Here's an awesome web resource which we stumbled upon via Facebook. Check out this podcast link from somebody named "WOJO", whom you'll soon conclude is one complete gem of a podcaster, provided you have 1-1/2 free hours on your idle hands to take a trip down Ogden City Memory Lane, and listen to the ever-awesome Ogden City Council woman Amy Wicks wax on with her indelible memories of Ogden City's"Gondola Daze."
OGDEN — The Weber State football team accomplished its goal of making the FCS Playoffs. Now, the Wildcats face the daunting task of traveling to take on the Chattanooga Mocs of the Southern Conference.Read Brandon Garside's full writeup here:
Chattanooga was ranked in the STATS Top 25 FCS poll every week this season, sometimes as high as No. 5. At 8-3, the Mocs now sit at No. 11, while Weber State has cracked the rankings for the first time all season at No. 25.
“When you get to this stage, everyone’s really good,” WSU head coach Jay Hill said. “They’re exactly what you would expect a playoff team to look like. This is a team that hung with Alabama last week for three quarters. They’re exactly what a Top 25 FCS team should look like.”
OGDEN — Weber State head coach Jay Hill said the Wildcats’ loss to Northern Arizona was painful, but his team still has a lot at stake with No. 16 Cal Poly making the trip to Stewart Stadium on Saturday.Check out Brandon Garside's full writeup here:
“Not all’s lost. We’ve got an opportunity to beat a really good team in Cal Poly,” Hill said after practice Thursday. “That in and of itself is a big enough challenge. We’ve got another opportunity to have a winning record with this game, we’ve got another opportunity to reach a bunch of goals that are still out there for us.
“If they think all’s lost because we lost two in the row, they’re crazy. There’s a lot to play for right now.”
Hill believes seven wins and finishing fourth in the Big Sky should be enough to be selected for the FCS Playoffs.
We’ve got to have toughness. We’ve got to swarm tackle, we’ve got to get all of our guys to the ball,” Hill said. “The offense has got to be productive We’ve got to put points on the board when the offense is out there, and the defense has got to find ways out of drives.”The game kicks off at noon today inside Stewart Stadium and will be broadcast on KJZZ TV, WatchBigSky.com as well as 1430 AM KLO.
OGDEN — The Weber State Wildcats’ loss to the North Dakota Fighting Hawks marked the end of the program’s longest winning streak since 2008, but with three games left on the schedule — two of which are at home — the Wildcats still have an FCS playoff appearance to fight for.Read Brandon Garside's full Standard-Examiner pre-game writweup here:
Weber State’s quest for the playoffs continues this weekend as the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks (4-4, 3-2 BSC) make the trip to Ogden as head coach Jay Hill looks to earn his first win over NAU.
NAU was picked in the preseason polls to win the conference, but losses to Eastern Washington and Northern Colorado out of the gate have kept the team in the middle of the Big Sky pack.Kickoff is scheduled for noon Saturday, Nov. 5, at Stewart Stadium. The game will be broadcast on KJZZ TV and air on 1430 AM KLO, with Steve Klauke and David Hale on the radio call.
Since then, NAU is the winner of three straight, most recently an impressive 45-34 win over then-No. 10 Montana.
“They’re very talented,” WSU Coach Hill said. “Their wide receivers are outstanding, in my opinion. They do a great job getting the ball down the field. They’re very sound on defense. Bottom line, it’s another big challenge in the Big Sky this week. We’re excited. We’re excited to be back home.”
