I was watching the Idaho owl last night and they did a promo for the Hawaii bowl. REALLY bragged on the I-Train throughout the promo. I don't even remember them mentioning any other players or even Hawaii........it was all about Mathers. Felt good to hear.

This is a man who is the #1 paid D-Coordinator in the conference and probably has the WORST defense to show for it. Absolutely pathetic and he blames his players for the poor performances. How does he still have a job?
If stock jr keeps making these mistakes, throw Richie in there and start backyard football again. Might have more success.
