Vandals kick off spring ball

Hope springs eternal in Moscow as the Idaho Vandals take the field for the start of spring practice today. BSU's biggest rivals have several things to be encouraged by:

1. No team ever went 1-11 in the spring.
2. They get to play themselves in the annual Black & Gold game.
3. Media attention will be negligible.
4. No one got fired over the winter (though not from lack of trying).

The continuity of a holdover staff is expected to pay dividends for a team in desperate need of an identity.

Akey said the Vandals will run the same offensive, defensive and special teams schemes that were used last season. Idaho finished the year 1-11, including 0-8 in the WAC.

If it's broke, don't fix it.

No, wait. That's not how the saying goes, is it?
