Vandals shutout North Dakota
Written by Madison McCord - Argonaut   
Thursday, 02 September 2010
The Idaho vandal offense showed no offseason hangover and the defense made a 180-degree turnaround, completing the team’s first defensive shutout since 1997 as the Vandals easily defeated the North Dakota Fighting Sioux.

 The game, which took place last night in the Kibbie Dome at 6 p.m., quickly turned into a scrimmage for the Vandals as head coach Robb Akey pulled starting quarterback Nathan Enderle in the third quarter.

Hitting the trails

Matthew Robinson, an exercise science major and first year member of the University of Idaho cross-country team takes a run through the Shattuck Arboretum in preparation for their first race this Saturday at Phillips Farm, just north of Moscow.

Vandals take to the trails as they host first meet of the year

The University of Idaho’s cross-country team is young. The runners know it, and they’re not going to let it hinder their performance. The top-finishing sophomores of last year are back, and hungry for a conference title at the end of this season.

This year, the men and women of Vandal cross-country will have plenty of competition and hopefully some new hardware. After smashing local and conference-wide records for a decade, Idaho cross-country coach Wayne Phipps set a standard of excellence for the Vandal program. It’s a standard he expects from every one of his runners, regardless of age.

Walker proving her worth

She may be a redshirt freshman, but in her college debut last weekend at the Nike Cougar Invitational, Allison Walker played a game well beyond her experience.

The 6-foot 1-inch outside hitter led the team in kills in all three matches over the weekend, totaling 53 kills. She earned all tournament honors, cementing her spot as a team leader three games into her college career. And she could have missed out on this opportunity if she had taken a different athletic option.

Game of the week: Boise State vs. Virginia Tech
Written by Michael Greenway - Argonaut   
Thursday, 02 September 2010

The No. 3 ranked Boise State Broncos will travel to Washington D.C to play the No. 10 ranked Virginia Tech Hokies in an event many believe will be the game of the year in college football.

Boise State will feature a talented offense and defense with a total of 20 returning starters, including quarterback Kellen Moore, who threw over 3,500 yards and 39 touchdown passes last season. The Broncos have not faced a defense like they will face Monday night when they play in FedEx field against the Hokies — the Hokies defense only gave up 15.9 points a game last season.

Defending the cup

Thursday, 02 September 2010

Coming off a split weekend, the University of Idaho women’s soccer squad will travel to Pocatello, Idaho to try to claim their second Governor’s Cup. The Vandals captured the cup for the first time in school history last year.

The team will begin their cup defense on Friday when they take on the Idaho State Bengals. The Bengals are on the road of recovery after being thumped 5-0 by No. 22 Marquette at the start of the season. Since that game, ISU has earned two victories and settled for a 0-0 double-overtime tie against Utah State.

Understanding and knowing the details and functions of your equipment is the most important contributor to success during bow hunting season.
There are hundreds of other factors to putting your tag on a monster, but being familiar with your bow and how it works will keep you prepared if anything goes wrong, as well as help you spot any dangerous faults in your equipment.

Knowing these tips will help you keep clothing and other objects clear of all moving parts, and may keep you from blowing an opportunity of a lifetime.

Out of WAC

Thursday, 02 September 2010
BYU ends speculation and goes to WCC
The WAC just can’t seem to catch a break these days. Long before Fresno and Nevada succeeded to green grass, there was talk of Brigham Young University, which was to go independent in football and join the WAC in all other sports.
On Tuesday the rumors ended BYU announced their intent to join the West Coast Conference for all sports except football, where it will remain an independent, hoping to garner national attention.
It’s a tough pill to swallow for WAC commissioner Karl Benson — having BYU in the fold would have given the WAC some serious firepower, as well as some hand in negotiating other quality teams to join in.
But not all is lost because...

File Photo by Kate Kucharzyk/Argonaut University of Idaho middle back, Kelsey Taylor, spikes the ball during the practice Wednesday afternoon in Memorial Gym. The Idaho volleyball team opened the season this weekend at the Nike Cougar Invitational in Pullman.


After spending years in their hometowns, many high school graduates choose to study in far-off places, but for Kelsey Taylor, a senior middle-blocker for the University of Idaho Vandals volleyball squad, hometown loyalty and deep-set Vandal roots won out.

“I’ve been a Vandal for my whole life,” Taylor said.

Jake Barber/Argonaut Offensive lineman Tyrone Novikoff, 67, prepares to block an incoming defender during football practice August 23 in the Kibbie Dome. Novikoff, a junior from Curlew, Wash., played in 21 games as a Vandal between the 2008-09 seasons.


Serving justice on and off the field

As a returning member of the Vandal’s offensive line, junior Tyrone Novikoff had to step into a bigger role this season.

Last season the Vandals graduated all but one of their starting offensive linemen, and with gaps in the line, Novikoff and fellow upperclassmen had to step in to replace.
