The reason I am so depressed about BYU

Well, I've got news for you Bubba, BYU can't fix the problems of the MWC.

Fans pumping in an extra $5M a year into the BYU athletic department coffers won't do a damn thing towards making SDSU a viable football program or be able to get more than 15,000 fans into a bowl-eligible Wyoming stadium or get UNLV to cheat as good as Tarkanian did with their basketball program 20 years ago to become a competitive team.

If you want to place the blame on me for the MWC sucking, then be my guest.

You rode to the rescue to refute Mike and then take a shot at me. What is your problem with Mike bitching about how crappy the MWC is. What is your problem with not wanting to schedule EWU's.

Why don't you just stick to arguing against someone's points and try not to expand it into the person is attacking BYU. I don't know how it works in your world, but in mine if everyone becomes satisfied and isn't asking for more, the situation regresses.

I have said countless times recently that I think the BYU admin. is doing a great job now. I don't see any EWU's on the future schedule and I think I have every right to express my feeling I don't want to see any in the future either.

I have griped about EWU as much as anyone. But I learned something over the weekend that affected my opinion. For some reason, BYU ended up with an open date. BYU sent feelers all over the country to find a team that would fill the slot. EWU was the only team in the country that responded. So it came down to EWU or nothing.

You won't find me arguing that BYU could have done anything about EWU. As a matter of fact I have stated numerous times I am happy, not excited, but happy about this years home schedule.

My whole argument is and always has been, let's not schedule those type of games in the future.
