The Mikrino Poll: Mikrino descends upon Boise! Yep, you're welcome. Oh, and Idaho gets curbstomped in Moscow, you're welcome for that too.
I know what you're thinking, and yes, it is that awesome. I'm coming to town, it's like Santa Claus, except cooler, and for reals and stuff. My family and I will be in town this week for some family functions, and a bit of homecoming. So if you're walking through the BoDo and get blinded by the alabaster light emanating from my being, have no fear, I'm a Bronco fan of the utmost proportions.

Me on my flight to Boise.
Okay, egos aside, I plan to not be around a computer much this week, what with family plans and all that. SO you make out like bandits, Obnuggers. You get to hate me all week on the poll and there's nothing I can do to stop you. Except for making the hate me option the least desirable one available, but that seems to matter little these days.
So follow me on this week's Mikrino Poll. Where Idaho gets nasty and inebriated, and that's just the beginning. Also I'm down for tossing back a few with some fellow Obnuggers should it come to pass. Though my time will be limited, and I will not be in Boise for the Idaho game (at least I don't think so), I can sign autographs, kiss babies, shake hands, you know... the fun stuff!
I don't like Robb Akey.

I don't like his son either.

I don't even like his Grandfather.

Or his sister/grandma,

You get the idea. I despise him.
Idaho has developed a certain sense of confidence (arrogance) and pride (arrogance), since Akey's arrival on the Palouse. Which is funny to me because they still aren't a very good football team, but now they think they are. The "Fiesta Bowl" last year in Bronco Stadium against, Bowling Green?, led to Texas sized heads ballooning in Moscow. Way to go Vandals, carry that momentum into 2010 why don't cha. Oh wait... not so much;

The Vandals have managed to lose to every half-way decent team on their schedule so far. Way to parlay that winning season and Bowl game win right back into mediocrity, Robb. What a great coach! Idaho is 4-5 and remember how I said after last year they now think they're a good team? Well apparently just thinking it doesn't make it so, you actually have to be it too. So much for last year's Fiesta Bowl. Am I right TCU?
Idaho hangs their hat one statistical category; Passing Offense. They rank 4th, narrowly ahead of Boise State in 5th. That's it. That's all they got, literally. Anyone watch the Hawaii game last week? Yeah, well this is Hawaii 2.0, except worse, and the game will be played in a horse barn filled with intoxicated co-eds ready to hurl themselves from third-story dorm windows and then wear their own vomit like a badge of honor. Should be a blasty-blast! I still wonder why they don't recruit better...?
Seriously, expect to see a repeat of last week. It should be fun to watch. The Vandals do not rank higher than 82nd in any defensive category. Which is why Colorado State can beat them. It is also why the Broncos should easily drop 60 on Saturday without even trying. Being that this is the last time the Broncos will be able to rag-doll the Vandals for awhile, I say Coach Pete gives them something to remember us by. A little token of why the Broncos are infinitely better than any Idaho team, EVER. I think it'll happen. Crazy trick plays, opening on-side kickoff, on-side kickoff everytime, something special will take place this week. Count on it.
I think we'll see an encore of the 4-2-5 again this week, since it worked to perfection against Hawaii. No.1 passing team shutdown, why not No.4? I see no reason this doesn't continue. I also predict Shea McClellin, Ryan Winterswyk, Billy Winn, and Chase Baker having a field day with Nathan Enderle. We already know they are immortal-winged-beasts-of-fury. Add in that Idaho has given up a 117th ranked, 32 sacks, and you have a perfect storm of epic proportions on your hands. I predict a sack count in the double digits, and -100 yards rushing for the Vandals. Did I mention they sport the 116th Rushing Offense in the nation? This ought to be tons of fun for Akey's Army, no?
Had enough? Can't wait to tear into this week's poll? Well, have at it. I'll try to check in from time to time and make fun of Idaho or get banned from something. If you see me in Boise say hey, but considering almost none of you know what I look like, I find it unlikely that will happen, but whatevs. Have fun this week Obnuggers. Bear the flag in my stead.

Sure!
errr, maybe…?
The trouble with being a Groomsmen is all the responsibility attached to it. My schedule is filled up for me before I even arrive. Then the added fact that none of my family has seen my wife or boys in a couple of years and the demands upon our time are even more pressed. So yeah, if I can swing something I’ll do it. You’re buying right?

Hey, they can say they hate you all they want....
but that was one killer article, and got the real HATE off to a great start. I hope Pete hangs 70 on em by half time. If this game is their season, it’s over. Keep up the good work. Best article yet !

Idaho is a good team. No, really. They are. Mark May approves of them.
I’m actually hosting a DAV week here in Riverside if anyone wants to join…It’ll be the best date EVER.

Well done sir, and welcome home!
We will need to know when and where you are holding court. Sorry that you can’t attend a game while your here (not munson’d). If you are too busy to drink beer, I understand how it goes. Enjoy your escape from SEC country my friend!

I hear you.
I was hoping against hope my brother would schedule his wedding around the Fresno State game, that way I could go to the game while in town. Unfortunately it’s this week, so aside from asking him and his bride to change the date, I was kind of out of options. But hey, I’ll able to watch Idaho get man-handled with friends for old times sake. So it’s not that bad.
I kinda wish I’d be in Boise on Sautrday and we could plan an OBNUG event down at Buster’s or something, but family and all that.

