BOISE TO THE MTN WEST UPDATE

The latest on Boise State to the Mtn. West is that the Idaho Statesman, the largest newspaper in Hans-land has requested BSU’s mail to determine if contact between the prez of the university Bob Kustra and MWC head man Craig Thompson or any other MWC types. The chances of that seem to be slim but you never know. Also, if BSU were to join the TV-challenged conference, they couldn’t do so before the 2010 season.

SOMEONE TELL KID ROCK

That it’s not cool to jump on a bandwagon and it’s really not cool to wear a kickers jersey, yes Utes fans even Louie Sakoda is not cool. The Detroit rock star can be forgiven somewhat because his hometown team the Lions would be beaten soundly by the #7 Utes, but when performing at last night’s CMA’s he would have been better served bandwagon jumping with Kerry Collins #5......
