First of all, a big thank you out there to the 45,000 faithful who resoundingly demonstrated that the Brinkhater army is alive and well. A message to the faithful:
DON’T ALLOW THE HEADLINES TO DISCOURAGE YOU:
WE WILL SOON SEE THE END OF THE LITTLE ALEX EMPIRE AT WASHIGNTON STATE!
Ya know, I almost started to feel better about things (e.g. Alex) today after talking to Sedihawk and hearing about all of the things that Brink did well–including the game winning drive. I mean, I actually started to think that things may not be so bad afterall.
Then, I realized: hey, we’re talkin about BAYLOR here–a team that hasn’t been to a bowl since (GULP!) 1994. And I’m somehow supposed to celebrate a 2 point nipping at home–when our D only gave up 7 points?????
So, I used “the new math” and put two and two together. And you know what? Time and time again, I still came up with five!!!!!
Look at it this way: in two games against teams not named Idaho, the Cougs have averaged a WHOPPING 15 points a game! Yes, that’s right, 15 points, despite having arguably the best and deepest group of receivers that we’ve ever had. …
But, wait there’s more. When you take the two touchdowns engineered by Rogers in both of these games and take them out of the equation, you get the incredible statistic of how “good” Alex Brink has been.
The offense’s average point production when he’s playing anyone but the Spuds (drum roll please):
8.5 points a game.
Are you fricking kidding me?
That said, last night Brinkhater took in the opening of the new Stanford stadium. More review on the Trees later in the week, but lets just say that Idaho might hang 30 on Stanford’s D if they played this year–even @ Stanford.
So, Brinkhater nation, sit on your hands for one more week. We’ll have a lot to scream about in a couple weeks rest assured. Unless of course, we muster 28 points or less this Saturday–a week after Navy laid a 37 spot on the wilting Douglas Firs…
Thank god we’re 2-1!
