Jerry Sloan, John Stockton, and Karl Malone got the Utah Jazz as close as anyone ever has to a title. They did it with a hard-nosed attitude and a scrappy and intense style of play, every stinking night. That is why Karl Malone became known as "The Mailman". He delivered every night. On both ends of...

Yes. As a land-grant and Ag-focused G5, there is no reason to self-demote. We already get demoted enough. But, I would not mind seeing something more than table scraps being set aside for a G5 representative in a 12 team playoff. The separation that we see is on-going right in front of us. It is hap...

RogerAndersen

Seems to me to be worth a shot. Why not? What do we stand to miss out on?

RogerAndersen

I agree.

The PAC2 still thinks their 5#!+ smells much sweeter than any MWC program.

In a coming day, not too far away, the PAC2 will come to the realization that they now are the MWC and the league suits them perfectly fine.

RogerAndersen

I, for one, am just not that torn up about all this. Why should coaches be able to skim millions off the Top when players are not allowed to get full living expenses, car/fuel allowance? Hey, I saw the cars that fellas like Stacy Augmon and Greg Anthony used to drive. It seemed sorta wrong at the ti...

Gloria Nevarez should not waste any time in officially inviting WSU and OSU. And she should follow that quickly by inviting Gonzaga and St. Mary's in BB This would make the MWC the only Pacific and Mountain time zone based conference. And allow for a strong Mountain and a West division in FB. This a...

RogerAndersen

I agree. The separation is happening now right in front of us. The funny thing is that in the long-term, it is a completely untenable situation IMHO. How many fans/supporters of the current P4 have ever shown even the slightest interest in having their team finish with a .500 record?. And yet, that ...

RogerAndersen

I was a young fan during the Pella years. But not young enough not to realize the shambles that he and some other coaches of that era made of Utah State Football. Tough times for sure... And yes, with a Big West schedule that included NMSU, Pacific, Fullerton State, Long Beach State , Fresno State, ...

"You are a good player and we wish you the best"

- Billy Beane in "Money Ball" as he trades a guy and ships him off to another team.

RogerAndersen

Haha. Those 25ish years from 1983-2010 are my later teens thru my mid 40's. Lean times. Sorta tough years to be an Aggie. All things considered, I am really happy that my kid and nephew were able to play during the GA/MW era. I really believe BA is gonna get us on a roll again this season. Go Aggies!

RogerAndersen

Whoa! Huge get!

Welcome to Utah State!

RogerAndersen

I am generally very happy to take all the Big 10 and SEC grad transfers we can get our hands on. They have been around the big-time and all the NIL $$. They are coming to Utah State only because they want to show out and make a difference and maybe build more of a name for themselves. I'm good with ...

RogerAndersen

Yep. If you are recruited as a Big 2 ($EC or B1G) level recruited talent AND our coaches and medical staff have done enough due diligence to believe you can really play and don't have some lingering injury, I am inclined to be optimistic rather than pessimistic. We roll the dice on lateral transfers...

RogerAndersen

I totally agree. In general, kids in their early 20's do not always see/comprehend the long-term effects of their short-term decisions. There are just not very many kids that transfer up and make it big. Just looking at the kids who have transferred away from Utah State, some have done ok, but as ma...

RogerAndersen

If we have learned 1 thing as fans of College Football, it is that the Transfer Portal can giveth, and the Transfer Portal can take away. In my view, as a G5 MWC program, the odds of picking up a player that gives us a net gain are quite good and we should explore it. Whether it is a former P5 playe...

RogerAndersen

Well-thought out and well-stated reply. My guess is that BA will have to figure out if his plan B is up to snuff sooner rather than later especially with the schedule we start out with. Coaching college football can be a tricky business. There are a lot of moving parts. (No pun intended) Sometimes i...

RogerAndersen

I understand. Coop has often been my favorite Aggie. In selfless manner, he has always given Utah State everything he could. The kid plays with a big heart. That is not to say he has been John Elway or something. If he does end up transferring to another school, I will always cheer loudly for him an...

RogerAndersen

In BA's coaching career, a couple of things are starting to stand out. 1. BA's teams are just not going to be very disciplined. They just are not. Often, they will be plenty skilled and capable and fun to watch. But not very disciplined. 2. There will be drama around the QB position. Perhaps this st...

