2017 SOU football team members from Hawaii
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @itsbronsenADER @tunoamasi
Massey was impressed with Southern Oregon’s lopsided win on the road against a team (Montana Western) Massey had in its top ten. Massey bumped the Raiders up two spots to #3, ahead of Montana Tech and Morningside.
The coaches won’t be so generous. The only team in front of the #14 Raiders in the coaches’ poll to lose was Eastern Oregon so the Raiders will likely only move up one spot to #13 when the new coaches’ poll comes out Monday.
Massey has the Raiders as 16-point favorites at home Saturday against Carroll College. Last year was the first time SOU ever beat Carroll by 16 points or more.

Five years ago I did a photo shoot at Ashland’s McCall House, one of Ashland’s many B&Bs.

Well, not this much, but today is supposed to be the last day to hit 80 degrees for at least the next 10 days. Maybe we won’t see 80 again this year?
In other news, there is a chance of snow at SOU’s football game this Saturday in Dillon, Montana.
Today’s photo comes from May of this year. Snow in May? Not in the valley but Hobart frequently gets snow in April and sometimes in May.

The new 2017 NAIA Football Coaches’ Top 25 Poll came out today. People mocked me for saying the coaches would have Eastern Oregon ahead of SOU in the poll even after SOU beat Eastern at a neutral location.
I said Montana Tech would end up #5 and they did. I said Eastern Oregon would be ranked somewhere between #11 and #15 (#11 was actually my best guess), and they came in at #11. I said SOU would be somewhere between #14 and #18 (with #17 being my best guess), and the Raiders came in at #14. I had Western Montana at #21, and the coaches have them at #28, quite a hit for a team that barely lost to a higher ranked team on the road, but the coaches are idiots when it comes to the rankings.
