Shadows

Well, Tiger Fans....it's been a rough week.  Not only did we lose (badly) to the Duck from Oregon, but also we gave up our undefeated football season to Cam Newton...errr, I mean the Auburn Tigers.  As always, Mike and the LSU football team will bounce back, but still, it's tough to lose on both accounts in the same weekend.  We've got a bye weekend coming up, so hopefully our football team gets some extra time to recover and practice for the upcoming 'Bama game, and we get some extra time to cast a few more votes for our favorite mascot!!

This week, Mike faces Joe Vandal from the University of Idaho.  Joe is ranked #6, and currently has a 4-4 record.  4-4 may not sound that impressive, but don't underestimate this mascot from the WAC.  Last week, he totaled 121,758 votes....almost as much as Mike has racked up in all 8 weeks!!!   What do you think motivates Joe Vandal to tally up so many votes in the Mascot Challenge????  My guess is that Joe Vandal has a bit of a Napoleon Complex.   I bet he is sick and tired of constantly being in Boise State's shadow.  Week in and week out, Joe Vandal and the University of Idaho (along with all of the other teams in the WAC) are indirectly insulted every single time someone discusses Boise State's strength of schedule, or rather lack thereof.  It has to be aggravating for them to hear "But Boise St. doesn't play anybody!!" over and over again, and my guess is Joe Vandal is looking for validation in any event he can....and the mascot challenge is just such an event.  I mean, after all, this is a contest that the Bronco is not involved in, so fortunately for them, they're not in BSU's shadow here.  Unfortunately for them....Mike is a tough opponent, and casts a pretty expansive shadow himself.  Let's help Mike overshadow Joe Vandal this week!!!
