Thomas Giddens has been great in SOU’s first two games, but the Raiders need to use him less.

Yesterday I linked to NAIA rankings based on a computer formula. There are various formulas out there. Massey‘s formula has SOU at #1 even after the loss to Carroll. Even more interesting is that Massey says that five of the top six NAIA football teams are in the Frontier Conference.

Louis Macklin breaks through a hole vs. Eastern Oregon

@LouieVHbk @SOURaiders @SOU_Football

The new 2015 NAIA Football Coaches’ Top 25 Poll is out, and unsurprisingly, SOU has dropped from #1 to #4 because of a road loss to Carroll in the first week. Carroll’s road loss to Montana Tech cost them more than a few spots as well. The Frontier Conference is now wide open. Montana Tech and Montana Western have both looked good in their first two wins. However, Montana Tech will have their hands full @ Eastern Oregon this weekend. Montana Western faces Carroll in a couple weeks. It’s unlikely any Frontier Conference team will enter October without a loss.

A less-biased poll is one not done by coaches. This one has SOU @ #2, Carroll @ #3, and seven Frontier Conference teams in the top 22.

Britt Pavilion in Jacksonville (9/13/15)

@brittfestivals @brandicarlile @baskery

Today’s photo comes from last night’s show. Baskery was about to hit the stage, and Brandi played her seventh Britt show later in the evening. More photos of Baskery and Brandi Carlile coming soon. (Unfortunately, I can’t process any at the moment as my hard drive has filled up again. After I move a few hundred GB of files off I will get to them.)

Wednesday night is Primus at Britt.

Tanner Trosin celebrates as SOU begins a new era

@TannerTrosin @SOURaiders @SOU_Football

Crazy game! I almost left when we were down by 21 in the second half, but Trosin came on, and things worked out for SOU this afternoon on a very hot day in Ashland. Details here.

I slapped my Raiders Gameday! magnet on this truck before the Ashland 4th of July Parade a couple months ago and haven’t seen it since. I hope it is put to good use. I could use it today, actually, at the tailgate in Helena. Or maybe a Carroll fan would steal it here in Montana. In any event, you want to watch today’s game. You can watch it for free at noon PT here.
