I think it's because the program has plateaued a bit, no reason they did not try to join the Big 12 or Pac 12Iliketurtles;1548705 wrote:I figured after this year he would probably finally leave. UW is a great place for him. Hopefully he does a lot better than every other coach that left Boise. Although Dan Hawkins has one of my all time favorite rants. Really wish there could have been a video for it.
To me, it sort of reeks of "we had a good run, but in the grand landscape of CFB, we can't get any higher", so he went to a major conference team in hopes he can generate the same sort of success.SportsAndLady;1548692 wrote:Damn, didn't think he would wanna hold out for Washington
They wouldn't compete in any other sports if they joined the Big 12/Pac 12.Classyposter58;1548729 wrote:no reason they did not try to join the Big 12 or Pac 12
Fuck the Falcons.Classyposter58;1548734 wrote:Well I'm leaving here soon to spend the day in Detroit going to the Mac Championship. Should be a great game and over 20,000 tickets have been sold between the two schools so should be a solid crowd actually. Hopefully BG takes the cake, I won't lie they're a nightmare matchup for NIU which is why the spread is so tight in Vegas
and they would have in the big east? Boise has a decent mid-major basketball program. Lets be real, football and basketball are the only sports that really matter (really only football).dlazz;1548739 wrote:They wouldn't compete in any other sports if they joined the Big 12/Pac 12.
I think that was their reasoning in the past.
They were joining the Big Sky (or Big West or WAC or something) for all other sports when they were headed to the Big East.Pick6;1548746 wrote:and they would have in the big east?

gotcha. Didn't know that. It pisses me off that the MAC does that. Temple only joined in football but has a pretty solid basketball program. Now UMASS has joined for only football, and they blow dick. Meanwhile their unbeaten and ranked basketball team is still in the A-10. Stupid.dlazz;1548754 wrote:They were joining the Big Sky (or Big West or WAC or something) for all other sports when they were headed to the Big East.
I doubt the Pac 12/Big 12 would be cool with that
So what we would get to watch Temple and UMass rape the MAC? Haha on a side note a girl in class said I hope BG wins the MAC-10 championship tonightPick6;1548755 wrote:gotcha. Didn't know that.

Wouldn't make any difference for BG, their bball team blows lol. Better competition would be better for the conference. Almost surely would make the MAC at least a two big league.Classyposter58;1549025 wrote:So what we would get to watch Temple and UMass rape the MAC?

Had a nice win the other night, really handled W. Kentucky. They run no offense what so ever thoughPick6;1549033 wrote:Wouldn't make any difference for BG, their bball team blows lol. Better competition would be better for the conference. Almost surely would make the MAC at least a two big league.
Where was Ryan Leaf? He was top 2 and some had him over PM.sleeper;1547356 wrote:Brady Quinn was also a top 5 pick by Kiper and McShay.
I'm pretty sure Kiper liked Leaf over Manning. I remember reading something like over half of GMs at that time also liked Leaf over Manning.Ironman92;1549096 wrote:Where was Ryan Leaf? He was top 2 and some had him over PM.
They're getting voted out of the MAC before noon tomorrow if they do, schools want that BCS cash againse-alum;1549109 wrote:Hopefully BGSU can pull this out. They're off to a nice start!
I just really don't want to see NIU in a BCS game, not at all.ts1227;1549116 wrote:They're getting voted out of the MAC before noon tomorrow if they do, schools want that BCS cash again
