Mountain West Wire

Mitch Harper of Cougar Sports Wire joins the show to give his thoughts on if BYU would consider rejoining back up with the Mountain West in a non-football scenario. BYU is mentioned in the San Diego Union-Tribune report that they would be interested in following Gonzaga to a new league but the Cougars are not specifically mentioned as one of the six teams which Craig Thompson is speaking to.

Mitch lays out the pros, cons and what scenario it will take for BYU to return to its former league.

Jeremy and Eli are back to talk some college basketball. The two start out discussing the current situation between the FBI and college hoops which has rocked the sport with the Yahoo Sports report. It mentioned a lot of college basketball players who allegedly received money, food or benefits from agents. This included current San Diego State forward Malik Pope and former UNLV, and current Golden State Warrior, star Patrick McCaw, There is a simple solution to make this FBI thing go away overnight but the NCAA is too scared to pull the trigger.

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk some February college football talk. We get back into some NFL Draft talk featuring a pair of potential first-round picks Josh Allen and Leighton Vander Esch, and maybe a few other Mountain West players who could sneak into the first round.

We discuss a little bit of the Bob Davie and New Mexico situation but the main topic is looking at how the very early advanced stats see the Mountain West. We look for who could be overrated and underrated.

As the show nears an end the two for some reason talk college football travel and take a deep dive into international college football games.

Jeremy and Eli are back for another round of Mountain West hoops. The show starts off talking about the latest in the Colorado State and Larry Eustachy ongoings. The latest is that the two sides have finally met with their legal teams as the investigation is complete.

We go over Nevada's lack of depth with the season-ending injury to Lindsey Drew and how that could impact the Wolf Pack the rest of the way. Sleeper teams are a big topic as there are as many as five Mountain West teams that could win the conference tournament.

Jeremy and Eli are back for another hoops podcast and we keep the conversation going about Colorado State's head coaching position now that in addition to Larry Eustachy being on administrative leave also on leave is Steve Barnes. That left Jase Herl as the interim coach. 

We brought on Justin Michael who has covered Colorado State Rams extensively to give his up close thoughts on the coaching situation with the Rams. He provides great insight that is worth following and we are also helping him to get to Las Vegas for the Mountain West tournament now that he is a freelance writer. You can help just by going here and donate a few bucks if you are inclined, or just share the page for awareness.

Jeremy and Eli wrap the show talking about the important upcoming games this week in league play and who could make a surprise come March.

Jeremy is back going solo with a special edition of the Mountain West Wire podcast as we discuss what is going on in the New Mexico athletics department, and specifically with Bob Davie and the football program. We are joined by Daniel Libit of NMFishBowl.com who has been covering Lobos athletics from a big picture view. Libit has been profiled in the New York Times about his efforts which have been labeled as "Watchdogging the Lobos."

Libit can be credited with being one of the most aggressive reporters into UNM athletics and the Bob Davie situation specifically. We go over the allegations, the suspension, the appeal by Davie and how this situation is a big picture mess for a broke New Mexico athletic department.
