    Daniel Horton

    If the idea of home field advantage, and the idea of getting hometown calls by officials is a legitimate assumption by teams, don't tell the coaches and players of the Montana State University-Northern Lights football program. After the way the last two home games have gone for the Lights, they might start to wonder what the deal is with all of the flags flying through the air and across their home turf.

The beach is regularly littered with beer cans, glass and other garbage. Baby diapers are left on the ground. People throw trash from their vehicles. Others continue to use pallets for firewood, leaving a...
