The mountains behind the Southern Utah campus in Cedar City make for a great backdrop on a lazy Saturday afternoon, especially when there are no fans to block the view. According to Saturday's box score, only 4,021 fans attended the game - and that number was probably a bit high.
The longest road trip in the Rich Ellerson era has come to an end ... thankfully.
The Cal Poly football team finished its grueling four-game road trip on Saturday with a lackluster 28-21 victory at hapless Southern Utah (0-9).
When it was all said and done, and the Mustangs finally rolled into town Sund
ay, Cal Poly had gone 3-1 and traveled more than 7,500 miles in the process.
Yours truly followed every mile of the trip and every minute of the four games, which is why I’m falling asleep ... as I write ... this last post.
I’d give you a rundown of how the game went and how beautiful Southern Utah was but ... my eyelids can’t keep up with fingers any more.
Instead of falling asleep by reading my sluggish post here ... read about the game here ... and here ... and here.
Before I doze off ... the news worth mentioning today is Cal Poly moving up to No. 24 in Monday’s Sports Network top 25 media poll.
Cal Poly (6-3) remains unranked in the Football Championship Subdivision coaches poll.
The Mustangs have won six of seven since dropping two straight to Texas State and Idaho to open the season.
Cal Poly hosts one of the top teams in the country when 9-0 North Dakota State comes to town for a Homecoming game Saturday. ... The Great West Football Conference favorites are ranked No. 1 in the coaches poll and No. 2 in the media poll.
The Mustangs have to win and then pray like heck if they want a part of the Great West title and a spot in the postseason.
Just thinking about the possibility of another road trip for the playoffs — the day after stuffing myself on Turkey Day — makes me sleeeeeepy ...

Now, tell the truth. You are really sleepy after all of the partying that you did in Cedar City.
Did you find the State Liquor Store on Main Street or did you partake of the 3.2% beer?
PS -- I can understand why the place is called Cedar but why "City"? After being there I would rename it Cedar Township or Cedar Parish...
But then, what do I know...
I was at the game in Cedar City on Saturday and there is no way that there were 4,000-plus fans attending the game. In fact, it was senior day at the game and all of the SUU seniors were introduced at the game at the center of the field accompanied by their parents / significant others.
When I looked at how many fans were at the game for SUU it looked like there were not enough parents for the number of seniors. Another observation regarding the seniors when they were introduced, four of the approximate fifteen seniors were married. That figures since there is not much to do in Cedar City...
