Two More Petty Moves By the MWC: 1/31/2011

Anyone Besides Jimmer Score 43 on SDSU Last Week?
How on earth could anybody other than Jimmer Fredette be the MWC Player of the Week last week?  No player ever in the history of the conference had a more high-profile performance in a more high-stakes game.  No player has ever brought so much notoriety to the conference in a single week, with the entire nation talking about the game, the performance, the MWC.  He dropped 43 points on the 4th-ranked team in the country and single-handedly willed his team to victory.  I repeat, in the highest stakes game ever played in the MWC, against one of the best defensive teams in the history of the conference, he scored 43 points on a night where only one other player on his team scored in double figures.  He follows it up with a 32-point performance on the road in the biggest armpit in the MWC.  The country was entirely enthralled with Jimmer all week long.  What more could a single player in this joke of a conference possibly do to represent the conference in a better way or have a better week?  Good riddance, MWC!  One other thing I will not miss about the most ridiculous conference in America: New Mexico cheerleaders getting on the megaphone and yelling in BYU players' ears after they are called for fouls, travels, etc.

TCU-Boise State Game Moved
In other recent petty moves by the MWC, the MWC has announced that the TCU-Boise State football game will be played in Boise, instead of Fort Worth, where it was originally scheduled to be played.  Why?  I find no other reason than that the MWC is a bunch of bush league people running a bush league.  Add this to the list of grievances so many of us had with the way this "organization" was run.  WHAT A JOKE!  No wonder BYU, Utah, and TCU couldn't wait to get out!  I'm sure Boise State and Hawaii will be jumping ship as soon as they can too.
