A Boise State national championship t-shirt? Where do I order?

• Jared Zabransky!

What?

I love PF Chang’s!

Doug Martin.

Seriously. I love that little guy! In fact, I created a Doug Martin in NCAA 2010, then recruited him to BSU, and made him a 4-year starter. Best 4 years of my video-coaching life. :)

Dempsy Dees

Korey Hall/ Marty Tadman

Both truly embodied the quintessential Boise State “blue collar” mentality. Fundamentally sound, smart players, who made plays when it counted time and time again. Not big enough, not fast enough, not strong enough. Winners all the same.

Quintin Mikell was my favorite player to watch when he was a Bronco. We gave him the nickname ‘Visa’ because he was always, “everywhere you want [him] to be.”

That said, I definitely have a mancrush on Doug Martin and Marty Tadman.

Kevan,

Imagine my excitement upon arriving home from work, and seeing this t-shirt offer! Not being willing to wait to see if I could possibly win a free one, I hurriedly clicked through the links, entered the “OBNUG20” coupon code, and was horrified to see a notice saying this coupon code is invalid!! Is this some sort of Vandal conspiracy? Did Mark May surreptitiously send you wrong information ?? I now have a gun to my temple, and just hoping this problem can be fixed before I blow my fricken’ head off!!! Please let all of OBNUG nation know what is going on! My wife is trying to talk me into pulling the trigger, so I don’t have much time! Thanks!

Coupon has been fixed. You should get 20% off now when “OBNUG20” is entered. Use all caps.

Thanks, Kevan! My wife is very disappointed, but I’m happy as hell! My head gets to stay intact, and I get to pull this bad-ass shirt over it!

because he plays hard and is super tough. Plus he is just about the best sport out on the field I’ve ever seen. He’s always helping other players up off their duffs after tackles (including the other teams’) and is just about the most self-less guy out there.

I know I know, big shocker. But he displayed everything you want out of a Bronco football player. He was tough, hard-working, and had “swag” if you will. For only scoring 1 touchdown, this dude defined the word swag. He kept teammates going, always talking, trash and motivational. He wasn’t the most talented Bronco, but watching his one score showed that hard work and dedication will bring a person to achieve something great.(Let’s face it, we all have something inside us that would would love to score a td on the blue)

Although Billy Winn is a second (too bad he went to an opposing high school during the years while i was in high school in vegas…otherwise i wouldn’t have cared!)

But the young Mr. Venable knows how to hit with attitude…and his versitality on the field is WAY more variable than the number of sports his family’s involved with.

Everyone knows about Max Venable and older brother Will (at least us Padres fans)…if the world hasn’t been “hit” yet, they soon will with Winston!

…Or was it Matt K…my brain got confused last year…which one is still playing? My favorite is the old one, not the one still playing.

…what happened to the grand idea of putting our lovely OBNUG logo on one?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SPELL THIS PUT TO ME!!!
-He rocks some bad-ace dreadlocks
-Is BEYOND superbadassallinoneword…
-He makes a cheetah look like a turtle..
-He has his own personal RV!
-OWNS multiple quarterbacks..
-He is far above more intimidating than Chuck Norris (Oh yes I went there!!)
-He wears #1, how is that not reflective of were he stands on this list of all-time greats…
-He is such a badass that even the words badass don’t do his dreadlocks justice, let alone the man rocking those dreadlocks..
-He could race around the world, save us from global warming and be back in time to play for the-E-T-S!!

Yes this is the greatest, the best, the irreplaceable Mr. SWAGGER UPON SWAGGER!! Mr. Kick your white ass in a shoe tying contest!! MR. KYLE WILSON!!!

Hands Down!

Mikrino already named him, but since he named two, I’m stealing one. Kid from a tiny Idaho town who worked his tail off and became one of the toughest and most fun to watch players I can remember.

It’s Korey Hall. He’s the quintessential hard working, hard hitting Boise State player, and he’s actually from Idaho..as we get to be a better known team, we’ve had to do a lot of out of state recruiting, but the hometown boy defined our defense. He’s the only player I’ve ever been worried about having to replace after they left, he made that much of an impact on the games he played in.

He really turned his career around after his initial bit of Titus Young-ism. The man became humble and confident. He never doubted the Boise State way, regardless of being left out of the “big” national picture so many times. He respected his opponents and lead his teammates. He made the single, most obvious comment about what Boise State is, which is now in my signature. I’ve thought of all Broncos past and present and I never cared more about their future that I do of the man with dreads.

Side note: Bush Hamdan has my 2nd place vote. Great contributor to the Boise community, even with Fresno State first Q interceptions.

Because of that leveling blow to Dalton. I may or may not have peed my pants in fear.

I’ve got to have Scott grab me one of those T’s! LOOOOOOOOVE THEM!

Had one freaking hand…and was a stand-out cornerback on the Broncos 1994 team that made a run all the way to the National Championship.

Can you think of a Bronco player that overcame more than that? I’m having trouble.

I haven’t had to answer a question this hard since my wife asked me what happened to the leftover Easter candy.

I racked my brain and read all the comments above. All the familiar names came to mind, yet I sat here perplexed. I didn’t want to name a player already listed above….then it hit me.

Titus Young

As a true freshman, among the fumbles and mistakes we also seen a lot of talent and a huge burst of speed from this skinny kid. Then of course he really mucked up his sophomore season with some bonehead off the field decisions.
Then Titus did what all young men should do when they make mistakes. They learn from them. They redeem themselves. Titus came back for his senior season at full force complete with a 1,000 yard season, 15 TDs, fumble recoveries in the end zone, hurdling Bulldogs, and of course hang loose signs to keep his edge.
Titus went from possibly getting himself kicked off the team a couple years ago to being an NFL draft pick next year. And on top of all that he’s freakin’ exciting to watch.

Also, since he tweets almost religiously, he gives me an excuse to check my Twitter account.

sincerely,
-Mark Johnson

Since you already took the one-handed Miller (drew) I will have to take
Tony Hilde?… nope… KC Adams?… na… Jay Swillie?… maybe not… Winky White?… getting warmer…

Ryan Ikebe! A sure winner!

This T-Shirt is very cool, but I live in Chicago. If I wear this around here people will see the colors and think it’s University of Illinois (their U of I) but then they’ll see the 14-0 and National Champs and just be completely confused. I’m trying to spread the BSU gospel in this forsaken land, but I need clothing that explicitly says BSU (Broncos won’t work because then people think it’s Denver).

Sweet T-shirt though.

I wanted to pick someone more… unique, but it just wouldn’t be true. (Though Ian Johnson is a close second.) Who can’t love his completion percentage, his football savvy, and, well, you get the point. But what I love most is the fact that he’s so humble. And the fact that he calls his own plays sometimes. And could run (not literally) circles around pretty much any other QB in the nation. And, well, everything else.

Bigbaloo for going into the wayback machine to pull out Ryan Ikebe’s name and for submitting Doug Harper as Mark Johnson’s favorite player. I’ll forward your details on to the 4th and forever folks, BB, and they’ll get you set up.

Lots and lots of fun entries – DaWaun Miller, Jovan Hutchinson, Quintin Mikell, Ia Falo, etc. Did you know: My second favorite Boise State player is Michael Lose. My third favorite Boise State player is Tom Brandstater.

I’ll try to get more of these contests/giveaways going this offseason. Glad to see some new faces in the comments, too.

Where are all these new members coming from?

I like it.

JC Percy. Of all the players I’ve taught (about half a dozen or so), he’s been easily the brightest of the bunch. And he seemed to lack some of the attitude in class that I’ve seen in other players. That was his freshman year, though, before he walked on the team. I love that he’s a walk-on, and has been able to make contributions, particularly to The Riddler.
