Welcome to The Senate Site

When I heard that USU would be playing Boise State on the Friday night before Thanksgiving in Logan, I thought some one was crazy or they did not know what the weather can be like here at that time. I was absolutely amazed when I sat in the stands and watched that game in what was quite comfortable weather. I heard on KVNU during the broadcast that the temperature was 32 degrees when the game started at 7:30 but was 47 degrees when the game ended about 11:00 pm which I suspected was caused by the warming that usually precedes a storm. The crowd was about 19,000 and this time was about balanced between Boise State fans and Aggies. I am sure the Logan merchants enjoyed the Bronco fans who drove to Logan and spent some time here in our motels and restaurants. Boise State has a great team and it was fun for the Aggies to stay with them for the first and half of the second quarter. I fully expect that Coach Gary Anderson will have us on par with the Bronco’s within a few years.

While this has not been the luckiest year for the Aggie football team, the weather on Friday night proves that heaven can smile down, even on a reviving program in a remote place like Cache Valley. Go Aggies!
