Welcome back everyone to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! It’s time for the bowl season special, as we have the five remaining Mountain West teams ending their seasons this week. We’ll go through all five of those, complete with previews and predictions, and we’ll also go over Utah State’s loss in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, and what to take from Bronco Mendenhall’s first season in Logan. No time to waste, let’s dive right in!
Quick plug before we get started, last week I released my transfer portal team of the year! It featured 78 players across all three teams, each of them getting a write-up on their journey to the Mountain West, along with an honorable mention section and overall trends that I found during the process. In total, it spans four parts and over 20,000 words, so don’t feel like you have to read all of it, but maybe scroll through and look at the stories of some of your favorite players from 2025! Did you know that Nevada kicker Joe McFadden spent the previous year on Wall Street? Or that Colorado State tight end Rocky Beers has THREE siblings that played college sports? There’s numerous fun facts like that throughout the series, so please check that out!
