This game will be another big test for the Wildcats, who have not played all that well on the road. "We need to learn to win on the road and this will be a big chance to do it," Walford said. The lady Wildcats are having a good year so far. With the team starting to play together and no major injuries coming to any of the players, WSU hopes to continue its excellent play through October and November. "We have had three strong practices this week," Walford said. "We have gone over Idaho State's offense and defense and we are excited to play them." You can reach reporter M.

Pizarro was sacked and fumbled the ball to give possession to the Grizzlies. Weber State finished the game with almost 500 yards of total offense, compared to only 360 for Montana. Costly errors are what led the Wildcats to their doom. WSU failed to convert two field goals in the game. WSU had a 37-yard field goal blocked early in the game. WSU also missed on a 46-yard try in the game. With the two field goals missed and the extra point try not converted, this would have given the Wildcats the seven points need for the victory.

In the letters to the editor lately, the left wing has again tried to fight against America and support the Islamofascist. Martin Man sympathized with the 9/11 attackers and slammed America for not seeing their view. How could anyone with a brain read his comments and agree with him? Tommy Peterson said we cannot win a war against an idea, obviously he has never heard about the Revolutionary War, so Tommy can go back to middle school history class and brush up. Yet again, Tommy says if we didn't win WW II we would ail be speaking German. Well first of all, that could be an offensive comment to Germans, and as a liberal, Tommy should be more politically conect, and the fact mat Germany never attacked us, but mat's another story. Even more important, if we don't fight the terrorists, we could all be speaking Arabic and forced to practice Islam, the "religion of peace." Tommy also states that there is more than one way to fight terrorism, well, this goes against what he said earlier about how you can't againstfightan idea, but besides that point, Tommy should explain to everyone how he proposes tofightterrorists and all the many ways other than war to destroy them. The left needs to get a clue and stop fighting against America, or better yet, they can leave and join the terrorists with whom they support and sympathize with.
