| Idaho Vandals
with Erickson as their coach I have to expect big things in Moscow, they played MSU very well (a MSU team under Smith who traditionally does VERY well in the first 6-7 games before falling apart)
the Vandals will be very good in a few years, Erickson is probably the most underatted coach in the nation (esp for a guy who has 2 nati titles and a fiesta winner (an osu team that hadn't had a winning record in 28 years before he got there and finished #3 in the nation)) us Oregonians and West Coasters know Erickson quite well but I don't think he gets credit he deserves (more than likley because he recruits troubled juco players, had trouble in the nfl and is a west coast guy)
I loved it when he was here at OSU, I esp loved the rivarly he has with Mike Price (going back to the high school level if I remember right)...there is def part of me that desperatley wants him back in Corvallis (many other Beavers feel the same way) and he frankly would like it too, but I also really like Mike Riley, whats nice about both is they are both Northwesters-in a perfect world we'd have Co-Head Coaches  |
