Skyline Sports — Weber State

CNuanez said:
Greetings Wildcat fans,

This is Colter Nuanez. I am the director of creativity and senior writer for Skyline Sports (skylinesportsmt.com), a new newspaper-style online publication covering the Big Sky Conference. I've covered the league as a newspaper sportswriter since 2006. You can read more about me here: http://skylinesportsmt.com/about-us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

With our new endeavor, we will have beat reporting on Montana State along with weekly podcasts and features about the rest of the Big Sky. I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I'll be providing Weber State features and coverage throughout the season.

Our goal is to be able to cover the entire league with the same prevalence as we give to the flagship schools. Any interest we can get going at WSU would be a huge plus. Thanks for reading, nice to meet you and don't hesitate to drop a line with comments or questions.

The Big Sky Power Rankings link isn't pointing to the correct URL, you have to change the "17" at the end of the address to a "31" (almost sounds like an Offspring song) in the browser.

Weber beats both Montana and North Dakota. Only plays 1 quarter against NAU and almost comes from behind to beat the Jacks after handing NAU a 42-9 lead. And finally, beats the living shit out of Eastern in EVERY statistical category only to lose because of poor execution in the red zone that resulted in 3 field goals that missed because of high winds and you put us at 7? HOW? Please explain.

On those missed field goals, don't forget that our starting long snapper didn't play due to ACL injury.

I ranked Weber outside of the top 6 because the Wildcats are almost certainly out of playoff contention. Each team in the top six is still alive. I think Weber is the fifth best team in the league behind PSU, EWU, SUU and NAU.

What's the deal with the obnoxious clicking in the audio?

It was nice to hear that Drew Batchelor is going to be OK. I think it's sad the local media and WSU don't seem to think it important to inform the public of the status of what looked to be a fairly serious injury.
