Welcome back everyone, to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! After a crazy regular season led us back to the blue turf for the championship game, Ashton Jeanty and Boise State ran through UNLV to secure everything from a first round bye in the CFP to a Heisman finalist spot for their star RB. We’ll go over everything surrounding the conference championship, then it’s time to hop on the coach carousel! We had two huge switches this week, with New Mexico HC Bronco Mendenhall leaving the Lobos after one season to take the job at Utah State, and UNLV’s Barry Odom taking off for Purdue. What’s next for these two programs, and what names could be in the mix? To end the show, we’ll quickly go over each bowl eligible Mountain West team’s destination for the bowl season, and we’ll cap it off with each team's most notable transfer portal entry, and portal season is also in full swing. Mammoth episode this week, let’s dive in!

Welcome back, everyone, to the Hike’s Peak podcast! Thank you for coming back to the mountain! We’re entering the final week of the regular season, and the mayhem has just begun! Wyoming took Boise State down to the wire, but Ashton Jeanty, once again, carried his team to victory and the right to host the conference championship. On the flip side, Colorado State stumbled for the first time in Mountain West play, falling on the road to Fresno State. This now opens the door for UNLV, who handled San Jose State in rainy conditions to put the Rebels on the doorstep of a rematch with the Broncos. We’ll break down those three headlining contests, then we’ll end the show with our games of the week! First up is the battle for the Fremont Cannon, with UNLV taking on a pesky Nevada squad. And second will be New Mexico trying to make their first bowl game in 9 years at Hawaii. Lots of stops to make this week, let’s dive in!

Welcome back everyone to the Hike’s Peak podcast! Thank you for coming back to the mountain! This past week of Mountain West football was electric! Jeff Choate and Nevada took Boise State down to the wire, but somewhat controversially, fell seven points short of the upset. The Battle for the Golden Pineapple was as advertised, with UNLV outlasting Hawaii, 29-27. San Jose State clinched bowl eligibility for the third year in a row with an elite defensive performance against Oregon State, and last but not least, we had Air Force shocking the conference by upsetting Fresno State for their first FBS win of the season.

Welcome back everyone, to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! We’ve reached the halfway point of the regular season, and some teams are catching fire at the right time. Jeff Choate and Nevada got a huge upset against Oregon State, notching a landmark victory for the new regime in Reno. Jay Norvell and Colorado State won a tough battle against San Jose State, getting back to .500 and giving them a path to a bowl game or maybe even more! The frontrunners continued their dominance, as well, with UNLV putting up a 50 burger on Utah State, and Boise State cruising to a 21 point win over Hawaii, courtesy of another 200+ yard performance from Heisman favorite Ashton Jeanty. We’ll break down all of the week six action, and we’ll end the show with our game of the week, with UNLV traveling to Corvallis to take on Oregon State! Big time episode this week, so let’s dive in!

Welcome back everyone to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! Finally, we have a week without realignment news, so we can focus on football for the whole episode! UNLV lost a heartbreaker to Syracuse in overtime, potentially putting their College Football Playoff hopes on ice. Colorado State had a similar fate, falling just short of an upset of Oregon State in double OT. We’ll break both of those losses down, and then we’ll dive into Ashton Jeanty’s latest masterclass, running for another 160 yards and 3 scores in one half of play against Utah State. I’ve pulled some ridiculous stats about his start to the season, along with an update on his Heisman campaign. Then, we’ll end the show by going over our game of the week, with Fresno State hosting Washington State. Lots of stops to make today, so let’s dive in!

Welcome back to the mountain! After a very stressful two weeks, the Mountain West has officially survived to see another day. UNLV announced they are staying in the conference, paving the way for the remaining seven members to sign a new bill of rights. We’ll talk about the financial reasoning behind UNLV staying home, as well as introduce the newest Mountain West school in UTEP! That wasn’t it for this week’s Vegas drama, oh no, far from it, with the Rebels starting QB Matthew Sluka stunningly announcing he was done for the season and redshirting due to not being paid his NIL wages. We’ll dive into the available information to figure out what the heck happened, who’s to blame, and what’s next for him and UNLV. As for the football talk this week, we got some time for that too, with UNLV and their new starting QB demolishing Fresno State to get their first AP ranking ever. Not to be outdone, Boise State got a statement win against Washington State, led by Ashton Jeanty, who has not only played his way into the Heisman race, but is on pace for maybe the greatest single season in the history of college football. We’ll end the show with a preview of our game of the week, with UNLV taking on Syracuse in Allegiant Stadium. Huge show this week, as always, so enjoy and bring a notepad!

Welcome back to the mountain! Week two of the realignment wars had more twists and turns than a condemned roller coaster. To summarize, the Mountain West was 15 minutes away from safety, but Utah State’s departure for the PAC 12 leaves the future of the whole conference in jeopardy. We’ll break down all of yesterday’s craziness, why those decisions were made, where the Mountain West went wrong, and how they can survive. Oh yeah, football is still played weekly! San Jose State fell just short of an upset, losing 54-52 in double OT to Washington State, but they still did more than enough to show that the Spartans are legit! Wyoming and Utah State’s woes continued, as both Jay Sawvel and Nate Dreilling are struggling to reach their program’s status quo. We’ll end the show with previews of two mammoth Week 5 matchups, with Boise State hosting undefeated Washington State and UNLV aiming to take revenge on Fresno State. It goes without saying that this is a must-listen-to episode, enjoy, and hold on tight!

Welcome back to the mountain! A bombshell report emerged late Wednesday night, with Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State officially leaving the Mountain West for the revived PAC-12! To add insult to injury, it sounds like Air Force to the American is also a done deal. With now just six full time members, what will the MW have to do to survive? What schools are on their radar? What MW team is most likely to bolt next? And, oh yeah, football! UNLV and San Jose State continued their hot start, while Colorado State and Wyoming both laid another egg, warming their head coaches' seats substantially. Mammoth episode this week, enjoy!
