The Slice

Re: Walter Bros. next sports road trip

So my alma mater's football team might be EWU's first opponent in the upcoming Slightly Saner Division playoffs.

Which brings up this question: Which team would I root for?

On the one hand, there's loyalty to your school and all. (Even if you are more inclined to make donations to the Forestry Dept. or School of Communications than to sports programs.)

But on the other hand, if EWU wins its way to the Less Hype Division championship game -- which it certainly could -- the SR might send my colleague Ralph Walter and his unemployed older brother on another road trip. I happen to know their dispatches have been extremely popular with readers in the past. And I am in favor of people enjoying the experience of reading the newspaper.

So it's a tough call. I'll have to mull it.

Meantime I can just sit and wonder how on God's green Earth Montana got a first-round bye.
