Would have been nice to get New Mexico but I can see the draw there with Alford and glad we didn't given our current situation

So if Bradley is selected to participate in the 2012-2013 season, I guess this means we'll get a home game.

Bradley to visit Wyoming in 2011 Challenge

Unless things drastically turn around Bradley will definitely be left out of the 2012 MVC/MWC challenge. The Braves are going to finish last in the Valley and I think that is the first thing they look to when considering who to leave out.

Not exactly sure why ISU is being left out of next year's, though maybe it was determined the game with Fresno St. could kind of be considered as part of the challenge. Evansville would have been left out but they already missed the first one, so SIU is out because they finished next to last in 2010.

It is the first of a set of punishments for that horrid schedule and the bad "Just for Men"-job...

By playing Rutgers and one of UI and Richmond next year, ISU has already filled their personal quota of tough games so they didn't need the MWC as much as the others

I know most of you don't care too much, but I am SUPER PUMPED. I'm getting my doctorate at Wyoming, but I'm preparing to get my ass kicked by Cowboys in roughly a year.

Thought of you when I saw the announcement. BU will have at least one fan at the game!

Absolutely. If anyone is making the trip out, I'll show you a good time in Laramie.

Shameless Promotion Alert!

The Chief Executive of the "2010-2012 BF.com MVC Regular Season Game Pick Em Contest" (me) has decided that I WILL INCLUDE the MVC Bracket Buster Games in the separate 2H MVC Regular Season Game Pick Em Contest.

More information to come!

[Future Walk-On]

Absolutely. If anyone is making the trip out, I'll show you a good time in Laramie.

Laramie as in Ft. Laramie from the Oregon Trail?

I'll stop by if I need supplies.

No, no. Ft. Laramie is a couple hours away and has a population of 50. UW is in Laramie, and it's the 3rd biggest city in the state.

The MWC will have 11 members in 2012. Every Valley team will be in it.

Edit: Hawaii will be football-only, so there would only be 10 basketball members. Still enough for everyone to participate.
