    The simple fact is that Ault needs a good punch in the mouth for his antics on the sideline on Sat. His screaming at #47 was uncalled for. Yes the kid made a mistake but so far I have seen more mistakes from Ault then anybody else and it seems that UNR's brass has no balls to do the same to him!

    AULT NEEDS TO GET THE HE!! OUT OF COACHING!!!! JUST RETIRE YOU POMPOUS PRI!K!!!

    I could make the same kind of weak argument for Boise, Einstein. Boise had embarrassing wins against UC-Davis and Tulsa, who the former got humilliated by Fresno State 0-51 and the latter got destroyed by Oklahoma 0-45. C'mon now, UC-Davis??? You have got to be kidding me haha.

    Let's see... U of I and BSU have both played Hawaii recently. Idaho was at home and won by 12. BSU played them in Aloha Stadium and won by 45! Hmmmm... I don't know where you earned your credential Dr Joe, but one has to wonder how Idaho can keep up with the Broncos scoring after Nevada hung SEVENTY POINTS on your D!

    I sat & watched the entire game in Reno this afternoon. Kaepernick was awesome. He ran & threw at will. But ..... I will say that Idaho had a good showing with the passing game. Only thing is, Coach Ault cannot seem to put a decent secondary defense together to save his LIFE!!!! The defensive line is outstanding with Moch & Basped. But the seconday defense is HORRIBLE!!!!

    All things said, the Vandals simpy got beat. As for Boise State ...... you better be ready to throw the ball all night long, otherwise you're gonna get stomped!

    GO PACK!!!

    There is no defense that can stop Nevada at this point. They are rolling and are going to crush Boise in Boise. They started the season like a pea shooter but are firing like a cannon right now. What a difference three weeks makes.

    F**k! On the bright side, I am glad that I did not drive all the way down to Reno to see my Vandals lose like they did. What ever happened to defense?
