The first comment on this story is pretty funny. They accuse us of stealing our new logo from the Idaho Vandals.

Excellent article. I only wish more could be written up like this. It's not a glowing prediction, but it's a down-to-earth prediction that I think a lot of us here need to consider before predicting bowl games. ;)

But... but that can't be! Our new logo was throughly researched to help build our identity and be unique! It is designed to make us stand out and NOT be confused with other schools 
[/sarcasm and comments portraying a continuing slight dissatisfaction with our new image, and the process that led to it]

Did anyone catch the Draft day sleepers article on the same page.
Kind of a nasty swipe at B Meyer in the Blythe paragraph. | |

Why would you read a royal a...er, a jerk like this? | |

Kind of a nasty swipe at B Meyer in the Blythe paragraph. Yeah, another one of those "throw it to Blythe" idiots. Apparently he was too busy worshiping him to notice that 2/3 of the time he was heavily covered, 1/6 of the time he didn't care to put forward the effort to get to a ball that required a little bit of effort to get to, and 1/6 of the time he made something special happen.
I'm not going to say that there wasn't serious talent there, but sometimes I think us fans get too focused on the few brilliant plays that he made that we turn a blind eye to the fact that most of the time he either wasn't open or he wasn't always putting 100% effort in when it was obvious he wasn't the first option.

Odd article, but 5-7 is probably a realistic prediction for the season | |

He's by far the best blogger on our network.

And you think that the fact that he was constantly running for his life, being pounded into the turf by pass rushers, had no running threat or elite secondary targets beyond Blythe had nothing to do with that? | |
