USU is bowl eligible, the basketball team rebounds strong and The Sagebrush Spot reaches a milestone.
1) Bobby Wagner
Holy lord this guy is unreal! 15 total tackles and the fumble recovery that thwarted Nevada's attempt at scoring. One hell of a finish for a once-in-a-generation player.
2) Robert Turbin
Threw down a little foreshadowing in the postgame press conferences that he has NFL dreams for next season, and who could blame him? He said that he came here partly because he wanted to be a key in turning around a program, and he's definitely done it. Regardless of what he does, this website supports him, and chances are some long tribute post will be in order if he indeed goes to the league.
3) Second half defense
The performance against Hawaii was pretty impressive, allowing only three points in that second half. They only allowed 10 in the second half against San Jose State and seven points against Nevada. Including the Idaho game, USU has allowed only 17 combined points in the 4th quarter during this four-game win streak. That kind of performance is sure to carry this team to bowl eligibility before not too long.... oh wait!
4) The young guns
Preston Medlin, Adam Thoseby and Ben Clifford combine to score 52 points on 18-of-25 shooting, 13 rebounds and nine assists. Medlin is the oldest of those guys... only a sophomore... So if you weren't sure before about why you should still be excited about Aggie basketball, there's three good reasons right there.
5) 10,000 hits
This weekend The Sagebrush Spot got its 10,000th hit. For a site that is only a month old, can't say I'm feeling bad about that at all! Thanks to everyone who has been here, and hope you like what you read and want to keep coming back!
