Stew Morrill on scheduling, especially in-state

There's not necessarily anything new here but Stew Morrill is quoted quite a bit in this Shawn Harrison article about scheduling. When he talks about BYU, it doesn't come across as sending out shots across the bow but more as just matter of fact.

First of all, I'm a die hard New Mexico State Aggies fan so naturally, the thought of the Utags gags me. But I do respect their traditioned program. I think they have one of the great coaches in college basketball that has stuck around Logan instead of seeking higher pay at a bigger school. I respect that. But my only problem with the Utags lately has been their gutless schedules. Of course they're 5-1. The only good non-conference teams they play are their in state rivals of BYU and Utah. The rest of the schedule includes Cupcake State, Montana A&M Tech, and the scrappy Houston Baptist.
C'mon Stew! Have some balls. This is mid-major college hoops and for some reason, you refuse to go play great teams from premere conferences. Maybe thats why you lose first round NIT games against 7th place Big 10 teams. Represent the WAC with some balls.
