Anyone that has ever heard me talk about Nevada Football you know how much I really despise Boise St.  The feeling I have for it is not just because they are a huge rival of the Wolfpack, but also just the way that they just feel like they more deserving then other teams just because they are Boise St. and just how much their fans have just become complete assholes (anyone that has been to Boise or been go a game and roots for another team knows what I am talking about).

Then I find on ESPN this story that apparently it isn’t just their fans that are in a whole new level of crazy that just boggles my mind.  The problem even extends to the the President of the University.  The President in an interview with the Idaho Statesman (which may be the most biased newspaper in the country) was quoted as saying the Idaho culture was “nasty” and “inebriated”.  This was a follow up to questions asked of Head Football Coach Chris Peterson about continuing the Idaho rivalry after they have moved to the Mountain West Conference.   To which his response was "I don’t think our fans even like to go up there. Most of Idaho’s fans are in Boise anyway.

At first when it was announced that Boise St. would be going to the Mountain West Conference I was worried about that the meant for the teams left in the WAC.  Now I have to see that thought of not having to deal with Boise St Fans Once every football season kind of excites me.

See the ESPN article here.

Getting excited about Wolfpack Football 2010.

Head Coach Chris Ault

Colin Kaepernick – Quarterback

When I saw this video show up on Youtube I just had to post it. It is always cool to watch a building implode. May have been better if the Dallas Cowboys football team was still inside it, but I guess you can’t always have everything.

North Dakota to Dump Fighting Sioux nickname

This has been something that has been going on for while. This to date is the only one that I know of that a university has actually caved in and decided to change their name. The problem is that this ow starts a president for other groups to try and start sew some of these schools to get paycheck. Soon down the road PETA will start trying to start trying to sew all the school or even professional teams with animal mascots to change their name. Then if that works some Irish person will get the idea to be up set that Notre Dame’s Mascot is a Fighting Irish Man. Then it would be Notre Dame home of that Cupcakes, but then that would only work until the people that go to the football games figure out they are fat because they eat too much since they were encouraged to eat more because they are known as the Cupcakes.

Tonight Derek Jeter became the all time hits leader in Yankees history.  It was a record that stood for 72 years when Lou Gehrig previously set the mark.  It is just amazing that shut a record like this can be broken in the modern game with free agency and players always looking to move on for bigger money.

I was looking around to see if I could get a video of the actual hit last night but it looks like the game wasn’t on TV so I had to find the next best thing.

Tonight was finally the start of the College Football Season.  While I would have like to see Boise St would have lost this was almost as awesome.

Not surprising that the player was suspended for the rest of the season.  To just added more to my dislike of Boise St.  They announced that there were not going to be a punishment for their player that was punch and actually started the whole thing that wasn’t in this video.  But then this is the Boise St Football team which according to the people that live there is the best team in the country (insert sarcasm here).

Aramelle and I got pretty lucky to be able to do two games in a weekend for a first experience to an Ace’s Game.  Things started when Aramelle’s work was planning a company outing to a game.  We decided to go since there was a little bit of a discount since they have a whole group going.  Shortly after that my work was then planning an outing for the night before.  So we ending up going both on to Friday and Saturday night’s game.  Below we have some pictures.

We already have tickets for the June 12th game when they will be having Military Appreciation Night.  Plan to have some more pictures and maybe a video or two after that night.

So I thought I should throw something up here real quick before it becomes two weeks and I haven’t posted anything.

Nothing really special going on around here as of late which is really a big reason why there hasn’t been that much posting going on.

One thing that I am excited about is I was finally able to get a copy of Pinnacle Studio 12 that I have been wanting to pick up for a while now.  I can hardly wait now to get some video footage that I so I can get some more videos put together.

Another thing to really look forward to is that it is getting close to being baseball season.  I am really looking forward to getting in some Reno Aces games this summer.  The Park is coming along nicely.

Not much else going on right now other then that.  I am going to try and do a better job of posting in here more often and not just with crap that I found around on the Internet.

The 49ers have redeemed themselves a little after the terrible showing of fire then Head Coach Mike Nolan in the middle of the season.  The 49ers have officially signed Mike Singletary to a 4 Year Deal.

The decision had been made before before their last game with the Redskins but not announced until the post game news conference.

After Singletary took over the 49ers were 5-4 ending the season 7-9.  This now coming out and after all the new players that the Yankees have signed for next year I am really looking forward to the coming year in sports.  Now if Nevada can with their Bowl Game tomorrow things in sports will be really good for me.

I am already getting so excited for Baseball Season and it still December.  First Sabathia, the Burnett, and now Teixeira.  All Yankees!
