2013-2014 WAC Preview

First off, I would like to say Happy New Year! It feels good to be in the blogging mood again. Western Athletic Conference play begins tomorrow night. This year, only three teams remain in the WAC from last season: defending champions New Mexico State, Idaho, and Seattle. Will these three teams completely demolish the other six new coming teams in the conference? Or will the new schools like Grand Canyon or Chicago State make some noise? Without further ado, lets preview the 2013-2014 WAC season.
