Morning paper: Boise State football links 11/18

In yet another example of Graham Watson being out of touch with Boise State football, the ESPN non-BCS blogger picked the Broncos to go to the Humanitarian Bowl this year, even if BSU goes undefeated the rest of the way. How depressing.

Here are some less depressing daily links:

Quite possibly the worst article we've ever read [Times-News]
And we read Graham Watson's stuff every day.

One last, final look back at the Vandal game [Statue Left]
Thank goodness for hotlinking.

ESPN to air BCS games in January 2011 [SI.com]
America to hear a lot less about how corrupt the BCS is, starting in 2011.

Coach Pete: "Biggest game of the year" on Saturday against Nevada [Times-News]
Ditto next week.

The Hammer lives to see another game [Press-Tribune]
Will Andrew Woodruff feel compelled to "Hammer" the Nevada painted end zone?

Everyone rushing to Brent Guy's defense all of a sudden [Dailey's Bottom Line & ESPN.com]
Where were these people when Guy was going 8-38?

Jeremy Childs named BSU's offensive player of the week over Avery [Statesman]
Inspiring Avery to run for 20 yards per carry on Saturday.

That "Times-News" WAS the worst article I have ever read. Was that supposed to be creative? The speed of TCU? Where was that against Oklahoma? Where was it against Utah? Just because you have a nickname doesn't mean you live up to it. Ever met a "Tiny?" 6'5" with huge muscles, right?
Kevan, yesterday you wondered in a comment what the opposite of journalism was. You found it.

Remember…you can't spell "A very good running back" without "A-V-E-R-Y"

Boy that Mike Christensen is pretty inventive. Must be a Utah transplant, with his Utah Jazz reference and "hey buy a ticket" plea at the end. I don't think I could be more biased in a single article than he was. I'll be in Twin Falls next week, maybe I'll give him a ring and tempt his criticism.

And to think that this guy and Dustin Lapray are on the same sports staff. What a journalism hotbed Twin Falls has become.

They can afford 2 sports writers? Wow

WOW..that Times-News article was awful. It was like a misguided gimmick someone would use for an entry level journalism class and then poorly written on top of that. I hope that was for the online edition only and that they didn't waste any ink to print that garbage.

It gets worse. Christensen is the sports editor and they have another sports writer on top of Lapray. Graham Watson better look out, I am sure ESPN can find room for quality writing displayed by the Times-News.
