Weber State Wildcats Still on the Prowl

There is a second tier in existence that is Aggie nation in Logan, which I’m sure in large part have a lot to do with alumni, but I am still befuddled by this. There is a program out of the Big Sky that has had plenty of success in recent years...

Weber Cooks is the newest internet sensation
Thanks to The Soup and Gawker, I came across these two videos, which are just about the darndest things I've ever seen. They're short "cooking" segments that come from the Weber State University student news program and a man named Steven Reed.
I put the word cooking in quotes because these aren't the cooking segments you may be used to if you grew...
Weber Cooks Chili Cheese Nachos
Weber State has a cooking show, it seems, and has taken the under on production value, recipe complexity, and hosting. I don’t know who the genius is that put this together but it plays like a “Tim and Eric” sketch.
Was this intentionally sad? Did he really intend to share this with 4-6 people? Or maybe he just went home to his cat and ate it in front of a 13″ black and white...
