PrintThe Internet is fun, even more so when you know what you're doing.
The same is true of OBNUG. There are so many features and tools and resources that you could very well find extremely cool if only I would tell you about them. Well, today is your lucky day. After the jump, I run down a list of OBNUG's best stuff just in time for the start of the season. Let the learning begin.
If you are new here, you may want to check out past community posts on How To OBNUG and the OBNUG Community Guidelines. I assume most of it is still relevant since the idea of change gives me the heeby-jeebies.
How to FanPost and FanShot: Your keys to blogger fame and fortune
Just kidding about that fame and fortune stuff. Haha, joke's on you. No wait. Joke's on me. Nuts.
FanPosts and FanShots are the best way for OBNUG readers to share what is on your mind and in your heart and scribbled in scented marker all over your diary. Got a theory about Bryan Harsin's infatuation with the option? FanPost. Got a picture of Coach Pete at a scientology lecture? FanShot. Got a link to a Bleacher Report article? Banned.
I hate reinventing wheels, so allow me to copy and paste liberally from the FanPost vs. FanShot How To article I penned last fall.
FanShots and FanPosts make their home in the sidebar both on the main OBNUG homepage and on the onion-like, layered interior pages where I'm sure fives of tens of you get lost every day. Knowing that FanShots and FanPosts exist is one thing. Using them is entirely another. Here's a primer.
The FanShot should be used for quick hits - videos, links, quotes, chats, lists. If you find something interesting but are intimidated by the English language, use a FanShot.
The FanPost should be used for blogging. You know blogging. It's that thing you beat up kids in school for doing.
Despite our best attempts at not leading lives, Drew and Nick and I are not around 24/7 to monitor Bronco news. So when we are late arriving to a story, we may very well bogart yours for our purposes. Don't be surprised to wake up one morning and see your FanShot or FanPost sitting flush inside both the right and left sidebars. Or don't be surprised to wake up one morning to see your FanPost or FanShot deleted entirely because it linked to Bleacher Report and that makes the Internet sad.
How to buy an OBNUG T-Shirt: They exist!
For those of you who have always wanted to wear a website on your person, OBNUG T-shirts are now available. Here are the designs (more colors are available at the store).
Shipping is free on all shirts because that's how we roll. And if you happen to take a pic of yourself wearing an OBNUG T-shirt, then ... I'll probably put you in my Christmas card because that would be pretty cool.
How to like OBNUG on Facebook
Allow me to retrace the awkward timeline of OBNUG's history on the big FB.
- Fall 2008, OBNUG starts a Facebook group, thinking that those are cool.
- Fall 2009, OBNUG remembers that it started a Facebook group in Fall 2008.
- Winter 2009, OBNUG starts a Facebook page.
- Summer 2009, OBNUG remembers that it started a Facebook page and puts Nick in charge.
The good news is that Nick is good at the Internets, as witnessed by our burgeoning Twitter feed. He is in the burgeoning process on Facebook, so go like us if you haven't yet. The page currently has 875 OBNUGgers, which I am just going to go ahead and round up to 1,000.
If my egregious rounding bums you out, then feel free to "like" us to make it an honest 1,000.
What are you getting yourself into if you join OBNUG's Facebook page? Nick does about one update a week, or more often depending on the news. As an infrequent Facebook user myself, I understand how frustrating it can be to log on to Facebook and see updates like: "OBNUG is in line at the supermarket and the guy in front of us looks like lesbian Paul J. Schneider" or "What famous libertarian is OBNUG? Ron Paul, of course" or "OBNUG is only two heifers away from running a self-sustaining farm community on FarmVille. Help them now!" We won't bug you with stuff like that. At least not until the offseason.
How to not be a lurker
Some of my favorite people in the world are the people I never talk to, like old high school friends, the Indian guy who provided me excellent tech support on Madden 07, Kellen Moore, and lurkers. What's a lurker, you ask? It's you, if you read this site and have yet to comment. Let's be friends.
There are a lot of benefits to joining OBNUG, not the least of which is cracking wise with the best Bronco fans you will ever meet and one Virginia Tech guy. Plus, you get these fancy features:
- Live comment counts.
- FanPosting and FanShotting.
- Custom profile.
- A top navigation bar you will seldom use.
Signing up has never been simpler, provided you are on that Facebook thing. FB Connect yourself to OBNUG in seconds flat. And when you're done, leave us a comment to let us know you're here.
How to comment
Pretty much all the time, commenting on OBNUG is top notch. But I have some reminders on how to make it topper notch.
Recommending: When you see a comment that you love, give it a rec by clicking on the rec action at the end of the comment (probably hidden under "Actions"). Three recs and the comment turns green.
Flagging: If you read a comment that would make grandma cringe, you can flag it and an OBNUG moderator will look into it.
Replying: If you want to respond to someone's reaction, hit the reply button instead of starting a new comment entirely. This makes the flow of conversation run a little more smoothly, conversation being a loose term if you happen to be on an Anagram Roster post.
Guidelines: When you signed up as an OBNUGger, you agreed to a commenting Bill of Rights, and a very prudish one at that.
Welcome to the OBNUG community. Just a few rules: no swearing, no inappropriate topics, respect the community, stay on topic, and don’t make fun of my pick ’em choices. Other than that, make yourself at home.
If you do find yourself really needing to cuss up a storm, you'll be happy to know that OBNUG has you covered. In lieu of actually swearing, OBNUG commenters have adopted the phrase BAD WORDS and use it often to replace stuff I would otherwise have to delete. Works like a chram. I mean, charm. Arrgh. BAD WORDS!
Now get out there and make me proud!
Keep up the great work in the FanPosts, FanShots, and comments. You guys are the best. Let's have some fun this season.

