    I thought it was in Ellensburg.

    Until you've gazed over the majestic beauty of the Palouse from inside the Kibbie Dome, you really haven't experienced the pageantry and spectacle of college football.

    Idaho needs to nut up and build a respectable, modest new football stadium (something along the lines of Utah State’s Maverick Stadium). Leave the Kibbie Dome for basketball and indoor football practice. The dome is iconic but it has become a depressing symbol of bottom feeding football.

    Then go out and hire Art Briles. Or someone radical with nothing to lose who will eliminate punting or do something else ridiculous and unconventional. Or at least a Mike Leach protégé.

    Come up with something quirky and distinguishing like the smurf turf. Eliminate all barriers to admission to get some decent athletes in and gain some program momentum.

    Idaho has two natural rivals in the cuog and Boise State. Schedule annual games with both schools to get a chance at national tv audience every year. Use the new stadium as a reason to have home and homes the rivals. Play up these rivalries to build fan enthusiasm. Same with intraconference rival Idaho State.

    Embrace FCS football and become a Big Sky powerhouse along the lines of EWU. Idaho football has had successful eras and good coaches and players (1985-1995). And it’s a decent academic institution that would only get better with a successful football program. It’s sad to see a program wither away especially when there’s so much money in college football.

    It can be done. UAB football was cancelled in 2014 and now they are winning 10+ games and broke ground on a brand new 45,000 seat stadium and all new football facilities.

    Saw an asshat in a UW shirt at the westside gym this morning. He's the middle-aged prick who stares at his fucking phone for five minutes between sets while sitting on the weight machines. Maybe he's been checking HCH all these time

    @ToadalFitnessDawg

    Would be even better if he was doing light barbell arm curls at the squat rack.

    That's the HH mantra ... be that asshole.

    Loving my time here in Berkeley so far! Even got a morning workout in at the Westside gym. The locals are so warm and welcoming—except for one creep at the gym who kept staring at me in between my sets on the fly machine.

    @SanPabloDawg, true??!?!?
