Blog readers got saw this first here, but here it is again – Air Force’s Sept. 11 plans. Really do think they’ve put together some touching tributes that day. And if you follow me on Twitter you heard me say that I can’t believe this game isn’t sold out. I don’t get that, to be honest. Huge game, with the 9/11 tributes as a bonus. Hate to sound like Air Force’s ticket director, but makes no sense to me if this game isn’t sold out.
Here’s the story on Ben Cochran’s move back to quarterback. Will be interesting to see if he can make a legitimate run at the punting job over the next couple weeks.
A lot of talk on Twitter about the MWC story, and BYU’s future.
Really well-written story by Les Carpenter of Yahoo! on Ben Garland, and his impending decision.
A preview story by USA Today.
Around the Mountain West/service academies: TCU beat guy Stefan Stevenson predicts a perfect season for the Horned Frogs. I totally agree. … Tight end Eric Peltz will be featured more for Colorado State. … San Diego State isn’t going to get fancy on offense. … Still a QB battle at UNLV. … Skipped over this yesterday, but the BYU QB race is still dead even. I’m pretty surprised, thought Jake Heaps would have won it by now. … B.R. Holbrook is New Mexico’s starting quarterback. … A look at Army’s corners. … Navy is still looking for a punt returner.
So is BYU staying now?

That’s what that story says. I haven’t heard that from any of my sources, and I haven’t seen that in any other report (so nobody else has heard that from their sources either, I’d figure). But that is one of the two options: they stay, or they go. So perhaps it will be right.