True story!
To get a men’s shirt that generally fits you well, you end up squishing some parts in there. Not so comfortable OR attractive.
Seriously though – I got all mushed up when I saw there were shirts for me and Mads. So nice of you guys.
OBNUG Resident Mom and Bronco Nation Podcast Field Reporter.
I can haz OBNUG shirts?
Great Refresher.
Hey gang! Here is a super idea: I have been trying to spread the Bronco Nation fever to my girlfriend (and as of two weeks ago wife!) since we first started dating. You and your super friends ought to write a post that will persuade the new Mrs. Rand McNalley (and other spouses) that OBNUG is at least as cool as online Martha Stewart decoration tips. Who’s with me?
Crissie and I will have to get on that...
If Kevan and Nick don’t. We need more girls on here!

Whoa
Slow down there, big guy.
First of all, congrats on the nuptials. Second, do you really want your betrothed to know how much time you spend on OBNUG? REALLY? I counsel the slow path: persuade her that the community here is full of thoughtful analysis, cogent argumentation, enlightening repartee, an occasional B/W, and Mark Johnson jokes. Coax her into some experimental lurking.
And tell her Kevan has forgotten more than Martha has ever known about home decorating and/or pottery, composting, block-printing, and flower arranging.

"thoughtful analysis, cogent argumentation, enlightening repartee"-and munson
Neither thoughtful, cogent or enlightening-but good for a laugh every other week or two.
Kinda’ like Andy Rooney on “60 Minutes”; for years they’d introduce the commentators and then say “…and more” and the only “more” was him. He pointed it out and they changed it.
’Course I aint no Rooney-my Depends stay dry until mid-afternoon at the earliest.

Alert
Especially alert Ms. Rand McNally about munson. I’m pretty sure his time on OBNUG is considered “billable.” In two minute increments.

Hitting very close to the bone very close. As markt can attest-all time is
“billable” in the cosmos which is the practice of law. “2 minute increments”? You should be so lucky.

Rand
I’m still trying to convince Mr. Crissie not to lurk. ;) I’ll be meeting Mrs. Rand in DC, correct? She’ll be a registered member by the following Tuesday. I excel at making friends.
OBNUG Resident Mom and Bronco Nation Podcast Field Reporter.
She will be there.
Now that the wedding is over I am hoping to sneak lots of propaganda into her stuff so that she can start absorbing and appreciate things more. I took her to her first games last year. We saw your Tahoe (I think) at the game in Logan last year, but nobody was really around then. We would love to get in on the OBNUG festivities pregame in Maryland.

Which you can’t do with drop-diamond earrings. OOoh-I’m starting to scare myself. I know more about this than I want to admit. How ‘bout ’dem Bears? (ref John Candy/Steve Martin “Planes, Trains, Automobiles”-the "that’s not a pillow" scene)

Not on topic (no surprise there).
I missed the whole Mr. Fiskers thing, and probably misspelled it too. Anyone care to enlighten, or am I going to be left to twist in the wind?

Mr. Fiskers is our resident attack dog cat. When the talking heads refuse to do their homework or write articles that insult Bronco fans’ intelligence, we call on Fiskers to set them straight. Usually through a series of ad hominem attacks.
He also has hyper-thyroidism and two friends in the cat mafia (Princess Fancybritches and Tabby Davis Jr.) who have his back if things get too hot.

Not really sure.
It looks like there are shirts below Adult Small called “14-15”. I admit, I have no idea what that means, but I wager it’s smaller than an Adult S, which means it would probably fit a kid…granted that they are older than 5.

