Our Neighbors -- Wild and Wacky Edition

ESPN 700 AM in Spokane had recently changed up their format, combining two of their afternoon talk shows into one super-epic show with roughly 12 guys on the air at the same time entitled "Dennis Patchin and the Wingmen" which has a snazzy Top-Gun logo.

And while I would venture to guess that this was because of budget concerns, meshing "Bud and the Wingmen" with "The Dennis Patchin" show has produced an interesting and pretty engaging show. It honestly seems like the guys are having fun on the air and not forcing the "wacky morning DJ whoaaaaaaah" stick.

Now you're probably asking why I'm showing a photo of the Idaho Vandals football team, shirtless. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's because Moscow Idaho is apparently the center of the football universe.

And I didn't realize it until the guys at Patchin and the Wingmen pointed this out. Let me explain the two reasons why the Vandals are the backbone of football in America.

1. Tom Cable, the former head coach for the Idaho Vandals is now the head coach of the NFL's Oakland Raiders. Granted being head coach of the Raiders is like choosing a movie during a romantic date with your girlfriend - you don't really have a choice. Thanks Al Davis.

2. Patchin and the Wingmen pointed out that seven out of the ten assistant coaches on the Washington Huskies football team either played football or coached football at Idaho.

(Okay this isn't really connected, but you can now download your own UW head coach Steve Sarkisian desktop background. WHOOP DEE DOOO!!!)

I think that those reasons are pretty concrete :D, but you can tell me that I'm wrong in the comment bar.

MONTANA UPDATE

You know what, these guys really stink. I hate them. I'm not updating them. UM? They're good in men and women's basketball this year. Nuff said. Now go get a job.
