The deck isn't as stacked as you think. This isn't the Utah State program of old. There's much more alumni money coming in, Andersen has seriously upgraded the recruiting, the coaching staff is rock solid (best OC in the state by a MILE), 2 more years of Chuckie Keeton (best in-state QB by a MILE), and momentum.
My guess is, BYU heads up to Logan next year and leaves with a loss. Utah had better be on their game when the Aggies come to SLC, or they will be staring at 2 straight losses to USU. Is Utah State the best program in the state right now? Obviously no, but Utah and BYU fans are foolish if they don't accept the fact that the gap is closing. If Gary Andersen is serious about staying at USU for the next few years, the momentum isn't going to stop.
The thing with Utah State is that they finally have depth and speed at the skilled positions. The loss of Kerwynn Williams will hurt, but Joe Hill will step right in and be the best RB in the state next year. The challenge for the Aggies will be the move to the MWC and the step up in competition, although the Ags would've handled most of the MWC teams this year.
It's cool USU is doing well, but I'll go on record that I think they just experienced the best season they will ever have.

Game day!
Looking like a somewhat chili day here in Boise. Should be a good day and a good game.
Lets go Aggies!
Gotta love the blue turf...

Chuckie Football!!
That blue turf just pisses me off. I can't stand watching a game on TV there for more than 10 minutes.
Lucky for me I switched it back in time to see Keeton run for the TD.
midnight...it looks like the stadium is mostly full. Is it a lot of locals or did half of Logan travel up?
It is pretty full up here. There are a lot of people that did travel up. Its pretty biased in the stands haha.
So far its been a good game. I'd like to see the Aggies pull ahead more though. Hopefully they can come out strong to start the second half.

So...
do Boise State fans think their turf is cool? Or are they embarrassed about it at this point?
Kind of a cool gimmicky marketing type thing to make a name for yourself, but now that they are kind of on the map it just screams small time.
