Now we have Texas to play along with Utah St. There are two slots open for anyone who dares to play us.

Any news out there as to who we are trying to schedule with???

Since Boise will be in the conference then, we only need to fill one more spot.

Ohhh... But we are doing great as a conference without Boise St. We don't need them. PLUS... We don't start our serious with them until 2012 anyways.

Boise State will be in the conference by then, but the 10-12 MWC teams will still only play 8 conference games (4 at home, 4 away each season). IMHO.

Why wouldn't we do exactly what the Pac 10 does and play everyone? I think the only team that would be okay with not playing BYU each year would be TCU. All the other schools rely on their game with BYU to get fans in their stadiums. BYU is everyones' rival.

I'd rather play 8 conf games than 9. Because you can bet that the team that wins the conference more than often than not will be one of the teams that had 5 home games that year.

That's okay, we win all of our road games.

Because it's horribly stupid and has hurt that league terribly.
