Leatherneck Nation

Interesting little snippet from "Standard Examiner".

Talking Weber State football and bout halfway through scouting the Leathernecks.

In looking at that Weber State Fan Forum (referenced above), one Weber State fan likes our helmets:

"I like the Leatherback's helmets. Big, Bold W. How cool would it look if Weber also had a W, the Flying version, on their helmets Saturday.

I was on the Friday morning Amtrak train (Chicago to Quincy). There were two Western cheerleaders on the train. They said that they were coming back early because the cheer squad is flying out to Utah tonight with the football team.

They will be doing a lot of travelling:
75 mile bus ride from Macomb to the Quad Cities Airport in Moline.
Flight to Salt Lake City.
40 mile bus ride from Salt Lake to Ogden.

The team has arrived in Utah.

Anyone else planning on going to the watch party.

I'll watch it at home. By the time I could get up there, I'm sure it will be packed. Have fun and throw in an extra cheer or two for me.

Going to be on the road home from Ohio while the game is going on, so I'll be listening to Scott and Dr Tom on the radio.

If we all play this loud enough, they will be able to hear it in Utah.
