    Adding Houston would be excellent. I am not a big fan of a 12 team conference, but as long as we are at 11 it makes sense to get to 12. Houston could be a bcs buster, and with Boise, TCU, BYU, that could be 4 ranked teams at the end of the year! I hope it happens.

      Not sure if I am a fan of a 12-team league either, Joe. But looks to be headed that way.

      Sounds like Utah State wants in now. Funny, they were saying a couple of days ago how great they were for staying loyal to the WAC. Crazy stuff.

      Have a good one.

    I would much rather have houston than usu. I dont see how the aggies really help us. Sorry i couldnt make the scrimmage today. I was able to get all the convetsation from it though and it looks like our offense maybe turned a corner a bit. Dying for the season to start. I wish the southern utah game was on tv. Great job on the Around the Mountain piece. I’ll talk to ya.

      Thanks Joe,

      Offense looked good today. Took some important steps forward.

      I agree with you on the season. It needs to get here.

      Thanks for the kind words on the TV stuff. Kind of feel out of my element doing that stuff, but it’s fun, too.

      Have a good weekend. Talk to you soon.
