10-2 seems like a big reach BUT not impossible. Away at Montana is gonna be a tough one. I just want a home playoff game!

Best vs Aggies reminds me of 49ers v Bears with Ditka and Buddy Ryan. They look at as a soft, finesse team so when we match them physically, and their best punch and fight back - they get butt hurt. Oh well

bad tackling is a reflection of bad coaching. Own it, Coach!

Idaho woke up outscored them 21-2 in 3rd. 2 was blocked PAT.

Montana St 35-0 at half over PSU. Wow

Yardage? How about 417-91

Poly 14-3 over Idaho in 2nd quarter.

still a number of walking wounded in the DL. Cloyd has a broken hand but is playing cuz this is his last hurrah. Corners are hurting, so they are moving people around in the back (backups had trouble last week). It’s gonna take a heck of a coaching effort and gut check from the guys who can play!

last year they were ripe for the picking…..then Lan got hurt. Still had a chance at the end.

The defensive injuries worry me especially at the corner spots. We got exposed last week there

I asked Plough about this and they were arguing Alexander was holding the receiver, but the pass was behind the line making his actions legal.

i think we haven't moved up because prior to this year, there was no place to go. The MWC didn't need another school, and the Pac12 certainly didn't need/want us. That left....the AAC? MAC? We were stuck by geography. Now there are openings but there is a ton of uncertainty going forward with the FBS. Can the San Jose's of that world exist with the new scholarship limits without a big boast in TV revenue (i can't imagine those TruTV and CW broadcasts are big money makers). The whole landscape is screwed up. Hard for me to argue a HUGE investments in funds for a future that is so uncertain; but, then again, i'm conservative when it comes to how i spend my millions!

I think you are correct. There is a big controversy now with San Jose State's team with regard to them having a transgender player. Several MWC teams have chosen to forfeit their matches with the Spartans.

Lou was a LB from 72-74. First team all FWC as a senior. They probably didn’t talk much about his playing days because he was selected for his coaching/contributor. Not sure why they list his time as 1997-2015 in the press release. He coached much earlier than that

I think the answer is ‘no’. I think they’d like at least one more for football scheduling reasons. They’d, of course, like 12 so they can have a playoff but that’s not likely

from a basketball perspective, I think this is great. Back to 10 teams, without the scheduling considerations made for for teams traveling to Hawaii, will mean a more compact conference schedule. No more mid December conference openers (or worse, conference openers during winter break).

Plough said they were hoping he’d be back soon. I thought he might have played against Poly but must not have been cleared. I believe he’s coming back from leg surgery.

that SUU win is looking better (at least according to Sagarin)

I’ll stick with UNC as likely. EWU will take an effort like last Saturday (without allowing as many chunk plays)

Eastern feels more dangerous to me than Idaho did, mainly because they can put up points. Conversely, they seem to be able to give up points at a healthy clip. We're going to have to get off to another fast start, and play a smart, clean game on offense. I feel better about the fact that they don't seem to like to heave it down the field (not exactly a defensive strength of ours).

I just watched the Connor pick 6 and still cant figure out why Wulff was so worked up. It was a screen, our DB was fighting through the block, and Connor snuck in to pick it off. Unless there was something away from the play that set him off, I don't get it.

campus fundraising seems to be doing okay:
