Morning paper: Boise State football links 10/15

When we came across an article about the Broncos being picked fifth in the WAC this morning, we did a double-take and quickly wrote an inflammatory article about disrespect and media ignorance. Then we realized the article was about the men's basketball team.

Can we please keep the basketball talk at a minimum until football season's over? Thank you.

Boise State's seniors are pretty great [Statesman]
We're thinking of adopting a son this week just so we can point to a Boise State senior and tell our kid, "That's who you should be when you grow up." Then we'll probably take the kid back to the adoption agency.
