Comments for The Mountain West Conference Connection http://mwcfootball.wordpress.com All about the MWC Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:42:40 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on Contact by Bill Z. Brock http://mwcfootball.wordpress.com/about/#comment-3622 Bill Z. Brock Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:42:40 +0000 #comment-3622 Curious? Is this connection only on Direct TV as I subscribe to Charter and in my calling Charter, they could not find a connection with your connection. Why, good people do you have a connection this will exclude people, a good TCU fan. Why would you have a contract that would not work in all the major carriers? Confused and curious. If this my oversight, please help the elderly (73) to the proper channel so I will stop fussing. If you want publicitiy why cut us out? Please let me know something and if the radio is my only contact with the 11/21/09 game, guess I will have to live with it. I haven't started on John Denton at TCU yet but I will l later in the day, John is a lite riser!!!! Curious?

Whittingham is CLEARLY a superior football coach over Mendenhall which explains why BYU did everything they could to lure Mendenhall as their head coach before finally having to settle for Mendenhall to replace Crowton.

]]> Comment on Preview 2009 New Mexico Opponents: Texas A&M Aggies by Mike http://mwcfootball.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/preview-2009-new-mexico-opponents-texas-am-aggies/#comment-3583 Mike Sun, 09 Aug 2009 09:08:43 +0000 http://mwcfootball.wordpress.com/?p=2874#comment-3583 Not. First of all, Cyrus Gray is an excellent back. He was a highly rated recruit in his own right and compiled over 1500 total purpose yards last season as a true freshman. Behind him, Bradley Stephens was himself a four-star recruit and has shown a great deal of promise. The Aggies are actually stocked at RB, which is why they were happy to see the lazy Mike Goodson leave town. Second, your, ahem, 'analysis' of the offensive line is about as vapid as it is glib. That 'awesomely bad' offensive line was wracked by injuries last year. Thus, a line that was mediocre to begin with was made worse by the need to play second and third stringers. Just having a full complement of healthy players will be a marked upgrade in talent over last season. Third, five wins is not the goal for this season, nor is it anything like the uppermost ceiling on A&M's expectations. Where are the juggernaut teams against which A&M is going to crash and burn? Aside from OU and Texas, the Aggies play a fairly weak schedule. They play three weak-sister non-cons at home to start (3 Ws), then a suspect Arkansas team in Dallas (L). After that, they have a vastly overrated OSU team at home (W) before traveling to KSU and a decimated Tech (W, L). Then it's home for ISU (W) at CU (L) at OU (L) home for Baylor (W) and Texas to finish the season (L). That's 7 wins without any real upsets. And there won't be any upsets because this team is still too inexperienced to pull one off. You should know something about a team before you try to dissect it. Anyone can regurgitate the blurb from The Sporting News CF preview, inane though it may be. Not. First of all, Cyrus Gray is an excellent back.
