Sounds like a real possibility.

Kathie- I hope it works out well for Boise State. I'm A Pitt fan and am happy that they have decided to pull out of the Big East and heading to the ACC.

Makes no sense on so many levels.

Boise wants to be respected as a football school, the Big East is a basketball conference.

How do you think folks back east are going to like staying up until 2 AM watching their team play out west against Boise?

College athletics are out of control. I'd like to see Boise in the Big 12 perhaps.

BSU has got to do SOMETHING different -- but I can't figure out Big East either. BSU is not geographically anywhere near "east!" But, what do I know . . . . . BE looks like they may be pulling in 4-6 new teams.

TT: From what I've read, BE is only offering a place to the BSU football team, and none of its other athletic programs. That doesn't seem like a good fit to me. But, what do I know . . . . .

I wish them all the best Kathie but man alive the travel bills are going to be brutal.

Well, I hope bigger brains than mine are at work at BSU while they sort this out, TT and EH. I'm surprised the BSU alumni people/big BSU supporters for any/all the sports programs aren't making a lot of noise (at least, not that I've seen so far). But, what do I know . . . .

BS is only using this as a stepping stone to get to a better conference. If they keep winning they wont be there long.

Well, I hope you're right Iso. Like I said, they've gotta do something. So, how did you manage to rub elbows w/ Chris Peterson last weekend? Pokey Allen followed him; he was a great coach and his death was sad and untimely.

I don't know who Peterson is. I was with Skip Hall, he has done several speaking engagements for my company over the last few years.

Sorry, Iso -- Chris Peterson, Skip Hall, Pokey Allen -- all former BSU coaches. All good, and sometimes I get them tangled up in the memory banks.
