High School Musical or WAC media convention?



Zac Efron, meet Chadd Cripe.

When the WAC media convene in Salt Lake City for their annual meeting of the minds in July, there will be much more to discuss than Colin Kaepernick's skinny girl legs. Disney's High School Musical will be showing at a nearby theater, leaving WAC media members with a difficult decision: Vandal preseason predictions or Wildcat pride.

This heartwarming story features rousing music, fantastic dance choreography and is sure to delight the entire family.
Dance choreography sure sounds like more fun than Dick Tomey press conferences.

We know what decision will be making. Buffet at noon; getting our head in the game at 3:00 and 7:30.

Story of the day:


ESPN recaps Broncos' busy spring[ESPN.com]

The Worldwide Leader is nothing if not persistent. In its efforts to create spring wrap-ups for every team in college football, ESPN.com often ends up doing a disservice to the small-conference schools, choosing sweeping generalizations over actually attending the spring practices. For instance:
There are questions at quarterback and along the offensive front, but there are plenty of playmakers if merely adequate answers appear.
This sentence could have been written five months ago.

The rest of the ESPN story is rather non-informative, considering that Boise State fans already know everything there is to know about the team. The added publicity is nice, but is it too much to ask for ESPN to make a starting QB prediction or something?

We're not sure which is more legendary: suffering a spine injury and missing just one game or beating Boise State.