RogerAndersen

I am still scratching my head, a bit, as to what scenario, exactly, Coop was expecting/hoping for. The movements by the staff in the past couple of days tell me me that pretty much, regardless of entrenched returning starters, the coaching staff is going to add a player at every position every year....

RogerAndersen

If a guy is good enough to be signed by byu and asu, he must have some sills/abilities.

As a Grad X-fer, and as long as he is coming in with eyes wide open and an understanding of the QB landscape at Utah State, I really do not have a problem with it. It is a one year deal.

RogerAndersen

To me, this is beginning to feel like what the power conferences want is just a "Bridge too Far". The P4 keep hogging all the profits and all of the money in College Football. They are all getting rich. Meanwhile, how can G5 programs break-even? The deck keeps getting reshuffled to make even having ...

RogerAndersen

So let me see if I have this all straight... If the P4 leagues never have to leave their home stadiums in OOC play due to the massive bowl payouts the P4 conferences and programs collect... This sounds an awful lot like the G5 leagues are basically stuck playing a P4 programs on the road plus maybe ...

RogerAndersen

I suppose my 50+ years of Aggie FB Fandom will always have me optimistically hoping for 7-9 wins, plus playing in a MWC CCG, plus playing in a Bowl game. As things continue forward with the MWC, my hope and my dream is for the MWC CCG to become even more prestigious and the MWC Bowl Tie-ins will beg...

RogerAndersen

I agree to a point. 1. I could see a close game with the Pukes, but do not see us pulling it out in the end. Too many big draft horses and too many fast thoroughbreds. 2. I just can not see us really getting on enough of a roll to close out the season on a 3 game win streak in MWC play. I am happy t...

RogerAndersen

Yeah. No on Bronco, but I can cheer for Legas.

RogerAndersen

Well, call me a traitor.

If Cooper ends up playing at UNM, I would cheer for him, except when playing Utah State.

RogerAndersen

As far as I am concerned, BSU can take their "special deal" and roll it up into a nice fatty and smoke it. And WSU/OSU can do the same with whatever special deal they have in mind as well. Now if USC, UCLA, UO, and UW come calling and want to join the MWC, the conference would quickly agree to some ...

RogerAndersen

Yep. Excuse the fans for hoping for/cheering for/expecting more than getting whacked at home by our FCS neighbor. In 50 years of watching Aggie Football pretty faithfully, I have seen a few pretty ugly coaching moments. None dramatically worse than trotting Bonner out to play in the 2nd half against...

RogerAndersen

Either way things break in the future, there is no reason for the MWC to stand pat. Our commissioner knows that. I would say, if there are institutions that fit the MWC geographic, institutional, and financial footprint, the Conference should work proactively to entice and invite them to join our le...

RogerAndersen

The only way I let WSU and OSU in is: 1. No Special Carveouts or Treatments for WSU/OSU ever. 2. If you want to be a member of the Conference, be member just like every other institution. 3. Boy See's Special Treatment goes away forever. 4. Because the MWC members have all lived with the disruption ...

RogerAndersen

Pretty remarkable that he still has the drive and a fire in his belly to get up and face the challenges of being a head coach at an FBS school. For that alone, BA is a pretty remarkable human being. I would argue that this gig at a G5 school is probably more intense than at most P4 programs. Kudo's ...

RogerAndersen

Since the fateful days of Kliakov's Folly, the crumbling downfall of the once mighty PAC12 never really been in doubt. Utah ran for the exits at the first opportunity. As they probably should have. I am in favor of reaching out and helping WSU and OSU to a reasonable soft landing as much as the MWC ...

RogerAndersen

I do not think this situation is very complicated. For coaches and players alike... Whether you are a player or a coach, if you don't like getting booed, don't get blown out at home by lower division teams that have come to to your place for a payday. I've seen 80,000 crazed University of Nebraska f...

RogerAndersen

I think that due to Anderson's immediate success in season 1, his seat has not really been getting warm as it probably should have been these past couple of years. Is it just me? Is anyone else feeling a sense of urgency for getting things turned around within the program pretty pronto? BSU, SDSU, C...
