South Dakota State trounced NAU, so I won't be heading out to Cheney next Saturday.

But I'm looking on the bright side.

1. This frees up a huge block of time next weekend.

2. This means if it is really, really cold next Saturday, I can plan on being somewhere warm.

3. South Dakota State advancing in the FCS playoffs will give self-styled humorists in the Spokane media an opportunity to note over and over that the SDS nickname is Jackrabbits.

4. Can give my Big Sky fan proxy to an EWU alum friend and devote more time to studying the classics.
