Gotta admit, I thoroughly enjoyed that Boise State/Virginia Tech football game — and consider Boise State to be a legitimate contender for the national title now. I know some of you Idaho Vandal fans don’t like anything Bronco. But I have think it’s swell that an Idaho team is considered one of the top 3 in the nation. I (heart) what Akey & his army have done with Idaho (although I don’t know if I can watch next Saturday’s game in Nebraska). But I’m also thrilled with the job Coach Pete has done in Boise. I just needed to say that before I get into serious blogging this week. Now for your Wild Card …

Good for General Patreus for pointing out the obvious to the ignorant.

Same words could be said for the Park 51 project.

I live in Boise, and I already suffer from blue and orange fatigue.
It’s all you hear about down here.
Football, schmootball ….
I don’t care.

Agreed Scootermom. There would have been no need for any education funding cuts if all the money going into pointlessly self indulgent BSU car flags flying everywhere here today could have found its way into buying some textbooks.
Dave, I thought of you and Cindy when I ran across this article from Bob Wire. It might be a good poll question, Facebook is Jumping the Shark.

I do so enjoy the kickoff of the annual rivalry amongst the fans/boosters/fake alumni of Idaho and Boise State.
I particularly cherish the constant bickering over who has the best sports and/or academic program and/or who has the less photosensitive seizure-inducing field in the oddly-shaped state of Idaho, even though (or especially, who knows!) this (IMHO) sort of chest-puffery is akin to a couple of Night Train-drenched derelicts arguing with slurred spittle-projecting invectives and the near-continual threat-displaying of broken handled steak knives in a dark rain-streaked alley, which semi-gnawed old food chunk they’ve retrieved from successful dumpster dives behind some ubiquitous Mongolian Barbecue restaurant is best prepared and tastiest.

That Boise State game was FANTASTIC. And I hear the Idaho Vandals are having a great season as well. And does EWU have any idea how severe of a travesty their new RED football field is? I bet it’ll throw off quarterbacks and receivers.
