So this story, shockingly, has a lot of information on Utah and BYU; however, the author does mention Weber State, though quickly, and he says some good things about the Big Sky; also quickly. Some publicity is better than no publicity (sp?).

Yet, evidently the homework he did on Weber isn't very thorough. Yes, Weber did lose Higgins (tough act to follow, but I think Hoke will do great) and two excellent recievers (irreplaceable?? No...Good, Yes!), but Weber brings back practically its entire defense, that improved drastically as the season went on, and a lot of experience on offense. I don't need to say it again, but why not...Weber has one of the top FCS OL's coming back (yes the right side is great, but the left side isn't that far behind and our center is pretty damn good, not to mention we have some awesome backups: Alex Land could have started last year).

Anyway, I do like how the article states two things: 1. The Big Sky is loaded and finishing in the middle isn't going to be considered a bad thing (I am, personally, hoping for a top three finish, it'll be tough, but thats why we play the game); and 2. He says that Utah's opening game against #5 MSU isn't going to be easy. I hope the Bobcats put a good scare into the "mighty" Utes at Rice Eccles.

Oh, he also has USU at #5 in the WAC, which, next year, would put them at the top of their conference; once Hawaii, Fresno State, and Nevada leave for the greener pastures of the MWC (yeah playing CSU, WYO, UNLV, and New Mexico is such an improvement :rofl: ).

The Deseret News covers Weber State pedestrian at best. Basically, they rip everything off from the Standard-Examiner and pass it off as their own, before sharing it with KSL. hno:
