Wow! Other programs could learn some class from this.

Idaho is a nice program. My cousin played there after a year at Boise State and had a nice football experience, received a good education and is in a good career track after college.

I hear it gets colder than a witches you know what up in Moscow Idaho?

Yep...like the stadium though. A former Palma QB played their as well and played in an Arena football team the last couple seasons. Niner's OG Iupoti played their as well.

Not sure if it's the same Idaho, but NFL defensive end Jared Allen (Los Gatos) went to Idaho State Univ..

Huh

Jared Allen went to Idaho State in Pocatello, not U of I in Moscow.

Head Coach of the Vandals? Paul Petrino, yes, Petrino, turns out he's the younger brother of Bobby Petrino, who by the way pulled an offer from a recruit who committed in June, due to positional needs:

One of them had to be adopted?

At least they have a heart now in Moscow. BTW it's MOSS-koe, not moss-COW...they don't like the USSR version. Always the picked on little brother of the Cougs only 10 miles away in Pullman. The Vandal scandal in '12 when they fired the HC before season end and he sued. Not a whole warm fuzzy from the Kibbie Dome that year. Gades10 can offer insight to that as he was enrolled then.

Not only was I enrolled then, I worked for the athletic department and had traveled with the football team to La. Tech, which was the last game Akey coached, we got drubbed something like 70-21 if I remember. He was fired when our charter landed in Lewiston at 2 am local time. Worked out alright for him, he's coaching in the NFL now as the D-line coach for Washington.
