You're a very negative guy, Thrill. Do you get more satisfaction from seeing Utah lose, or from the anticipation of watching their fans melt down?
I'm not sure what type of excuses you're waiting for, but I wouldn't expect to see any. Well, Salty... maybe.
Utah lost (well, it's not official as I'm writing this, but it's only a matter of time) because of stupid penalties and dropped passes by their offense - who failed to sustain any kind of drive all night - and the disappearance of their defense for the last 3 qtrs. That's it. Does that qualify as an excuse? Boise outplayed them. How 'bout that?
I'm not really disappointed by the outcome of the game. I figured BSU would win. I'm a little frustrated that Utah played well (especially defensively) for one quarter, but couldn't seem to put anything together after that.
But, in the long run, it's okay. 11-3 for the season is not too bad for a "not too good at all" team. Better than 7-6, I guess.
So I guess now Thrill, you and Trout can have a good Christmas, dreaming of sugar plums and knees down before the fumble. But if you want spin, you'll have to look elsewhere.
God bless us, every one.
