I played all of my high school games on that field, cool in high school but not so much for a team trying to be taken seriously.
If BSU wanted to be taken seriously they would be scheduling as many top tier schools on the East and West coasts as possible. Where BSU keeps fucking up is that they are telling those schools that they will only play in Boise and few of the Big East, SEC, Pac-10, etc are going to come to Boise to play in a small stadium that doesn't sell out for a normal home game. Boise State needs to be scheduling as many tough away games as they can against schools other than the Oregon State, VT and BSU plays a cupcake schedule and the cause falls directly upon the shoulders of Gene Blaymeier, their AD. They do play Georgia in Athens next year and I think that will be an eye-opener for BSU as to just where they stand in the world. The last time BSU faced off against Georgia (2005) wasn't pretty and BSU began scheduling a bunch of mediocre schools they could run up the score against to make themselves look good in the national spotlight.
The last home game they sold out was Oregon a few years ago. They turn back tickets to away games and bowl games routinely, tickets that the other schools in bigger conferences would have sold in a day. Hell, the BSU President thinks that Idaho Vandal fans are "nasty and inebriated" (we just party more ) and refused to travel to Moscow for this year's game. He would shit a brick if he ever bothered to watch a SEC game. Ohio State v. Michigan is a sight to see.
With TCU going to the Big East, MWC=WAC 2.0
The rest of the WAC will move up tot he MWC in a few years.
