Today, the Mountain West released their 2011 football schedule, the television schedule will be released later on. The non-conference slate is strong against teams like Arkansas, Wisconsin, BYU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska and others.
Wyoming must have some slick talking athletic director to have gotten Texas to come to Laramie and now Nebraska to come to town this year. The most awkward game of the year will be when San Diego State travels to take on Michigan and their former coach Brady Hoke on Sept. 24, and if the Aztecs win that will put Brady Hoke on the hot seat immediately at Michigan.
Perception wise Boise State traveling to Georgia is a big deal since the last time they went to SEC country Boise State was crushed, and that opponent just happened to be Georgia. Then there is the TCU vs. BYU game at Cowboys Stadium.
Check the schedule after the jump.
