I'm really happy about this. What a great day in sports -- when PSU beats Gonzaga in basketball, and BSU loses to TCU in football.

Since there's not a whole lot of recent joy for Bengal fans, thank goodness for schadenfreude.
that just makes me feel even worse about our performance of late
this is bad, very bad
every Bengal fan should be concerned, we are no where close to being that competitive and it doesn't appear as if we will be anytime soon, so much for the we will be good come conference argument

Idaho State looked horrible today. I have some concerns as well--some of the same that you do.
However, your statement was meant to strike a chord and it did. Don't hate on me for still believing in this coaching staff and the team.
My offer of a bet to you simply shows that I am willing to stand by what I say and stick by this team.
This was a thread meant to complement Portland State in victory--not a thread meant for you to slam fans that believe in defeat.

PSU Win:
It was the first win by a Big Sky team over a ranked team since Montana upset No. 20 Nevada in the first round of the 2006 NCAA tournament. It was the biggest regular-season upset by a Big Sky team since Eastern Washington stunned No. 10 St. Joseph at a neutral site in 2001.
In 1977, Idaho State upset No. 2 UCLA in the NCAA Tournament. Weber State upset No. 11 Michigan State in the 1995 NCAA Tournament, and No. 13 North Carolina in the 1999 NCAA Tournament. Other upsets of note this decade by Big Sky teams include Cal State Northridge's upset of No. 15 UCLA in 2000 at Pauley Pavilion, and Montana's upset of No. 17 Stanford in 2002 in Palo Alto.
Looks like ISU owns the conf record for win over the highest ranked team.

What no one took into account was that PSU was obviously on and Gonzaga was obviously off...remember it was tied going into the final minute. Arizona State was on and Idaho State was off...hence the result of 35 points....normally with both teams playing the way they can, it's closer than that.
Jay Bilas said this and he is dead on...most teams play 30 games. Three or four you play WAY OVER your head, three or four you play WAY UNDER and the other 22-24 is what you are. Think back to last year...Northern Colorado at our place...WAY over their heads. EWU at PSU last year..WAY OVER there head....but PSU was playing a normal game at home, so they held on.
It's interesting, but I refuse to fall into the doomsday attitude of protege...we won't know til we get there.

What is with you and the drug metaphor? Are you trying to tell us something?
I'm getting tired of the damn doomsday talk. If you're so obsessed with losing and negativity, go somewhere else. We will gladly accept logical explanations, not the constant, "omfg we're doomed" approach.
I have dealt with worse in sports and my personal life. Setbacks at ISU don't faze me one damn bit. If I were to give up on ISU just because we're having scoring issues, I'd never be able to enjoy sports again.
Setbacks and failures? Bring it. A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor teams without trials and tribulations.
I'm willing to be patient-I'll wait my entire life if it comes to that.
Besides, you haven't answered my question, boy...what are you gonna do about it?
