<P>Dan,</P></DIV>
<P>I want to hate them, I try to hate them.&nbsp; But the head coach, Dan Hawkins, and the offensive coordinator Chris Peterson,&nbsp;are both former UC Davis Aggies.&nbsp; I rarely missed a home game as an undergrad, and saw both of&nbsp;them play.&nbsp; If I hate BSU, don't I have to hate them too?&nbsp; 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>&gt;Greetings Vandals - 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;To elaborate on what I had mentioned a while ago, the only two items in 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the Idaho Statesman that I would put any faith in are page numbers and 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the day's date. Other than that . . . (well, you know)

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

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

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