VERY impressive fan turnout for Utah State. And they are looking good against the white shirt bikers.

Should we have joined the WAC?

just saying

Why, why do you insist?

BYU is having a down year. Unfortunately, people are just going to see the score and think, "Hey, Utah St is good."

They did play OU extremely well.

There are a couple of Divison 3 teams that are doing well - I guess you think we need to drop all scholarships and join D III.

Don't worry, if the WAC dropped to FCS level, he would still want us to join. If the WAC disbanded all together, he would want NT to be the charter member of a new WAC conference.

Utah St. would work us. They've played everyone (except SD St (who is VERY good this year)) well.

Best game I ever saw in Fouts Field was in 1997 when we played Utah State.

I think the only people in the stands were you and I and the crew I brought with me (my girlfriend at the time and two kids she was babysitting).

Great game, though. Right there with McNeese State in '94 and Oregon State in '95 (I think).

Heheheh yeah I was guessing around 2K people, but it might have been less. That was such a back and forth affair.

I was also at the Oregon State game in 1995 (the only one I made my senior year of HS) - a great ending for sure. I listened to the McNeese State game on the radio if I recall correctly. That team in 1994 was really good....damn Boise State in the playoffs.

Honestly, there's reasons I'd like for us to play Utah State every other year (which would happen if we went WAC, of course). Some of these are: my wife and I have flight privileges and could make an annual pilgrimage to Utah, where we would stay with some of her cousins and their families (yes, she's LDS) in Logan, and we could do some sightseeing and photography in Logan Canyon, a beautiful place in the fall. However, none of that benefits UNT in general or UNT football in particular. At this time, from what I can tell, there is only general aviation at Logan-Cache Airport (right name?), so the team would have to fly into Salt Lake City and then take buses to Logan, some hours away. Also, Logan is at about 4500 feet of elevation, enough to test the aerobic fitness of anybody, and certainly a football team from the flatlands such as ours.

Logan, Utah is a beautiful place, with friendly interesting, people, and great weather in September and October. I highly recommend it as a vacation spot for those of you who love outdoor recreation. Utah State can be a good football team at times, and certainly seems to be on the improve this year. As far as reasons to join the WAC, I'm not finding any, especially lately.

So are you saying we can hang with Utah State?

I was in a bar earlier tonight (shocker, I know) and someone was talking about how it was not an upset as "Utah State is good." The played OU close. They beat Idaho State and were blown out by SDSU and Fresno, That's 1-3 and the 1 is a weak FCS team - they are not good.
