Hard Work Beats Talent When Talent Isn't Working Hard


Following up on my previous blog "Nobody likes a loser", I want to touch on the opposite side of the spectrum. In recent news the Idaho State Bengal football team won the first game of their season ending a 15 game losing streak. The guys played the best game overall than they played all season, and it showed. The team had meetings all week between seniors and the underclassmen about what they needed to do to win the last game and end the season on a great note. Senior linebacker Ryan Phipps said, " Almost all of the guys said that the deciding factor that will turn this program around is comradery." The team did just that with four quarters of play plus one overtime. They beat a hot Sacramento State team that was on a 3 game win streak in the Big Sky Conference, which is very rare! So the final thing that decided this game was the intensity and passion that the ISU ballers played with.
