Boise State to join the Mountain West next season

This was surprising because of what happened last week. I knew it was extremely possible the Broncos would be joining the Mountain West, I just didn't know it'd take place this quickly. They'll start play in the 2011 season and add another elite team to the top-heavy conference.

Now hopefully the middle and lower-level teams can pick it up because with the pending mega-conferences, the Mountain West will really need their best. 

Obviously I'll have more on this later. But welcome Broncos.

i hope we are smart enough to offer kansas and k-state an invite.

they must see the writing on the wall for the other 5 teams that will probably goto the pac-ten. they are probably in a little bit stressed out. make it a 12 team conference and a cg and we will get aq bcs status in 2011. i hope thompson is smart enough to do this. i’ll say it again, be proactive and glory favors the bold.

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Hell is just a word, the reality is much much worse." Event Horizon". Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean, I mean plumb, mad dog mean. cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live or win. That's just the way it is. "The Outlaw Josey Wales". To protect the sheep you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf. "Training Day". Rashad will beat Rua b/c it's a bad matchup for him. 2/1 odds. Josh Koscheck will dethrone Gsp and win the welterweight title. 2/1 odds on that too.

Im still kinda miffed

That the utes beat my zags a few years ago… we shouldnt have lost that game… But Ya, being a new member to the MWC, I would hope they bring in the Kansas/KState to top out at 12 teams… that would be ideal… Great for basketball too!

The timing of this is really odd to me...

After the meetings this last weekend Commissioner Thompson said the MWC wouldn’t be adding any other teams at this time.

Now 4 days later they announce Boise is on board? What has happened in the last 4 days to make them change their minds?

BSU--Welcome!

Welcome Broncos, you have a great program, loyal fans, and we will love playing you.

Here’s to continued success in football and we hope our conference improves y’all’s B-ball team.
