<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Precisely,
Carl. I could regale Visionaries with tales of my experiences of bad BSU behavior
towards UI – both here and in the southern part of the state -- back when
I first moved here in the Dark Ages (1988) and even before I officially started
at the UI (1/1989), but what’s the point? The rivalry in good forms
and bad – in sports <b>and</b> in academics -- existed long before I
moved here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>BSU
Kustra’s comments are simply, IMHO, another example of BSU trying to
convince others too smart (that would be UI graduates <g>) to fall for it
that their BS doesn’t stink. Will his revisionist history succeed
with anyone other than BSU administrators, students, and alum, or will it just
make BSU look like a bunch of thin-skinned whiners rather than educated
adults? Only time will tell, but I’m betting on the intelligence of
the good people of Idaho to recognize that the sports-and-academic rivalry has <b>always</b>
been a two-way street with plenty of good and bad from both sides. Should
everyone strive to do better? Absolutely, and that clearly includes
BSU’s Kustra.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>And,
as a gal born & raised in Oklahoma who will always be a Sooner (one parent
a Sooner & the other an Aggie/now Cowboy), it’s clear Kustra
doesn’t have a clue as to what he’s talking about with respect to
other rivalries! Living a sheltered life can have that effect, I suppose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>To
bring it closer to home, surely an educated man like Kustra can’t truly
be so totally clueless as to the <b>serious</b> academic-and-sports rivalry
right across the state line between UW & WSU?! If so, it’s
clear the man is <b>highly</b> overpaid!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

other point: while I’m not a Nellis cheerleader, I’ve got to
give him kudos for his classy response. Perhaps Kustra could benefit from
some lessons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Actually, the unfortunate animosity has not
been a one way street. Neither side has clean hands. The response
to this will be interesting, as there is much intermarriage between the two
schools, both literally and figuratively. Could make for some interesting
family reunions in our state. I'll probably have to disown my BSU
graduate niece now. BTW, here is the response from President Nellis............“I
was disappointed to learn of President Kustra’s reported remarks during
his meeting with the Idaho Statesman editorial board. I’m sorry to hear
that Bob feels so negatively about his visits to Moscow. Both the University of
Idaho and the city of Moscow take great pride in the friendly, welcoming and
warm environment that a quintessential college town like ours can uniquely
provide. <br>
<br>
“Bob is right that athletic rivalries bring out passion in people for
their alma maters; I’ve seen this first-hand between national rivals like
West Virginia and Pitt, or Kansas and Kansas State. And I’ve experienced
this here in our own state – both positive and negative. People with
passion for their institution can say and do things that they regret. It’s
unfortunate that this happens and all of our institutions should work to ensure
that we don’t accept this unacceptable rhetoric. Late last week, I
reached out to Bob to let him know that I was personally disappointed in the
student opinion piece published by our student-run newspaper. I shared that
disappointment with the Argonaut editorial board as well. <br>
<br>
“In-state rivalries are meant to be fun. Our long-time rivalry with BSU
is important to the state, the economy, and the fans from both teams. We
embrace and celebrate that rivalry and I very much hope it continues. It goes
without saying that we value our relationship with Boise State both on the
field and court and in the many ways in which our two institutions work
together to serve our state and its citizens.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Boise State president Bob
Kustra said he stands behind football coach Chris Petersen's statement that his
team should no longer travel to Moscow for games, Kustra said Tuesday in a
meeting with the Idaho Statesman editorial board.<br>
The future of the 40-year-old series is in doubt after this season's trip to
Moscow, with Boise State headed to the Mountain West Conference in 2011, while
the Vandals will continue in the Western Athletic Conference.<br>
"I frankly don't care whether we ever play 'em again as long it goes,''
Kustra said. "I don't see any reason to do it in Boise, but if somebody
sees a reason to do it in Boise, fine.<br>
"I guess (Idaho football) coach (Robb) Akey would argue that if he upsets
Boise State, then that's a really big deal, but why is that to Boise State's
advantage?''<br>
Petersen said Monday, while in Salt Lake City for the annual WAC preview
meetings, "Why would we (go to Moscow)? I don't think our fans even like
to go up there. Most of Idaho's fans are in Boise anyway.''<br>
Kustra said he and Petersen talked about the issue last month, on the same day
Boise State was invited into the Mountain West. He said they are on the same
page.<br>
Kustra said it's a "cultural issue,'' pointing out an article last week in
the Argonaut, the University of Idaho student newspaper. The headline of the
article was, "Who do we hate?''<br>
"This is a great example of why my wife and I no longer travel to Moscow
games,'' Kustra said. "It's a culture that is nasty, inebriated and
civilly doesn't give our fans the respect that any fan should expect when
visiting an away team. ... I don't think at Boise State you're going to find
that, so for me personally, when I read what Pete said I knew, I knew.<br>
"For me, this is not about football. For me, this is a cultural issue.
It's about fans having to learn how to treat other fans and universities. What
bothers me more than anything else, is that the fans are not about denigrating
our athletic program. ... What bothers me personally is the denigration of our
academic programming. That's what I simply can't tolerate.<br>
"I've seen rivalries all over America, Oklahoma-Oklahoma State,
Texas-Texas A&M, Kansas-Kansas State, but you can go inside those rivalries
and you'll find all kinds of slams and digs and whatever, but I've never seen
the nastiness aimed at the quality of our academic program that I find here in
Idaho from the University of Idaho Vandals and as long as that goes on, why
would I want to encourage a game where people don't know how to act like grownups?''<o:p></o:p></span></p>

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the
Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced
by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which
states that this has already happened. <br>
