i really liked it because it guaranteed us an extra regional DI opponent. it seems like we just can't get enough of those. between wac/wcc/big west we don't play them enough.

even the border states we almost never play any of them. ill try and remember the last game. many of the below werent busters but same difference.
cu - can't remember or never
csu - 2002
af - can't remember or never
nmsu 70s or 80s?
unm - can't remember
asu 2-3 yrs ago
ua, 3-4 yrs ago
unlv 3-4 yrs ago

ui, - can't remember
bsu - 2006 i think
wyo - can't remember

That's bad news for teams like Weber...who get few DI's to visit the Dee...guess we'll have to be satisfied with home games vs. NAIAs & DIIs, other than instate teams every other year...wouldn't be surprised if on next contract series of games with BYU that they insist on all games be played at Marriot. :-(

BYU better not, they are ALSO playing in a mid-major conference, they are not in a power conference, so they better not start big timing us. :evil:

Now I also dont like this for the same reasons stated above, this was a great way for teams like Weber to get a home game against a good team that wouldnt normally come to the Dee :thumbdown:
