Matt and Jeremy are back to preview possibly the best Mountian West bowl matchup when Houston takes on Fresno State in the Hawaii Bowl. The biggest name in this game is Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver who was a consensus All-American and won the Outland Trophy award. The Bulldogs bring a defense which is one of the two best that the Cougars have faced this year, but Houston has finaly gained some consistency of quarterback play over the past month. Finally, will Houston suffer an impact by not having an offensive coordinator since Brian Johnson left to take a job with Florida. This episode is presented by Seat Geek.

Jeremy and Matt preview the Las Vegas Bowl which features No. 25 Boise State vs. a deceptive 7-5 Oregon team. The Ducks are better than their record appears because Justin Herbert missed five games. They went 6-1 when he was healthy but 1-4 with Herbert sidelined. This game was a hard one to pick as both teams seem to mirror images of one another which makes this game tough to pick.

Things get going early on Friday afternoon when San Diego State hosts New Mexico, and look for Aztecs Rashaad Penny to have a big game after being snubbe for the Doak Walker Award.

While UNLV is looking to become bowl eligible and hope they get into the post season. The San Jose State vs. Wyoming game has some intrigue as the Cowboys are very likely to be without quarterback Josh Allen. SUPPORT THE PODCAST This episode is presented by Nature Box.

Jeremy and Eli are back to go over the first week of Mountain West basketball by discussing most of the teams. It is still early to know exactly what teams are good or not mostly because the competition has been up and down. The early assessment is that Nevada is at the top and then a mix of Wyoming, Boise State and Colorado State. Unfortunately, San Jose State brings up the other end of the spectrum.
