Aztecs’ 10-year streak in jeopardy as bowls begin to disappear
To be honest, this doesn’t just apply to San Diego State, but perhaps the entire Mountain West. With ESPN and others slowly axing events like bowl games, it’s becoming increasingly unlikely that bowl season will be as robust as we’re accustomed to.

Anyone counting this bizarre, asterisk-laden season to the history books in an attempt to break streaks is being ridiculous.

More hype for Boise State men’s basketball
Leon Rice tells me that this is most talented team he's had at Boise State. Also adds that three transfers --- Marcus Shaver (Portland), Emmanuel Akot (Arizona), and Mladen Armus (ETSU) --- are all likely starters.
