Nope, but they'll move up nicely after 290 yards on the ground and a hard-fought 4 point win.

We should jumpt 4-5 spots in poll after this week. Since the GPI across the board is mostly based on polls then we should jump quite a bit up after beating the Griz this week.

Suck - missed this one to.

The only thing you are really looking forward to is dinner with Granny t-day weekend.

I agree. The Griz are going to have a great big fall. Again! The winter celebrating our National Champion fall is going to be pretty fun, too.
