Congrats on beating a crappy Wazzu! Definitely a signature victory for the program! My point wasnt that it was a huge win, but that those who choose to bash the FB program here often have their facts wrong...which was just proven. But you must not be too sharp either since you post something at me that I wasn't even saying. This board is filled with some real smarties, welcome to the club This board is also filled with some sassy clowns apparently

Rocky Longs sure talks a tough game... for never having won any game of consequence (and yeah, a third tier bowl game is of absolutely no consequence whatsoever).

Yeah, winning at Boise in 2012, which only 4 teams since 2001 have done to earn a share of the Mtn West Championship was meaningless....the fact that you either don't know that or don't think that is impressive tells me everything I need to know about your Aztec FB smarts...

Anything related to MWC football is pretty much meaningless... probably why we have all these threads about joining a P5. Beating an in-conference opponent is not much to write home about. We play these teams every single year. It's no where near as important as beating a 'decent' P5 opponent or a 'decent' bowl opponent. Neither of which we are capable of.

Now beating Boise on the blue is no big deal because we play in the same conference? Maybe you should educate yourself on the topic and stop embarrassing yourself. www.winsipedia.com/boise-statewww.winsipedia.com/boise-state/vs/san-diego-state

Remind me how our bowl game turned out that year (in our own backyard)?

Remind me how our bowl game turned out that year (in our own backyard)? If we were talking about an older WAC or MW schools you might have a point. But, we've only played Boise 4 times ever, all over the last 4 seasons. On top of that our 1st and 2nd win against them came on the 2nd and 3rd time we ever played them...so once again you literally don't make sense(not to mention your theory is dis-proven by all the other teams in the conference that can't beat Boise). My only point this whole time is how often those trashing the program don't have the facts straight and you continue to add to that legacy. I find it sad that you would rather battle me on something you obviously don't know much about as opposed to actually look into and learn about the topic.

Remind me how our bowl game turned out that year (in our own backyard)? Imagine that No, they aren't scared of facing the Aztecs, and no, I don't think Rocky meant it that they are scared to face the Aztecs, because of the Aztecs. We absolutely need to win some of these OOC games, no one denies that. But if this FB team has so many completely disinterested, disgusted, and reduced to defeat, why even post on a FB thread? Isn't there a basketball thread bandwagon to jump all over, and leave the negativity away from those who just enjoy football, and want to see some Aztec FB? I ask rhetorically, because the answer is littered through the board. Many can't get enough of bashing the football team, which seems counterintuitive for those who say they want to see success.

All the other teams in the conference that can't beat Boise... you mean the UNLVs and UNMs of the world? Hooray! We're a step up from the absolute worst programs in the entire country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love your hypothesis that those who disagree with you... don't know much / don't have the facts straight etc. etc.

Try most programs in the nation...maybe you should actually use the link I provided you and read their winsipedia page for reference(here's a hint we have a better record against Boise than Oregon). Don't be mad at me that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Why post a thread / ask a question... if you don't want honest replies? I can only assume (with a few exceptions) that those who take the time to post here have a vested interest in seeing SDSU do well across the board (academically and athletically). At some point, results have to come to fruition. Or maybe we can just agree to ban all P5 threads in the future?

haha, he still doesn't get it... Some of us actually get that a lot of Aztec football fans are just as delusional as Rocky Long. Fine, now tell me one thing I posted that was not correct or that overstated the status of our FB program. I'll wait. Oh, and for reference in regard to the original topic of this thread, here is what is actually in the linked blog article. "I've got no problem with going to North Carolina, like we did last year, or going to Penn State, like we do this year." Long said at Mountain West media days. "If they'll come back to San Diego State. I've got no problem with that, but I think it should be home-and-home."
But he knows teams like that will never schedule a Home and Home series because they have no incentive or in Long's words: "Because they're afraid."
Long feels that schools from the Power five have no reason to play a return game because due to playoff positioning if a team like Alabama or even a Texas travels to San Diego to play the Aztecs a loss would instantly take them out of the playoff picture. Long who believes that the current playoff system precludes mid majors from playing for the National title. Under the current system the odds are against the group of five teams. Getting in the playoff would require a school like San Diego State to go undefeated, upset a couple of top tier Power Five schools while finishing the season with a Mountain West Conference title and the hope that none of the Power Five schools have less than two losses. Even with that much going for them they may still be left out.He's making the obvious connection to the truth that fewer and fewer P5 schools are giving HnH's to G5 schools.

Haha, so you are back to the beating Boise in Boise means nothing statement again? You are entitled your opinion, even if quantitative analysis proves its a fallacy, I guess. You keep making statements I provide evidence that shows you are in left field and instead of manning up to not knowing what you were talking about you decide to forge ahead. Go for it...

What does that quantitative analysis show for our bowl game vs. BYU? We got our asses handed to us on our home field... Sure glad that gigantic, program-changing victory over Boise State carried us to a meaningful victory... oh wait... it didn't.
