College football week is finally here. After talking to Robb Akey today, it sounds like the Idaho team is healthy and looking forward to its matchup against New Mexico State. One of the most enjoyable aspects of Monday’s press conference came when Akey talked about establishing a winning tradition. He said going in to Saturday’s game the [...]

Your friendly Dollar Stretcher here has been a little lame this week, not posting much … or at all — we’ll blame it on using all my free time buying cheap baby books on Amazon.com. Those of you thirsting for a little money-saving advice on those days when I’m not helping should check out the Dollar [...]

I was perusing the Interweb today and stumbled across something of interest. They are making a movie out of the book “Eat, Pray, Love,” which for those of you not aware is the story of journalist Elizabeth Gilbert’s path to self discovery and she literally eats, prays and loves her way through Italy, India and [...]

When football’s fall camp began I was excited to see what the guys had to offer. Now I’m ready for the season to begin - never satisfied I guess. Here’s what I like so far: - The depth, power and speed at running back. - The receivers look faster and stronger and are actually ripping balls away from the [...]

In case you haven’t heard, Man Men is starting its third season. I’m still in the middle of Season 2 on DVD, but if you’re up-to-speed and don’t have premium cable, the good news is, the season premiere is available for free viewing at www.hulu.com/mad-men. I hope you’re as excited to lose yourself in the [...]

A few days ago on my way to work, I overheard two guys walking a ways behind me discussing their dinner plans. “So Jack in the Box?” the first one asked. “Yep,” replied his buddy. “They have a dollar menu like everyone else.” So of course I started thinking about cheap fast food. I don’t eat fast food much, [...]

Injuries are once again mounting for an already thin Washington State football team. Neither side of the ball has been immune. On defense, the linebacker crew is without two starters – Andy Mattingly and Alex Hoffman-Ellis – while four key wide receivers – Jeshua Anderson, Daniel Blackledge, Jeffrey Solomon and Johnny Forzani – have been either held [...]

I thought things went rather well at Idaho’s first scrimmage last week. Both quarterbacks had good showings and the kicking game was great. I also thought the defensive backs had a strong start. Today Idaho holds its second scrimmage of fall camp and I’m looking forward to a couple of things. First of all, the lines. I honestly think [...]

I’m in love with a big, red machine. My husband and I have started renting movies from Redbox, the machines that rent new releases for just $1 a day and are popping up in grocery stores and malls across America. We’re big movie watchers — we probably rent at least a movie a week. We often rent [...]

Idaho coach Robb Akey isn’t a hard man to understand. That was evident at Thursday’s morning practice. Thursday was the first day of two-a-days, and after a decent start, during the latter part of practice many of the guys on both sides of the ball showed a lack of discipline - and were called out on it. On [...]
