Loved talking with you guys this summer about the differences between our programs. I got a better understanding of MAC scheduling issues . I used to think that Boise's isolation was a bad thing for our program. I'm not so sure anymore (though it is hard to get teams to play in Boise).

Actually 8 scholarships seems to be the worst on the list (with the possible exception of the championship ban).

The .03 reduction of a scholarship is kind of funny. "We can offer you a 97% scholarship. You have to come up with the last fifty bucks."

Well, he can always go back to his old job at the Peach Pit!

I've really enjoyed talking with you guys about our respective schools. Hopefully, as the game gets closer we can start talking strategy a little more. Your team came into Boise last year and played us as well as anyone did (especially on the Blue). Fortunately fo us, our defense was able to bail us...

You're right about Boise being dominated by Boise State football. Boise has a population of about 200,000 but the metro area is almost 600,000 (almost half the population of the state)-- and you have to drive at least 6 hours away to find a bigger city (Salt Lake or Portland). We have all of the min...

FWIW, I don't think we EVER got anything near the 750K you mentioned that OSU pays out...it's a funny thing that I'd never thought about before, but OSU playing a MAC school virtually every year for the last 12-15yrs. or so actually saves THEM money, because they can argue that our costs for travel...

I'm paying about $425/seat for season tickets for nosebleed seats on the 20 yard line (about 5 rows from the top). This is for 7 home games. Starting this year, all seats that are not in the end zones (or the corner of the end zones) are considered priority seating and require membership to the Bron...

Our highest pricest seat is $18, not counting loges or stadium club and students get in "free" with a student ID. I would guess a sellout of 25,000 would be in the vicinity of 15,000-18,000 paying customers at an average ticket price of $12-$14. If you take those top figures, our gate wou...

Home and Home with Boise, Minnesota, Wyoming, and the likes should allow us to average 15,000 in my opinion. The financial problem seems to be, from my viewpoint, is that you can't make enough from one or two 25,000 seat sellout (est. $250,000) at the Doyt to cover the season's gameday expenses. I ...

I was able to confirm from the Boise State side that the 2012 game will be Boise State vs. "Bowling Green or another MAC school." Boise State still has the contract with Bowling Green (see why I said "Bowling Green or the MAC, however you want to look at it!"), but they are willi...

In the latest "Ask the AD" with GC and Dave Horger, Christopher said the return trip to Boise in 2012 is no longer. Well-- if this is the case (and BSU's AD has NOT said anything about this), I can only assume that a different MAC team will be coming to Boise for a one and done. For sake ...

The MAC (or Bowling Green, however you care to look at it) wanted out of the two home games that BGSU had under contract with Boise. That's a pretty big distinction there. We've always been under the assumption/news that the MAC has shuffled us around and taken away our contracted games with Boise ...

Boise State fan here. For the record, the game in Doyt between BGSU and BSU was moved from 2013 to 2009. You guys still have to go back to Boise one more time in 2012. The MAC (or Bowling Green, however you care to look at it) wanted out of the two home games that BGSU had under contract with Boise....
