<P>Dan,</P></DIV>
<P>I want to hate them, I try to hate them. But the head coach, Dan Hawkins, and the offensive coordinator Chris Peterson, are both former UC Davis Aggies. I rarely missed a home game as an undergrad, and saw both of them play. If I hate BSU, don't I have to hate them too? Can I just wait for them to move to better jobs and then ramp up the hatred?</P>
<P>On that subject, has anyone noticed how the last two BSU head coaches have both moved on to pretty good jobs?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Greetings Vandals -
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>To elaborate on what I had mentioned a while ago, the only two items in
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>the Idaho Statesman that I would put any faith in are page numbers and
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>the day's date. Other than that . . . (well, you know)

<DIV></DIV>>I mentioned yesterday that 3 schools (SMU, Rice, & Tulsa) are leaving
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>the Western Athletic Conference to join Conference USA. The WAC
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>commissioner announced his intention of bringing in some Sun Belt teams,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>a scenario that could put the U of I and Boise State back into the same
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>conference.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>However, BSU is lobbying the Mountain West (along with Nevada, Hawaii,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>and Fresno State) to join their ranks. The Mountain West has not stated
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>whether they are even interested in expansion.

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>The Statesman announced today that Sun Belt teams, Utah State and New
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Mexico State, will be invited to join the WAC. ESPN is announcing that
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>it's a done deal: "New Mexico State and Utah State will leave the Sun
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Belt Conference for the WAC in time for the 2005-06 season, a source
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>close to the negotiation told ESPN.com on Wednesday night."

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>No word on where that leaves UI and the Sun Belt which will have only 6
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>teams remaining.
