We're the new kid on the block. This is where Utah State wants to be.

Utah is no longer considered a flyover state.

I think Utah State is a better team than Montana was. They're closer to what Pacific was.

It's almost like we're the new kid on the block. There's a lot of rethinking going on in the marketplace as advertisers try and figure out what is the right thing to do in today's bold new environment. There are so many elements that have come together to suggest new ways of doing things.

I was really pleased that my team applauded when Utah State got in because they deserve to be in. They're an excellent team, a very class act and a team that will represent our conference well.

I think you've got to look at Nevada, Utah State and Louisiana Tech immediately.
