Famous Idaho Potato Bowl open thread

Turned it on to root for for Sugar Shane. Threw up when I saw brown and yellow versus maroon and yellow on blue turf. I literally can hardly look at my screen.

Really wish Shane could've rode off into the sunset with a strong performamce. But 4 INT's and 2 lost fumbles in front of a ton of NFL scouts (all there to see opposing QB Josh Allen) is pretty rough.

lineman pass block for him so he didn’t always have to run for his life. I think most scouts will notice that.

if he is worthy of the next level, the nfl will find him. it may all work out fine. plus, he may have had a perfectly fine college experience. only he knows i guess.

I know I saw him play and can't recall if he was QB or HB? Seemed like he had the ball on every play for the Dutch. Probably a little small for the likes of B1G. Hope he gets a look at the next level. Could be an Antonio Brown type.

in a veer offense, and racked up a lot of rushing yards. Live in the area too and saw him play several times. Usually the best athlete on the field. But also only about 5’10”.

I wanted Michigan to take a late flyer on him in the 2013 class, but no such luck.

Yeah, he was a QB in high school.

My hope going in was that Sugar Shane would put on a nice display....

But, I had no idea, never watching Wyoming during the season. But Bohl's name jumps out at me because of the pure dominance of NDSU. Amazing that guy isn't coaching at a high level program.

Then Allen is throwing darts to the end zone, CMU spooled up the turnover machine and boom....

Big hold to FG. Did you see Elway there scouting Wyoming's QB? Too bad Morris hasn't shown much yet.

I hope Shane does well with his degree, because he isn't going to sniff an NFL camp.

Shane is an interception machine. That’s too bad, I remember being very excited when we got him. I wonder if he could’ve been good with Harbaugh coaching him instead.

Just like I said we get another chance to see Drake Harris with good hamstrings when Bell committed. The same can be said for Morris and Milton. Milton has a ton of similarities to Morris and they were both about equal as far as coaching needed. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Milton. I imagine Shane could have been decent in the Big Ten had he started with Jim.

Morris is awful. Credit for sticking it out with us through some bad years, but my god have successive staffs been awful at identifying quarterback talent Say what you want about Rich Rod but at least he knew a quarterback when he saw one

Denard was a running back that could throw a bit. Rich Rod found great RB’s.

From 2010-2011 running the spread Denard threw 38 tds at 57% completion percentage. Now he also had 26 interceptions, but compared to Speight, Morris and Okorn and working with half the talent these guys were, Denard was serviceable as a QB.

Not great, Bob. But as someone who watched the entire frantic Chip comeback in the Bahamas Bowl a few years back, I am not turning it off.

I wish it to be known that one of the only reasons that I have this bowl on is because there is very little else on at the moment. Also, because I need a football fix.

I probably should pay more attention to the grill outside, but whatever.
