This is another statement that proves the WAC is not below or sideways. If the Sky is better shouldn't we expect as a top 4 Big Sky team to beat the bottom dweller WAC USU team (even if they are better this year)

If we were offered a spot in the WAC I would want to make the jump. I am sick of people referring to WSU as D-2.
 
I didn't say it was a step down in football competition. It is a step down in conferences. If USU and UH stay, it will be 100 times better than otherwise. There is a great chance that both will leave for greener pastures. If I were in their shoes, I would be looking to get the 'ell out. I really do feel bad for USU. They don't deserve this.

RE: Weber State fans want in the WAC....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Just say Noe! to Weebe.
best post I've seen on the subject. Funny story, the first time I had ever seen a ghetto in person was in Ogden, Utah! And I grew up 1.5 hrs north of LA!!!

The place is a modern day ghost town, the Mall was torn down and was it ever rebuilt? I don't know that I've ever seen anything that would suggest otherwise. Even the strip malls and used car dealerships are in other cities that surround Ogden, they can't even attract suburban blight!! The town has a River that runs through it and it's full all year 'round, but no one even pays attention to it. I did hear that they've torn down a bunch of homes and are making way for something new along the river, but it's almost too little too late.

I've only been on Weber's campus a few times, and it's about what you would find at a JuCo in SoCo, nothing going on at all.

Godfather is right about the arena, it is nice, probably better than the Chemical Center in Salt Lake, and although bigger than the DGS by 2,000 seats, it too is a ghost town usually. Even when Weber is on the up and up in BB.

Honestly, I think Utah Valley State has more potential, and that's saying something because it sucks too!

Why would this NMSU dude want Weber in the WAC? It would only mean another L for those Southern Aggies.

As for Weber going to the WAC. Could the Cats compete on that level? Yes. Will Weber get that chance? No, most likely. Would it be good for the university and the athletic programs? Who knows. I really don't think it'll improve attendance like some people think. Having USU in the same conference would be a definite positive. Weber would, also, renew their rivalry with Idaho, but thats the only good things about joining the WAC.
 
I would say the best place for Weber would be to get into the WAC in everything but football. The BigSky is a better spot for football anyway and as far as basketball goes a conference partership with USU would most likely help out both schools.
