The third-seeded Boise State Broncos fell to rival San Diego State in the Mountain West quarterfinals and ended their season, for now.

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk actual football news as we discuss the NFL Combine as well as start to talk about spring football. There was a ton of news in spring we will discuss more next week so that we keep the shows about one hour.

In the combine news, we try to decide which Mountain West back will have the best NFL career and/or get selected first. Jeremy eats some crow about Jalen Robinette vs. Calvin Johnson. Yes, Megatron was a freak with his 4.35 speed but Robinette has size and can catch nearly anything that is thrown his way.

Also, SDSU's stadium situation keeps getting wild as there is a real possibility that the Aztecs could play at least one season at Petco Park.

Jeremy and Eli are back to preview the Mountain West tournament. We dive into the bracket and make predictions on what team is hot at the right time (hint: only Nevada) and what teams could cause an upset. The tournament starts late morning on the West Coast with an intriguing opening round game between San Jose State and Utah State, but do not expect the winner go move on farther than that in the bracket.

A few teams to watch for who are not in the top three seeds are San Diego State who has experience in the tournament and has been a mainstay in the title game over the past decade, Fresno State who won the whole thing last year and then New Mexico who is great at getting to the free throw line and they have Tim Williams back who is a big help.

The odds favor Nevada winning the whole thing and it looks right now that they are only going to get into the NCAA Tournament by winning the Mountain West tournament. So, it is a winner take all scenario.

Also. Jeremy and Eli have a stupid upset title game prediction.

Jeremy and Eli are back for the final regular season baskeball show. The duo focus a lot on the winner-take-all conference title game on Saturday that features Colorado State at Nevada which also happens to be their first and only matchup of the year -- that is due to unbalanced scheduling with 11 Mountain West teams.

We both make the same pick as to who will win the conference title and yes we realize it is not ideal that this game is only on ESPN3, but there are plenty of ways to find that game with your pay TV provider.

We discuss end of season awards and also what New Mexico could accomplish with Tim Williams cleared to start practicing.

We spend the hour breaking down our favorite songs, making fun of terrible one's and trying to figure out the seeding. Play along with us and create your own bracket.
