Idaho’s "Gruff Luck" 2012 Profile?
SB Nation has this story about the Vandals posted in a right-hand sidebar. Don't read it on a full stomach--wait at least two hours after eating.
Idaho is arguably ranked as one of the top 121 FBS teams in the nation. What's that you say? There are only 120 FBS teams? Well, the ranking still stands.
I found an apparent error in author Bill Connelly’s final story line, wherein he wrote, "Good luck, Coach Robb P.S. Akey. You're going to need it."
I believe he left the "O" out of "Coach Robb P.O.S. Akey."

3 new FBS teams this year
TX-San Antonio, UMass and one I’m forgetting. So if he’s got UI at 121, that leads to the real error which needs correcting (UI needs to be at least 2 spots lower).

I thought it was four new teams
Don’t ask me who…all I know is they’re pretty terrible.

Well, rats!
There goes my joke! (Don’t look for a reference to the “top 121 teams” in the story, as I made it up. You’re right, hummer, the Vandals deserve to be lower than low—that’s what I was shooting for.)
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they, too, have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.

Hey, that last line was the funniest part of the whole post!
Erase everything but the last couple paragraphs and this is still more than worthy of my rec lol

We could always argue that FBS should go back to 120
First step to that: cut the Vandals.

To the FCS where they belong, Doubt the Big Sky would take them back.

What did the huge sign in Bronco Stadium say a few years back?
Something like ‘Hey vandals, are you tired of losing? Call 1-800 BIG-SKYY’ That was clearly the best sign ever.

It was all worthwhile for this nugget:
I believe he left the “O” out of “Coach Robb P.O.S. Akey.”
Well played, SC.
Time is the great equalizer.

Senior, you missed your calling.
Well done, biting, tasty, with a generous side of snide.
P.O.S. does stand for Person of Suspicion, doesn’t it? I thought so. :)

I've been waiting for a Vandal thread to post this one . . .
(Oh, but I DO have fun!)
