I am watching the CBS "Game Tracker" computer animation on the Mountain West web site:

It sucks, but is better than nothing.

3 and out for Weber. CSU has ball on their end near midfield. Followed by the oh so lovely no tv TV timeout.

[I Bleed Purple]

Well, in the last few minutes there's been a punt, INT, and missed FG.

Weber State has the ball now.

Two weeks in a row Weber has played tough against FBS schools... Higgins has cost us both games... Frustrating

Higgins is looking dangerously like his old self during his freshman year. He wasn't terrible then, but took too many dumb risks and he's doing the same early this year. Granted, he has kept WSU in games against two difficult FBS schools, his mistakes are costing the Wildcats greatly thus far. I'm not even going to go on a full rant about the kicking game. Blocked field goal last week, (terrible kick too low by the way), plus a missed field goal and extra point. Just as in Higgins, WSU is looking a lot like their teams of old where Mac has absolutely zero confidence in going for field goals anymore. Snoy is showing a lot of improvement, and Bolen has shown flashes of greatness returning kicks/punts, but beyond that, the special teams is a sore spot on this team right now. Expect Mac to attempt a lot of fourth down conversions this season if Williams' game doesn't improve soon, not to mention the attitude problems the coaches have had with him this season. OK. I guess I did go on a full rant. I couldn't help myself.
Come on 'Cats....You are better than this.xbangx

[I Bleed Purple]

Expound on the attitude problems.

When it comes down to it, you guys are going to be more than prepared for games with BSC opponents, and conference is all that matters at this point. Halloween will be a definite treat xsmiley_wix
