So pretty likely.

Well, the BYU is a step ahead of them with one dominating year to build upon. I don't forsee anyone being able to dominate this conference in football. However, I could forsee BYU hoops slipping out of the top tier of the MWC just as I think Utah is another loss to New Mexico or Wyoming from slipping out of the top tier in MWC football.

I agree that the days of one team dominating either of the two big sports in this conference is gone. There is a lot of parity these days in the conference and IMO, that's a good thing. Having 3 or 4 teams battling for top dog only pushes all to get better.

I have no idea how long Boylen will stay. Trends show that he'll bolt for a bigger name conference if he has some good years, but I find it amusing that many here are convinced that he will go. I'm not saying that he'll stay a long time,because I have no idea. I'm just pointing out that many are sounding like they're trying to convince themselves that he'll leave and I believe that it's in part that they're a bit concerned that he might be the guy that gets Utah out of it's precipitating tailspin that Giacoletti created. You folks like that Utah has sucked the last two years. I don't blame you - I enjoyed the Crowton years.

Bottom line is that all we as fans can do is speculate. That's what makes it fun.
