The one good thing about New Mexico’s current situation is the fact that Rocky Long went to SDSU and will hopefully help build their program into another MWC contender. I almost feel bad for the University and it’s administration. It makes you wonder about the criterion the administration put forth when deciding on the new coach I wonder if Spirit, Tradition, and Honor were discussed How was the interviewing process handled and what types of questions were askedI also feel bad for the New Mexico players. Their out there taking beatings on the field, trying to perform and succeed while watching a three ring circus during the week As a player that would be disheartening A new coach is supposed to bring excitement and new life. He’s supposed to exemplify what your trying to accomplish as a team. Instead he’s duking it out with one of his hires, and then dealing with suspensions and lawsuits. Also, here’s to BYU, which is climbing back up the polls -almost back in the top 20, again.

I not sure I’m looking towards yet another Las Vegas Bowl appearance. But, it will be interesting to see how the Pac-10 finalizes their year end standings and which team will be heading down to Sin City to play the Cougars. Whoever that team is could be a good match up for the Cougars -of course this is all pending a Utah win, I love how it always comes down to the Utah game…one way or another.

(b) Note that generally there is a close correlation between what the Fund earns (net of expenses) and what it pays in monthly dividends.

However, since net earning rates fluctuate from month to month while monthly dividends have remained relatively stable, there will be periods when the Fund may over-earn or under-earn its monthly dividend, which would have the effect of adding to or subtracting from the Fund's overdistributed net investment income balance. Fund management analyzes current and projected net earning rates prior to recommending dividend amounts to the Fund's Board of Trustees for declaration. There can be no assurance that the current dividend rates or the overdistributed net investment income balance will remain constant. (c) Calculated using the accumulated balance at October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007, respectively.
