The barners are excited, but I can not figure out for the life of me why that is. Was a 56-34 win over a TERRIBLE Idaho team enough to bolster their confidence that much? A lot of them are pointing to 2002 as a reason to believe they can pull this off. 2002 was a completely different time. I mean, yeah, they pulled the upset that day, but still, the gap between the two teams way back then was not near what it is now. Plus, (not to make excuses) but we were on probation, so we had nothing to play for that day other than state pride, and our coach at the time was about to bolt. The barners failt o realize any of this. They just think that they are going to win, period. As someone stated earlier, upsets in this series have happened, but NOT when the gap between the two sides is this wide. I see this being akin to 2008, 2011, and 2012.
