Funny.

In a year that Wyoming beats Tennessee, Utah beats Michigan, and BYU beats UCLA and Washington, all those schools are having almost historically awful seasons, 2 of those teams have fired their head coach, and maybe 2 of them will go to a bowl game.

Oh, well. Great historic wins!

BYU has always been a barometer for the bigger names. Miami is the only exception in that it went on to a great season after losing to the BYUs.

As neat as it was to win that one my jubilation has been somewhat muted as my beloved Sheridan Broncs fell to Green River (the real Green River, not that crap-ass poser in Utardia) in the semis of the Wyoming 5A playoffs.

And then my wife made me go to the damn Friends of the Library auction.

Luckily they had an open bar whereby I was able to both celebrate the Pokes' victory and dull the pain of the Bronc's loss. And pay way too much for a delightful crocheted throw. It's got a cute sad kitty on it.

What kinds of items can one purchase at a Friends of the Library auction in Wyoming?

An old saddle?
Spurs?
Whisky?

Well, according to a few of my rather seedy acquaintances, the Green River in Utah is home to some female by the name of Tabitha Stevens, if that means anything to you.

Yep. Also that ASU win by UNLV does not look very good either right now. The MWC has wins over:

UCLA
Tennessee
Washington
Oregon State
Arizona State
Arizona
Michigan
Stanford
Iowa State

Looks great on paper, one slight problem those teams have a combined record of: 31-54. Best win right now would be Oregon State who I would favor slightly over Arizona until they play. Both teams are 6-3, no one else on the list has a winning record. Also both AZ and OSU lost on the road.
