Robb Akey happy to talk trash about Broncos at WAC media days
Zing! He really got us with that one. The Mountain West looks exactly like the SEC from where we're standing, except for all these mediocre teams and the fact that our commissioner hates us.
Hawaii picked as preseason WAC favorite, Fresno second, Neavda third
Idaho was picked to finish sixth by both the coaches and the media, which is no surprise. The surprise: One media member voted Utah State No. 1 in his or her poll. I blame an Adam Nettina story idea gone horribly wrong.

Daryn Colledge signs with Cardinals for 5 years, $27.5 million
It will be sad to say good-bye to such a great Green Bay fanba----Whoa, did you say $27.5 millions?!
Stewart Mandel doesn't think Boise State will have an easy time in the Mountain West
He's in bed with Craig Thompson! Well, probably not, but he's definitely more skeptical than you and I are.
In the MWC, however, TCU, Air Force and SDSU will all be games that could go either way. (If CSU is a sleeper, that's news to me, but as a local, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt). The interesting question will be whether a Boise team that beats Georgia but loses one conference game can still finish ranked high enough to earn a BCS berth. Starting high won't hurt.
More links after the jump.
If a formerly great SEC school beats a powerhouse non-AQ school, does anyone care that much? The conclusion is that people will think far worse of Boise if the Broncos lose than they will think highly of Georgia if the Dawgs win. The story is worth reading for the line alone:
No amount of chanting "S-E-C! S-E-C!" can change the fact that, in 2010, the Broncos wouldn't have gone 6-7 against our schedule, and the Bulldogs wouldn't have gone 12-1 against their schedule.
