I love it!!! Bronco’s opening his mouth and putting out some fighting words! We need more of this kind of attitude from Bronco!

i think nick saban’s alabama crimson tide learned that lesson the hard way in last years sugar bowl. it’s one thing to say it, it’s another thing to prove it on the field. which max hall will show up vs tcu? the one vs okie or the one vs fsu. nobody likes this when i say this but byu has a loss. i’m pulling for tcu to win remaining games to represent the mwc in a bcs bowl. hopefully another shot at an sec team. just as i told the utah fans it is what is best for the conference. if byu had beaten fsu sure i would want them to romp all over tcu but that is not the case. i told block u the same thing if utah had beaten oregon i would want utah to beatdown tcu. that is not the case. we all want an automatic bid to the bcs right? the more teams the mwc can get to bcs bowls the greater chance we will get auto bid and maybe in five years a shot at a national title. peace out. ramble on!

1) I truly do not believe in locker room material. If I did, then this certainly wouldn’t qualify as such. BYU has every reason to beat them, they killed us last year. Memories of a broken heart and a thrashed ego go a lot further than a few petty words. While to me they are petty they are HUGE for Bronco! He’s very much an introvert and doesn’t voice his opinion much. This does a lot for our team when they hear there relatively quiet coach open up and inspire his team a bit. This comment goes waaaaay further for our guys then some bulletin board at TCU. Inspiration to beat a team comes from within the team… remember what TCU did all season in preparation for BYU? That’s inspiration!

2) Pull back the reins there cowboy! No matter what happens in any BCS bowl over the next 4 years no wins, losses, or jury is going to change anything with the BCS. We have a signed contract that solidifies that. What’s most important for all Non-Aq schools to do is win the games against BCS schools during the season and the bowls so when 2012 rolls around the MWC (there’s not another Non-Aq conference even close to MWC level) gets the nod. My guess is the BCS committee will require us to kick a couple teams out and bring a couple teams in (i.e. BSU, Fresno, Nevada come in… SDSU, UNM, WYO out) to make us a legit conference (better than Big East, ACC, but equal to Big X, Pac 10 (outside of USC), and Big XII (again outside of UT & OU)). Bowl wins against the big guys are great but the bowl wins against all the rest are waaaay more important.

If TCU ends up winning out and goes BCS and wins then great! If they don’t then I hope their loss comes at Provo. Really our BCS hopes are very much alive. If BYU were to win and (I’m not saying it will happen but I hope) Boise St were to lose then BYU’s in…. even with 1 loss. Shoot, if Oregon were to tank and OU were to pick things back up some analysts think BYU can jump BSU. Boise is as high as they’ll ever make it, their schedule isn’t going to help them move up but BYU’s has tons of potential to make it back into the top 10.

That statement is odd. The main reason it is because BYU finished third last year and are not the defending champs. If BYU had won the league last year which would have made it 3 straight conference titles then that makes, but they did not so no clue for the reason. Is that show available on podcast, and if so about what time did he say that? I would like to hear how the question was presented and his response.

It is become obvious that the road to the MWC title goes through TCU this year.

I really think we will see a three way split, unless one of the top 3 lose to someone unexpected in conference.

How is it so obvious the road to the MWC goes through TCU? That’s the advantage that both Utah and BYU have over TCU on alternating years is they get the other two (TCU, BYU at Utah or TCU, Utah at BYU) at home. Since 2006, BYU’s conference home record has been phenomenal: 13-0, with their overall home record during that same time 18-1. So, when BYU gets TCU and Utah at home the championship does, in fact, go through BYU.

Utah playing TCU decides the winner? TCU will handily win that game but TCU may as well be playing SDSU because thats how close that games going to be.

Curious… who do you consider the top 3 in the MWC? The way I see it Utah will lose to BYU, TCU, AFA, and CSU. This year there is only the top 2, the winner of that game goes undefeated in conference and takes the championship. And because that game is being played in Provo “the conference championship will go through BYU.”

Funny thing I heard this week from DJ & PK who are Ute lovers. This week they were talking about how Witt said they were going to “hit the ground running” with the new RB corp they have. Then DJ said the only thing that’s “hit the ground” this year has been Terrance Cains passes. So much for your “star” recruit.

and realize that this years Frutes are nowhere close to prior years and that this years TCU is much better than any team they’ve ever had. To top it all off the game will be in Ft Worth. Far from the comforts of your tiny stadium.

I do see TCU “handily” beating Utah… 34-7. Cain blows and you have no running game going up against the #1 rushing defense in the nation. So much for the spread O.

I do agree with you though, you are not BYU. We will beat AFA, TCU, and You… not to mention that we also beat CSU, something Frutah won’t do.

FYI, I hear Jazz season tickets are still on sale. Give yourself something to look forward to and pick some up.

max hall throws at least 2 interceptions and gets sacked 4 times and hurried 9 times courtesy of jerry hughes and daryl washington. the crack on the stadium is uncalled for too. i have been to 25 fbs stadiums. utah’s stadium is better than all of them. rice eccles stadium is not only an olympic stadium it is the only place you can see peaks over 10,000 feet on both sides of the valley. the wasatch front (east)and the oquirrhs (spelled close enough, west) while watching a college football game. when espn or sporting news ranks the stadiums they only go on tradition and how big they are. ever been to the swamp. it’s a piece of zhit. i have been to cougar stadium. it’s better than alot of stadiums but the mountains are not as pretty in provo. when they played that tcu game last year that place was louder and more electric when they won than any stadium i have been in. the only place i could compare it to is husky stadium when they beat usc a few weeks ago. i like the whole mountain west conference. tcu is by far the best team and will go undefeated. game vs airforce will be tricky b/c weather will be very cold(mid 20’s by late second quarter) and snowing last time i checked. byu had their chance vs fsu. they blew it. utah had their chance at oregon they blew it. i want tcu to represent the mwc in a bcs bowl game. preferably vs an sec team. peace out. ramble on!

Wolfman has finally come out of the closet… he’s a FRUTE! Wolfman, you and all your Frutes are the only people in all of college football that would say that your stadium is better than BYU’s. The setting in Provo is far more gorgeous because you can actually see the 10k ft peeks from inside the stadium… all you can see from yours is the small little rollers.

You’ve clearly never been to Colorado Springs. Hands down the #1 stadium in the MWC, and in my top 10 for the country. Absolutely gorgeous setting!

The lives and “scenery” of your Boise brethren are so sad that they had to add the only color that’s not a shade of brown and create that nasty smurf turf. BTW, the first column in the link was “Atmo”, meaning atmosphere. Meanining scenery, fans, etc. Check it again my WAC bro.

The funny thing about your comment is that lake you critisize flows the same water as your precious Salt Lake. Me personally I’d rather look out at Geneva (only from the NE corner, if at all) then to have to look out to Tooele and West Valley.

BTW, how did we lie about your stadium? Is 46k supposed to be a lot?

Scramble on wolfman!

actually they have about 10 times since the renovations were made for the winter olympics. it was not even a byu/utah game that brought out the most people. it was a cal game that 46,768 people went to. peace to my mwc brothers. scramble and ramble on! it’s like i’m the qb around here and nobody likes it so i do have to do a little scrambling around here. peace out.
