Cheers Above the Chain Saws Humboldt State playing its football season opener against Colorado Mesa at home on Aug. 30 in the Redwood Bowl in Arcata, Calif. The Lumberjacks won, 38-19, and followed it with a 42-17 victory over Azusa Pacific to start the 2012 season 2-0. Wins are expected often this season, which is one reason Humboldt State has held on to its pricey football team while other colleges in the state have folded theirs.
