PSU @ WSU - Guess the Score

Weber State- 34
Dominic Waters Alma- 13 (Dang, gonna miss playing him, was fun player to watch)

just what I'm hoping for, don't neccessarily believe though.
 
Weber only scored 16 on ISU, what makes anyone think we can score more on PSU?

I'll believe it when I see it, I want to say the Wildcats are going to win, but I havent seen anything from them yet that tells me they CAN win this game.
 
Hmmm. We could fumble it away? But no, I think we're likely to win this one. We're getting the hang of the Pistol now, and our defense appears to be sound.
 
PSU has traditionally not done that well in Ogden---until now. I thnk there is a new instinct afoot. So long as the fumbles and preventable errors remain within control limits, PSU has a very good chance to defeat Weber County in their own stadium. Good discipline, good consistency, good win.

Portland State 38 Weber County 23
 
It may be that ISU's secondary was too strong for Higgins - 4 interceptions. Or maybe he had an off day. If the former, PSU's Latu, Shead et al can certainly cover as well as ISU - I'd expect at least 2 picks. If the former - well, either way it doesn't bode well for Weber. WSU's running game is competent, but not enough to win on its own. Higgins isn't a runner; Kavanaugh is. Together with McCaffrey they pile up a lot of yards. Higgins is the better passer, but Kavanaugh is pretty good, and - so far- hasn't had interceptions. There's a reason why PSU leads the conference in total offensive yards.

PSU ought to win this game. BUT. Last week we had 7 count them 7 fumbles. It's incredible that we were in the game to the end. Burton must be tearing out what little hair he has. I'm going to pretend we've turned the corner, no more fumbles, and are now ready to win some games. PSU 35 WSU 14.

PORTLAND IS NOT A STATE!!!!!!!!!!!

More like a city-state, it being a metropolitan area of 2.3 million, the 23rd largest in the nation. The multitude here exceeds the populations found in quite a list of states. Yes, Portland is not a state per se, but then so neither are Boise, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Fresno, Grambling, Jackson, Jacksonville, Kent, Long Beach, Morehead, Murray, Norfolk, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Savannah, Wichita, Youngstown.

We all follow the same pattern: [City] State University.

I'll be honest with you. I don't like the name Weber State and never have. You deserve a better name. To me, the name represents a missed opportunity for Utahns to have provided greatness in naming one of their universities. But after Utah and Utah State, what else remains in the public domain? Utah Tech? Northern Utah University?

Universities mandate names reflecting greatness, usually it is geographical. PSU fits the pattern by naming itself after a great metropolis. So why name your university after a surrounding county? Or is it the river? This seems an odd thing to do considering the magnitude of each. Why not call your university Ogden State University? It has a good ring to it, a pleasant image and that is where it is. But does Ogden lack sufficient greatness to merit the university being named in its honor?

If that is the case, the solution is to step up to include the whole county? But doesn't that only work if the county name itself has greatness? Who is this German immigrant John Henry Weber anyway and why should anyone care about him? If he is someone only appealing to Utahns, his perceived greatness may not be convincing to others.

Wayne State University is perhaps the only other university of note that does the same thing: It does not call itself Detroit State but rather names itself after the surrounding county. The reason may be attributable to Detroit's disrepute of late. Disrepute certainly does not apply to Ogden.
 
I agree, they could have come up with a better name. I understand Mr. Weber was a scumbag. So was Mr. Ogden for that matter.
 
What a great basis for a social movement among the students in Ogden: The Campaign to Rename Weber State University (no names of scumbags allowed).
