Mountain West Wire

Jeremy and Matt are back to look ahead at Week 8 Mountain West football which features another week of only conference games with five games.

Things get started with a pair of Friday night games with Nevada hosting Air Force and Colorado State traveling to New Mexico. Will there be an upset?

The biggest game of the week is Fresno State traveling to San Diego State which is a very surprising game with first place on the line in the Western Division.

The other game is "The Safety Dance" game with Boise State taking on Wyoming in Boise.

Jeremy and Eli are back to preview the upcoming Boise State Bronocs basketball season. There is a lot to like about this team with the return of Chandler Hutchison who tested the NBA Draft waters last year. The two lament over the loss of Nick Duncan who has moved on from the program

The Broncos bring a few key transfers which should keep them near the top of the conference and be one of the teams to challenge for the conference title.

Jeremy and Matt are back to discuss a wild Week 7 that was not only nuts for the Mountain West but the entirety of the FBS with four top 10 teams losing. In this week's show we discuss the San Diego State loss and how the Aztecs, as well as Boise State and Colorado State, can still make a big money bowl game.

The other crazy games include Colorado State holding off Nevada and Fresno State sitting at the top of the West Division standings as the only undefeated team in that division.

Jeremy and Matt are back to bring you the first full week of only Mountain West games, and also every game is on Saturday.

We start the show with a look back at the first half of the season with some awards like best player, best and worst games and best coaching job.

Next, we dive into the games which features some interesting matchups like Utah State hosting Wyoming as both hosts are trying to figure out who is this Aggies team.

Colorado State takes on Nevada in a game where the Rams are looking to have a complete and dominant game against an opponent they should easily beat.

We end the show on the biggest game of the weekend between San Diego State and Boise State. These two teams have not played in two years since they are in opposite divisions. You better believe it is a rivalry game.

Matt has a stupid upset pick this week as well.

Jeremy and Matt are back to go over Week 6 games and wonder why national polls are disrespecting San Diego State despite having better wins than South Florida, UCF and Navy. The Aztecs had its first blowout of the year as they topped UNLV in Las Vegas.

The games started on Friday night with Boise State finally showing up in the running game with Alexander Mattison being the first Broncos running back to rush for over 100 yards since last year's win over UNLV.

Nevada looked really good in its win over Hawaii, and consequently the Warriors have issues on defense and commit far too many penalties. 

Let's not gloss over the fact Air Force played Navy in one of the best games in the history of the Commander-In-Chief trophy.

Jeremy and Matt are back to discuss Week 6 of Mountain West football. Before we do the two discuss a report out of New Mexico that is pretty damning against head coach Bob Davie, if true. We discuss that piece and caution about believing everything within the article.

After that, we get into the games which feature a Friday night tilt between BYU hosting Boise State and the big question is if the Broncos will be making a change to their offense at all.

Fresno State travels to San Jose State and even if the Bulldogs get the win we may not know too much about this team. The first leg of the Commander-in-Chief trophy starts with Air Force going to Navy and for the Falcons this is a must-win game.

Apologizes to those wanting to hear about Nevada vs. Hawaii and San Diego State vs. UNLV, but we had tech issues and lost that part of the show.

Jeremy and Eli start up the 2017-18 Mountain West basketball season preview by starting with the Air Force Falcons. This Falcons team will have a tough time this year moving up from their last place finish last year. Part of that is because of the style of play the Falcons play and also the fact they are not able to get elite athletes to Colorado Springs.

The two do come up with a way to give Air Force an edge with their 19-plus players they have on their roster, but based on what the Falcons have done in the past it seems unlikely that head coach Dave Pilipovich will change his scheme.

Jeremy and Matt are back to go over everything in Week 5 of Mountain West play. We discuss if Utah State is a bowl team after thrashing BYU by forcing seven turnovers in the win. New Mexico and Air Force scored all the points and we told you to take the over.

Wyoming's Josh Allen is sort of back and San Diego State keeps winning with defense, special teams and offense. Nevada is a complete mess and just maybe Fresno State found a quarterback.

Week 5 of the podcast is here and Jeremy and Matt spend a good 90 minutes talking about the games this week which begin on Friday night with Utah State hosting BYU.

On Saturday there are a lot of late games, so spend your day wisely getting ready. There is a mix of conference games like Nevada vs. Fresno State, UNLV vs. San Jose State and Colorado State at Hawaii; and also a few non-conference games in Wyoming hosting Texas State and a big game in San Diego State hosting Northern Illinois.

We also talk about the future for SDSU and their hopes of maybe crashing the playoff and what games Aztec fans should be monitoring this weekend.

We start the show discussing a blogging friend Brian Towle of Corn Nation who passed away suddenly this week and his wife needs help with not only funeral costs but sending him back to Nebraska. He has helped us a ton when a Mountain West team played Nebraska and he helped cover a bowl game when his Huskers didn't go but it was a Mountain West team instead. If you could spare a few bucks, or even just share their GoFundMe page, it would be a great gesture.

Jeremy and Matt are back to recap Week 4 which had an overtime game, wild rain storm, a few blow outs and a surprise defensive effort.

We start with Boise State's loss against Virgnia and discuss the expectations fans should have with this program. It is OK to be upset but calling for Bryan Harsin to be fired is a bit much.

New Mexico used defense, special teams and a third-string quarterback to get a win. Then we have San Diego State braving the rain to hold off Air Force's upset bid. The night cap saw an overtime game where Wyoming topped Hawaii. We also ask the question about who the heck is Utah State.
