're where they need to be now, back in the Big Sky.
lol. I was thinking more in terms of Idaho dropping from FBS to FCS. I would hate to see that happen to Wazzu. I don't really think it would. I should have added "no disrespect to the U of Idaho". They are both good academic schools.
I hope it happens. Adding 2 good schools like WSU and OSU would only help IMO. The MWC media contract I believe is only 2 years out (2025), so if they couldn't renegotiate it now, I would think it would be a higher value on the new contract.
But don't you think WSU and OSU will want all the increase for themselves? Similar to a Boise situation. If so, why bring them in?
Would they want it? Sure, who wouldn't? But what other options do they have in this case? Do a new media deal that's equal for all parties, but have incentives for teams that make the NCAA basketball or major bowl games or something.
I would like to know what Craig Thompson agreed to with the BSU arrangement. Is it for the life of the conference or does it end at the end of the current media contract. I had seen some media articles where BSU threated to sue the conference if their arrangement is discontinued at the end of the current media contract.
No worries. They were trying to follow BSU's lead from FCS to FBS, but it just didn't work out for them. They'll never have the resources for FBS. Even one of their most prominent alumni, Mark Schlereth, campaigned for them to go back to FCS. "It's where they belong, where students can travel to most league away games."
A little before my time buddy. But great article. It was apparently pretty crazy back in the day. We play those guys in 2024.
I went to the UNLV @ Idaho football game which I think was about 5 years ago at the Kibbee dome. No beer available to purchase except they had one section reserved for donors or such where only they could get a refreshing beverage. Bastards.
Yeah - for a year or two the hard ass Idaho Higher Ed Board banned tailgating. Some (probably LDS) bitch spearheaded it.
Vegas is a TON more than just gambling. Restaurants, entertainment, nightlife, and great outdoors options all really close by. Everyone should experience the madness of the strip once at least--but don't waste money on tables if you don't gamble. See shows, music acts, go watch 44 games in a good sportsbook at once, eat at world class restaurants, and wander and people watch. But for most of us, one time on the strip is generally enough haha.
Are you going to pull your trailer behind your truck to Vegas? You dont need to haul your house around, we do have hotel rooms in Vegas.
I have a camper that fits just nicely on my Chevy Silverado. Self contained too.
Funny how anyone would make jokes about campers, RV's, etc... My neighbor has an RV that cost around $250K.
Thanks bud. We have a couple of f-heads on my site. I'm kind of a fun-loving guy who talks a little smack on occasion, but mostly in fun. Guys that need to talk shit and insult others don't do much for me. Is your life so horrible that you need to go to go to a message board to vent it?
I just can't see that, but to each his own. A lot of "snowbirds" up my way have them for winter down your way. I do like my camper and 1996 Chevy, but after my disastrous trip toward CSU (another thread?) have not driven it. My ex-ex GF had a Class A that she got on the cheap from her parents. It had a huge side mirror in the bedroom. I will leave the rest to you nasty Vegas boys imaginations.
I flew to Asia with just a backpack and with my passport and some money for two weeks. Chills out with the locals and render my services a few hours a day and flew back home. Since clothes are made there, I just purchase what they have for sale and blend in.
I flew to Asia in the early 70's courtesy of Uncle Same. He paid for everything. Only problem was I regularly got shot at by a bunch of guys trying to kill me.
Thank you for your service, Sir! Happy Veteran's Day, Sir. Personally, I love reading your comments everyday. Keep it coming...
Same sentiments as the other guy. I was too young for that.
I had a nephew who went to school thee and I got to a couple of games. Really nice experience.
