Hike's Peak: The Weekly Mountain West Podcast

Welcome back to the mountain! A bombshell report emerged late Wednesday night, with Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State officially leaving the Mountain West for the revived PAC-12! To add insult to injury, it sounds like Air Force to the American is also a done deal. With now just six full time members, what will the MW have to do to survive? What schools are on their radar? What MW team is most likely to bolt next? And, oh yeah, football! UNLV and San Jose State continued their hot start, while Colorado State and Wyoming both laid another egg, warming their head coaches' seats substantially. Mammoth episode this week, enjoy!