I'll probably knock a few back.
A good friend of mine (I consider him a brother) will be free this week. So I intend to make sure to put some time aside for that. Anyone interested is welcome. Don’t know where or when, but I can post something here I guess. We’ll see what happens.
Also, I just realized the Boise State games is on Friday! I kept thinking Saturday for some reason. I may be in town after all.

I love the colors Orange and Blue. Go Broncos!!! Go Titans!!! BAD WORD Gators!!!
The Idaho Game
Normally, this is the most difficult game of the year for me, but this year is different. I couldn’t care less about the Vandals this time. I want Boise to go up north on their BSU plane, put the hammer down on the I, and put up 70 points in the first half and 1000 yards. I want to see the defense get 10 sacks and put Enderle on Lifeflight to Spokane. I want the top 3 plays on Sportscenter to contain Austin Pettis making ridiculous catches all over the stupidly small Kibbee dome. I want to see 1000 OBNUG t-shirts in the stands. I want the coaching staff to empty the playbook and let the Akey know just how poor of a coaching staff he’s got.
I usually reserve my hatred for Nevada and Fresno, but not this year. Screw the Vandals – we’re out.

Great post!
With as terrible as the Vandal offensive line has been, Enderle has to be shaking. In fact, he may preemptively injure himself so as to not have to take the field. I guarantee they are sitting in their dirty, cramped, moldy offices in Moscow right now gawking at game film. The puddle on the floor is under Nathan Enderle’s chair. Deer in the headlights already. If Hawaii completely destroys the Vandals, and Boise State annihilates Hawaii, what do you think is going to happen in that bathroom stall they call a football stadium? It will get ugly real fast. Do not expect Coach Pete to go all lovey-dovey on Idaho this time around. While he might not run up the score, there will be flea-flickers, statues of liberty, double-reverse passes, and some passing late so as to send a message. Idaho is in huge trouble and this could be the final straw for Akey; He’ll bolt for the border and be wearing Washington State maroon and white next year. 13 in a row, here we come! Mikirino, I love your posts! Keep them coming! I will be looking for you shiny, blinding aura in the sky from Twin Falls!

I believe this will be win number 12
dUI beat us last in 1998. But anyway, I don’t think Pete will need to be too tricky. If we can beat down the hakas without any trickeration, we can beat down the candals going with a fairly basic game plan with lots of… no-huddle and KM shredding their backfield into mincemeat.
This should be great guys
The way Kellen Moore has been playing, it is going to be beautiful against the ‘Duls. There is not a word to describe what he will do to them. Shred is good, but not ruthless enough. I also think that Pete will at least send somewhat of a message. It won’t be the 80-yard bomb late in the fourth quarter, but it will be something.
Make sure you wave as you come by Mikirino!

thats the beauty, kcam
he won’t have to pull out the playbook, but everybody that doesn’t bleed Vandal silver and gold would love to see it…

Excellent point
Oh, mirrored one. I do think Pete is ready to make a statement. I honestly think there’s some bad blood between Pete and the Poltroon of the Palouse.
i want this win to be so vicious...

Going to be reporting from the game? That should be more annoying than usual interesting.
oh yeah, it's larrondo not arrondo...

Just pointing this out...as of 12:32 am PST
3 people have voted the Vandulls to win this game. Either they hate Mikrino that much, or we have some sick and twisted lurkers on here…
Members from ATQ and BHGP were not responsible for those votes. No really they weren't.
I don’t think it was Duck fans to be honest, they’re too happy being number one to be pissed at us temporarily…and who can blame them, they have a great team…
There are Idaho fans around who hang around OBNUG just to vote opposite the good guys, No seriously, there are actual Vandal fans who figured out how to troll on the net. Passed CompSci 101 AND Communications 086.

..."I left my notes in the john at the Moscow Pub."
I once meet Coach Pete and shook his hand. I knew at that very moment, I had touched God.
Enderle
He really could get sacked 10+ times in this game. Venable will launch his wrecking ball self right into Enderle making him regret waking up that morning. It will be super sweet.
And we better see some interceptions in this one. The BSU defense will have plenty passes thrown directly into their hands, they’re bound to catch one.
"It takes no talent to give great effort" -Chris Petersen
Sure hope so, JRig
(Weren’t you a doctor once?) Anyhoo, I’m hoping to see some picks and pick sixes. Lord knows they’re going to get their chances up there.
/pats myself on the back for getting ’they’re’, ‘their’, and ‘there’ in one sentence to show off my internets commenting prowess.
Yep, I was a doctor
License was taken away, something about not listening to the patients enough, I dunno, wasn’t really paying attention…
But yeah, I would love to see a couple interceptions in this one. Jamar Taylor and Iloka don’t have picks yet, do they? They could snatch up a couple Enderle passes.
P.S. Most people called me Jrig so I wanted to drop the Dr. part. Plus, you know, I’m not a doctor at all anyway. However, I’m still DrJrig on Twitter!
"It takes no talent to give great effort" -Chris Petersen
Heck
I’d settle for the defensive backfield to just not look surprised when the ball hits them on the numbers! How many dropped picks were there against La Tech?
Three INT drops, right?
Maybe Tevis should teach the DBs how to catch!