One thing you forgot to mention about OBNUG...
That is the live commenting that goes on during all away games. Well, it probably goes on during home games too, but I’m too busy attending.
I cannot tell you how fun it is to be constantly commenting and reading as the game is going on. Some of those game threads from last year have multiple hundreds of comments posted. It’s like watching the game with 20 or 30 friends in your living room, except you can do it in your underwear… er… I mean… nevermind…
So Intern, prep your ‘turnover’ pic and let’s get ready for the season. If you haven’t joined us for a live game thread, you haven’t been watching Boise State the right way.
Game on, Broncos.
I have attended every home Boise State football game since 1992.

I dont want to hear that I’m the “price” of OBNUG but I’ll disregard it. Rec’d for “The Boxer” ref-my senior year of high school/

Could be "lies and jest"
Homophonic and all.
As far as the “price” goes, please lean toward the “jest” part of my comment.

I will forever love Mikrino
because apparently in addition to being multilingual he wrote that amazing “God Hates Iowa” post last year. I swear that was the funniest thing I’ve ever read.
BTW Mikrino – still waiting for your visage so that I can make you into a Fathead for the RV. We’re trying to stop at all of the major stadiums on the route to spread some Boise State lovin’… Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio State, Notre Dame (just to take a pic with Touchdown Jesus in Bronco gear).

more,more more more
keep it coming men.i cant get enough.i want to know everything about the broncs.EVERYTHING K .you guys are awesome thank you. from just a total bronco freak in the south endzone. GO BRONCOS
You almost had me last time with the Vin Diesel movie invite but this time I am swearing off lurking the OBNUG site for good. You start my day, end my night, and occupy way too much of my office time in between to not participate.

Welcome to the site!
Things get a little crazy, but that’s half the fun!

I'll make you a deal for a shirt
Send me a Blue XL in time for the sept 6th game. (I’m leave on the 3rd so be sure to get it out soon) And I will ware it to the Big house game of your choice as well as youtube blogg from my iphone peoples remarks.
Just imagine a late summer game and a Bronco supporter in Ann Arbor showing the colors.
Now wouldn’t that be priceless?
And for those that think me a carpet bagger the following photo is from 04 !
I had flowen the inlaws out from Idaho and taken them up to Mackinaw Island and some great lakes Samlon fishing.
I would love to have that hat back was one of my favs.
P.S. The little Atlantic Samlon only looks small because those Kings 20lb plus Fish.
This day is blowing my mind...like basic 4th grade math
Today I wake up and receive a Dayman/Nightman coffee mug for my 27th birfday, which means I can now drink coffee (my favorite drink) out of an “It’s Always Sunny…” mug (my favorite show) while reading OBNUG (my favorite website), finally understanding what rec’d means (my most brutal nemesis of a phrase on this unicorn-esque blog), and wearing my Jeremy Avery Bronco jersey (his number now representing my age….honestly Jeron is my favorite player right now, but don’t tell Jeremy, I think our imaginary friendship would sour). Granted I’m stuck in a festering pool of SEC fandom in South Carolina (just one more year), but Idaho will still be better than the other 49 states and Mexico when I return. Besides, it’s going to be a lil’ easier to deal with southern ridiculousness once Boise State possesses my…um…their National Championship. I’m gonna buy a shirt…one of each idiot (sorry I get aggressive when I get excited), put metal on metal and then lift that metal so I can big boat/lil’ boat VT fans on Sept 6th, and get ready for what is now cosmically guaranteed to be the best year of my life. The spirits of football greatness have spoken to me….and so it is wriiten.

Going to DC on the 6th?

It is not a question of if I will be there....
…but what shirt will I be wearing, and what quarter will I lose my voice (heavy odds favor a total loss of vocal projection capabilities approximately 2 hours prior to the game). Got a couple Wisconsin fans coming with us just so they can see how true fans travel.

Wsconsin fans
You know what you call a 300 lb women in wisconsin?
Wait for it ..
It’s coming
Anorexic.
I’ve done gameday with some Wisconsin fans they are alright. Sure beat the hell out of Penn State fans and certainly miles above both Notre dame and osu fans.
However the best road fans I have ever spent time with hands down Boise State fans.
You have to love to differnces between the Boise State fans and TCU!!
We should hook up, my oldest son and I will be in DC Sunday and going to be staying until the moring of the 8th doing som site seeing , plus we learned last tme to leave the next day after the game leaves one a bit lagged when you get home.
Don’t for get to wear your blue to the game.

Anyone know when the tailgating group will start circling the wagons???? Got hotel, got tickets, got rental car, got plane tickets to Baltimore for the VA Tech game…. dying for a group to tailgate with. Happy to donate my fair share of money to the cause.
We can always start one.
Drop me a line and lets build one.
