Stop the presses, everyone, the mtn. is coming to Direct TV this August. All I can say is it's about damn time this happened. Took long enough, though and I'm still going to be skeptical until it actually begins airing on Direct TV later this summer. But for now, the news does seem to be real, so rejoice Utah fans without digital cable, you may just get to see Utah football this year.

Finally the Mountain West regains some credibility on the national sports stage. Maybe the future isn't as bleak as originally thought.
