The highlights are here! The highlights are here! Guys, the highlights of Washington State's win over Idaho State are here!

Behold, 15:37 of highlights from Saturday's season-opener at Martin Stadium. Real highlights! Not a couple first down passes and filler. There were actually enough superb plays to create a real highlight video.

I'm not kidding when I say this is a big deal, and my excitement is genuine. I can remember highlight videos, even against Montana State last season, that left a lot to be desired. It's not the fault of the athletic department or video crew, there ... well, there was just little to highlight.

So this, to me, is awesome. I have no idea what's on the clip, thanks to an Internet connection in Moscow that makes AOL look like broadband, but I'm sure it's excellent.

By the way, if you're wondering, WSU is a 14-point favorite over UNLV in the opening line. We're not sure, but Craig and I believe the last time WSU was a double-digit favorite over anyone came in 2007, either against San Diego State or UNLV.
