I must be honest guys. Now that we've faded to mediocrity, I kind of miss you

Don't be so dramatic.

Harsin won nearly 80% of his games at BSU and you had one year going 7-5. That's not "fading into mediocrity". That's called a damn good run for a G5 school with at worst at down year. Just because you guys don't win 13 games a year anymore doesn't mean you suck.

Idaho 30 Montana 23 Final.

Four straight W's and two close losses to WSU and Indiana.

The talent was always there, but god damn the difference a good coach can make.

I'm certainly looking forward to how this season plays out.

I've been too afraid to post about it... Out of fear that I'll curse them. But I've been watching every game.

I'm loving this coach, man.

Nice. Would be cool to see him out there but sounds like just a depth signing.

Big one this weekend vs. UC Davis. Gotta win out to guarantee a playoff spot.

Well, that's not happening.

They're just gonna get rolled by 50 I guess.

They can take it down to the wire against WSU and Indiana on the road but they get ass blasted by UC fucking Davis like they're playing Alabama. Gross. Davis will get any extra playoff spot that might get thrown the Big Sky's way. That's all folks.

Well I was wrong. Davis gets the L against Sac St and doesn't get the nod.

Somehow Montana gets in after a clown stomping by Montana State (really they just go in on name recognition and because they'll be able to sell tickets).

But, Idaho is in the post season for the first time since the 2016 P-Bowl


No clue about SE Louisiana, but I can't imagine they'd be in the top 5 teams Idaho has played this year.

Heartbreaking way to end the football season... It was wet & rained all week in Hammond so that turf was a slippery sponge during gametime. Players were falling down all over the place repeatedly. Definitely foreshadowed how the game might end. Still, it was a rough go for the Vandies. It took a favorable couple penalties to keep them in it late in the game to give them the opportunity to extend the game.

The future is very bright. Proud as hell of this team & the coaching staff. Eck led them out of the darkness. Repossession of the Stein, a playoff birth... All in his first season at the helm. This feels like the first time that I've been genuinely excited (ECKcited) & full of hope for the next season, just days after the current season ended.

McCoy Named 2022 Jerry Rice Award Winner - University of Idaho Athletics

MOSCOW, Idaho – High expectations are for programs that have made the playoffs, not for teams with a five consecutive losing seasons and a first-year head coach.

Had to pass on floor seats for the Big Sky tourny last weekend... Was out of town. Not surprised at all to see the Vandies flame out 1st Rd, but would have been cool seeing the other games.

That walk off by N Arizona to take down E Washington was awesome...

Damn, I missed that one. Caught most of the games on ESPN though. Weber State Montana State was a great one.

During the championship last night they mentioned Idaho had the Big Sky newcomer of the year and freshman of the year on the team. Hoping they stick around with the new coaching staff.

Yep Jones won newcomer, and Burris won freshman of the year.

Jones & Moffit were the focal point of the offense. Burris is clearly talented but it would be nice to see him get more involved.

Glad they didn't waste any time. Pribble must have really impressed given it only took them roughly 5 days to make the decision.
