See my response to Rotten below.

I have relatives who are dUI alums, and I do love them. Can’t say they’re my “favorites,” though.

Affidavit to EarlOfLucan: As a native Idahoan, I, SeniorChief, being of sound mind (albeit old body), do hereby swear and attest to all that shall see these presents that I do not have the tiniest (itsy-bitsyish, most meager, punyist, dinkiest, runtiest, most diminutive, minutest, bantamiest, most infinitesimal, Lilliputian, microscopic, molecular) sliver of Pride in my heart when U of I represents this State in some capacity. (Vagaries of capitalization are thus in your original.)

To the contrary—when I see dUI “represent” this state in some capacity, my overwhelming and uncontrollable reflex is to feed the fishes.

My immediate family—siblings, daughter—are all BSU alumni, and I met my wife at Boise State. If I had my way, that campus located in Moscow would become “BSU North.”

You inquired a long time ago. Finally, here is the website:
www.rockymountainhirailers.com

to the best blog on SBN.

We have a few loose rules here, with which we ATTEMPT to comply:
1. No politics.
2. No religion.
3. No swearing.

As Kevan says in his guide, we can figure out what your thinly veiled reference above means. Nuggies have a practice which is more fun and friendly. We use the initials “bw” for “bad word.” Therefore, your post could read “I will laugh a bit, no, a bw load!” We’ll get it.

New posters might find Kevan’s guide to be a handy reference. (I hope you’ll update and re-post it this year, Kevan.)

Again, welcome, Rotten. Try not to flip off Vandals, though. It might be my sister-in-law or my nephew, and I love them. Nobody’s perfect.

They do deserve the rep, far too many have earned it. But, I have some good friends that are Vandals, in fact Scotty is a Bronco football fan. But beyond that, despite the flipping off thing, I want to be a better man and be a better fan. Will reserve my disdain for a team that really deserves it. Was thinking Nevada or TCU but I see where that headed…
