I want Houston back for sure. SMU would be nice too.
I want UTEP replaced with one of those for sure.
If you remember back a few years, Marshall has a run that while it didn't land them in the big bowls it put them on the national stage. I view Boise's recent run in the same light and they have capitalized on it to be sure. But the formula that led to much of their sucess is going to be challenged going to the BE and I really think they will struggle and will ultimately regret the decision. I do think UH will be okay. While I would love for them to be in CUSA, they have wanted to get back to the Phi Slamma Jamma glory years and with the basketball talent in Houston and the draw of the BE I think they may get there. Who knows!! As for SMU. Accept for their noted "cheating driven sucess of a few years ago" they were a door mat in the SW Conference, WAC, CUSA, and they will remain there in the BE.
I am one of the Boise football porgram's biggest admirers, but I think they will regret this move ... as it has played out. The travel they are about to face will cost them some wins they should have. That travel would cost ANY college football team wins it should have.
Good old Memorial Gym
I agree. I've always admired Boise St's ability to succeed when everyone thought they couldn't. But I believe the Boise ride will eventually peter out sooner rather than later. Afterall, they are located in.....Idaho! With all the travel involved, it's going to be very, very difficult for Boise to continue winning like they have. And let's be honest, Boise has had more than their share of good luck along the way to their success too. Good coaches, good athletes, good support. And THAT kind of good luck doesn't typically last forever.
