It seems it is getting easier to spot those who have opinions about Idaho 
football that don't even follow the Vandals, isn't it?

Why, just the other day Brent Capener made reference to a series of rivalry 
games between Idaho and South Dakota.  Enlighten us, Mr. Capener, when did 
these games take place?

And now, Carl Westberg wants Idaho to drop to 1AA status.  This move would 
ultimately result in the death penalty to Idaho football.  If not the 
experience of competing against major 1A colleges, think of the financial loss 
Idaho would incur from this move.

Sorry gents, but that bandwagon is too unstable for me to jump on.
