The Weber State message board is abuzz with rumors that John L. Smith will return to the Big Sky when the Wildcats announce their new football coach tomorrow. What I remember most about John L. was his post-game comments to Brian McNeeley after he hung 70 points on the Bengals in 1994. "This was for your president breaking up the Big Sky Conference."
His reference, of course, was to Dick Bowen pushing for the Big Sky to go to Division II in the early 1990s, thereby giving Boise State and Idaho further impetus to "move up."
