Who cares about Utah/BYU? Isn't this just the WAC? Florida walked over FSU in the real game.

LOL!!
LOL!! About 9 years ago this was the WAC. Now it's the mighty MWC with their mighty "The mountain" channel, seen by hundreds of MWC fans in the inter-mountain region.

I totally agree with the fact that you don't put yourself in a position to get jobb'd.

Re: LOL!!
All this fuss over "The mountain" channel and it has worst picture quality I have ever seen. Seriously, I have seen rabbit ears pick up a better picture.

"The Mountain" is best described as a train wreck....
YMMV

Man was that a booooorrrrrrring game. That is until the last 5 minutes. I had been flipping to all the other games all day. Freakin' field goal contest and BYU has become the Brigham Young Runnin' Unga's. I guess you have to go with what works, but man its like watching the Denver Broncos. Smash mouth football is a sleeper and I would not expect that from quarterback university. I didn't know that Unga had 1000 yards rushing this season. . .AND it was the first time for a BYU back? WTF!

Other than BYU over Utah, and WVU all but sealing a championship game birth (better beat Pitt), the best game this weekend was watching LSU lose!

The Mountain has got to be killing the MWC teams in recruiting.... I mean honestly..... Boise, Fresno, San Jose go after the same players as most MWC teams..... you know the drill.... Calif kids who are talented but over looked by the majors because he is to small/slow/poor grades....
So the kid goes home and says "hey mom, I can play at Utah and you will see me on TV once this year on a third teir boradcast.... or I can play for Boise and be on ESPN in HD 5 times".
If the MWC doesn't get their crap together they are going to become the WAC's weak little sister.

Must hurt having retarded spiritual kids kick the asses of the big tough drunk felons. Don't worry though, basketball season is almost here for you guys... Oh wait...
BTW, you might've missed that BYU beat the #6 ranked team in the nation last night in basketball.

1.Jamal Willis 2,970 yards (1991-1994)
2.Curtis Brown 2,932 yards (2002-present)
3.Lakei Heimuli 2,710 yards (1984-1986)
4.Jeff Blanc 2,663 yards (1973-1975)
5.Luke Staley 2,493 yards (1999-2001)
6.Pete Van Valkenburg 2,492 yards (1970-1972)
7.John Ogden 2,363 yards (1964-1966)
So, yeah, no way Staley ran 2,000 of those 2493 in one year. On a side note, why did that guy leave early? Was he hiding an injury or just dumb?

Sorry, he ran for 1600 as a Junior, and won the Doak Walker Award, which goes to the best running back in the nation. He was injured in the Miss. St game, and missed essentially the last two games. (edit: I was clearly thinking of his career number for 2,000 in the season. I just remember him running wild over everyone that season. My memory failed me... At any rate, 1,000 yard rushers have become the norm at BYU in the last few seasons.)
From Wikipedia "His incredible rushing average (8.1 yards per carry) led the NCAA, and his 143.8 rushing yards per game ranked third nationally. Staley added 32 receptions for 334 yards and 4 touchdowns; he led the nation in total touchdowns (28) and scoring (15.5 points per game). Staley twice tied BYU's school record for touchdowns in a game, scoring 5 against both Utah State and Colorado State." (end wikipedia)
He declared for the draft due to the injury (broken leg) but never fully recovered.
Also, BYU doesn't have three good running backs right now. They have one in Unga. Tonga, and Vakapuna are hardly "good." Average, perhaps, but not "good." Tonga is a great blocking back, and has good hands. Vakapuna is slow as hell nowadays, rarely touches the ball. Semanoff plays fullback, but only gets garbage carries. Unga is their man.

The backs aren't typical running backs, but they are definitely the focus of the offense, and have been for a few seasons now.

As to the Mountain, I totally agree that it will kill the conference. I just watched the Y take on No. 1 No. Carolina. Dang near pulled off the upset. But Dick Vital didn't even know who Trent Plaisted was and yet he was very impressed with him. Do you think any one else would know who any of our teams are unless we occasionally get on another channel? I am sick of the Mountain, VS, an CSTV. Agreed the coverage is poor. Half of the time the camera gets faked out with the fake on the field. Disgusting. The Mountain can't help recruiting.Life is Good
