I’m still chuckling at a fixation to want to predict an Idaho victory. If you scratch the Simon Fraser game (and that’s a heavily moral obligation, and look what WOU did to them “today”), Idaho’s best defensive performance was to limit Davis to 27. Which Idaho lost.

There’s a hilarious “worst win ever?” thread on eGriz.

And I’m going to place a not-so-random sidebar here because I don’t think it deserves its own thread here. ESPN College Gameday does an FCS visit almost every year, kind of an obligation on their part. More than one Big Sky board has mentioned some speculation that they’ll end up in Cheney for EWU v Montana State next Saturday. That could be, um, interesting. Which may not be as interesting as if they choose to go to El Paso instead because UTEP will be playing an undefeated Texas-San Antonio. A curiosity.

The meltdown on eGriz could gain fire if Northern Colorado keeps it close next week, which is entirely possible given that the game is in Greeley and not Missoula. :lol:

Weber seems to have righted the ship, which doesn't bode well for us next week. hno:

Vandals have Southern Utah at home so I should get that one correct. :thumb:

The last time Davis played in a dome, Idaho State beat them. Now, not only do they have to play indoors but they have altitude to contend with at NAU.

Interesting slate of games next week, for sure. :nod:
