Re: 12/15/09 -- SE Louisiana (1-4) @ Boise State (4-4)

Nice win there! Hopefully, you can get some momentum going and do well in WAC play. The WAC looks quite strong this year, too, relatively, at least they are middle of the pack with a #14 RPI. Good luck!!!

First up will be mighty New Mexico State on the road and then on the road against Idaho at the end of the week. It looks like that we're going to match the Broncos' last season number of wins (6) and possibly be better than their 3-13 record last season.


BTW, if you ever travel towards my way, let me know about a week or two in advance and I'll treat you to a game at McCoy Stadium, the AAA home of the Red Sox.

Yeah, I have been up to the Northeast once. I went to Boston in November 2006 and had a good time sightseeing and I toured Fenway Park (too bad it wasn't baseball season!!!). I probably won't be going up that way anytime soon, but thanks for the offer. It would be neat to go to a Pawtucket game so I could see future Red Sox stars since it seems the Sox are finally actually developing talent. It seems like in the past they would trade away young talent for veterans. The Hanley Ramirez trade comes to mind. Thanks for the offer, though!

The offer is open-ended so whenever the next time comes, and it's baseball season, the offer still stands.
