Hout, as many Coeur d’Alene area residents recall, is a former standout player for Van Troxel’s Lake City High Timberwolves. No. 3 ranked Boise State defeated No. 10 Virginia Tech (Nos. 5 & 6, respectively, in coaches poll) to lay early claims to a shot at national title game. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)

Sportscaster Brent Musburger, who hails from Montana, had high words of praise for the Coeur d’Alene area during Boise State’s victory over Virginia Tech in Washington, D.C., last night. After former Lake City High star Byron Hout made a tackle in the second half, Musburger told his broadcast partner  Kirk Herbstreit about Coeur d’Alene, urging him to go to Idaho and to go up north to Coeur d’Alene. “It’s one of the most beautiful spots in the world — with all those lakes,” Musburger said. Herbstreit responded that Mussberger had piqued his interest in our area.

Question: Do you like to hear Coeur d’Alene and/or North Idaho mentioned in glowing terms on national television?

LeGarrette Blount, shown here in this AP file photo scoring a touchdown for the Tennessee Titans, against Seattle in an exhibition game Saturday in Seattle, punched a teammate during practice Wednesday. The rookie running back capped off a feisty night practice with a short punch to the helmet of defensive end Eric Bakhtiari a few moments after having his own helmet ripped off for the second time in as many plays. As you recall, Blount was kicked off the Oregon Ducks team for several games last year when he punched Boise State’s Byron Hout, a former Lake City High star, after the Broncos beat Oregon in the season opener for both teams. AP story here.

Question: Do hot heads ever grow up?
