11 bowls appearances since 2011, 24 trips to March madness. Don’t think we can be too picky, other conferences are stepping up to hold on to their top schools. UNLV trying to play both sides

UNLV trying to play both sides Not major bowls, but I think playing in 11 bowls in the last 12 full seasons is a great accomplishment and we are hardly slumming or acting desperate by selecting them. Already looking forward to a road trip to Logan. It's 11-12 hours of hard driving on I-84 from Corvo and you can absolutely fly once you get out of Oregon. |

A quote from one of the Utah State fans on their message board: "We are the cat that BSU and SDSU drop off in the country only to return the next day."  Also remarking about how pissed Boise fans are about their admittance to the conference lol |

Also remarking about how pissed Boise fans are about their admittance to the conference lol Not to hijack this thread, but today I read about the cat belonging to a Salinas, CA family. They were camping in West Yellowstone. Cat was spooked and ran off. Family stayed about three days looking for said cat. Heartbroken, they return home. After four months, a family in Rosemont, CA (Sacramento suburb) finds a tired and struggling cat. They take it to the vet. Cat has a microchip. Yes, it's the cat from the Salinas family. Cat is back home now with its cat brother. |

I wonder if they lit the "A" blue tonight. Pretty cool tradition. www.usu.edu/light-the-a/overview |

Yep - I am still waiting for the Arab Oil Embargo to end, and the gas shortages. Can never keep track of whether it is an odd or even day, so I can fill up my car. Maybe once this is all over we can go back to a 70 mph speed limit like many of the other states. We have to conserve fuel for the gas shortage - right? |

Has there been an official announcement? No tin foil hat here, but ESPN is not what I consider that creditable.

Not worth announcing anything til you have 8 and are officially a conference. By itself, this appears desperate, but the reality is that this is a move to get other dominos to fall. I bet we'll see an announcement when things are settled and we're sitting pretty. |

As of right now, according to the linked articles on another thread, we are in a standoff with the MWC, in that each conference currently has 7 members. UNLV stating they were staying was when the conference still had the required 8 votes to continue enforcing their GOR agreement. They do not. USU refused to sign.
Don't be surprised to see UNLV still join us. As was stated on another thread by I think Henry - "how dare they want more money and relevance in a P5 conference!"  |
