Warm 70 degree day here in Boise. More like summer than fall. Our fist light rain since May last eve - woods are still like toast. Stopped cutting and wrapping venison long enough to watch the game - our defense was strong. Atkinson and the D line have been a nice surprise. QB Southwick is a work in progress - he sure gets a lot of crap for being 5-1. Expected more from Fresno QB Carr - he looked flustered. Nevada pulled it together vs UNLV - bummer. The Dec 1 game will be the conference championship. Oh yeah - daughter Snow's doe was way bigger than my buck. Almost too hot to hunt. Global warming?
Oh, and...kindergartener's fall festival, Cherohala for some leaf looking, lots of Plott hound play in the backyard, sunny, 75 degrees at 1000 feet and 60 at 5000, chili dogs, football, cupcakes. Much to smile about and be thankful for today. :)
Sadly, I have to agree with you. I personally like Mack Brown, I think he is a true gentleman, and at one time, a great coach. But I fear that his time has passed, or, he just hasn't kept up. When he cleaned house a couple of years ago, he should have looked in the mirror and realized he was at fault and not the coaching staff he let go.
It seems like just yesterday.... http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16982728&postcount=731 http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16983048&postcount=735 http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16983804&postcount=740 http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16985438&postcount=743 Edit: just to be clear, what I'm saying is that a year ago you were singing the praises of Texas, saying how much better off they were without Muschamp, saying Diaz was a better coordinator, and you stated that Muschamp wasn't up for the job in Gainesville. One would think that if Texas had kept Muschamp and given him Mack Brown's job, it could be Texas in the top 5 instead of Florida. Funny how much things can change in a year.
And from very late night news--- The first out of State win since 2007. Yes, that is five years ago for you non-accountants. Also now being above .500 for the first time in "over four years." Yes sirs, and madam Theee University of New Mexico Lobos dominated Hawaii to move to 4-3 on the season. Bob Davie, has shown good coaching does matter. I am impressed and as you can tell excited. It is fun to have the Lobos moving in the right direction. Even now I hear whispers moving to out right talk of the Lobos making a third tier bowl. Quotes- from GoLobos.com
And Wyoming's coach turns into a total ass after the game (on military appreciation day at that!) with his petty tirade about the AF QB having to come out after having lost his helmet in the previous play. This is a NCAA rule in case he didn't know. On the other hand the Wyo coach is the same flippin' idiot who called for a 2 point conversion after Wyo's first TD. It failed. Wyo lost by a point. Next week: UNM. Sorry Jurgen, I'll be rooting for the zoomies.
I'll be heading South for UTEP/Tulane. But it sucks, cause I would have also liked to hit CC v AFA in hockey then AFA/UNM... if they had scheduled football earlier then one could have the tri-fecta and go up to watch DU hosting AFA. Most of the year AFA gets my cheer-- cept for CSt and UNM.
