It's that time of year again. The beginning part. That means we get to lay 2010 to rest and focus on a brand new decade full of brand new opportunities. In retrospect, 2010 was pretty sweet, but that doesn't mean 2011 can't be even sweeter. So, after the jump, let's start making some New Year's resolutions Bronco Nation...it's the only way we'll get rid of that spare tire before swimsuit season.
My turn
1) Rewrite all my Vandal jokes...replace "Idaho" with "New Mexico".
2) See if those Inception guys can extract the Nevada game from my subconscious.
3) Hide the phone numbers of all Bronco assistant coaches.
4) See what the sport "basket ball" is all about.
5) Look back wistfully at memories of Robb Akey's mustache.
6) See if football team is accepting 30 year-old walk-ons.
7) Now that he's graduated, start peeling my life-sized Sean King Fathead off my office wall.
8) Obsess about Bronco football both night and day (same resolution as last year).
9) Try to market line of Kellen Moore imaginary pistols.
10) Stay at least 100 yards away from Doug Martin at all times.
11) Short-sheet Chris Ault's bed.
12) Prank call Nathan Enderle. Ask him if his refrigerator is running. If he says, "yes"...tell him he's about to be sacked.
13) Start writing fresh hyperbole to describe Jeremy Ioane.
14) Successfully patent hand-graft technique. Use Austin Pettis donor hands on recipient Geraldo Hiwat.
15) Get used to defending a different mediocre conference.
16) Travel to mountains of Tibet to consult with football gods. Ask what I did to tick them off last year.
17) Construct even better Bronco Stadium Jumbotron out of Lite Brites™.
18) Formally retract that "white helmet" hoax that we started.
19) Travel to Moscow, steal top secret Kibbie Dome plans...use to build gardening shed in back yard.
20) Figure out how I can be paid royalties every time someone mentions 2005 Georgia loss between now and 2011 opener. Early retirement by September.
21) Browse craigslist for decommissioned Soviet satellite as it may be the only way I'm going to get to see the MTN network this year.
22) Write more awesome OBNUG articles under pen name "Kevan Lee".
Your turn
in the comments section, go ahead and lay out your own New Year's resolutions. 2011 is going to be epic(ish).

"[O]ne play can win a game but one play cannot lose a game." - Coach Petersen
1 Figure out how a Texas CHRISTIAN University can have such a HEATHEN as a head coach
2 WAC was an acronym you could pronounce…try to get M.W.C. to sound like anything (MaWuC?!?!?!)
3 Find a loophole in the NCAA rules that allows Kellen Moore one more year as our starting quarterback in 2012…
4 Watch Space Jam, successfully replicate Michael Jordan’s “super stuff” that he gives the Looney Toons bunch, extract similar “super stuff” (keep it clean) from Swyk, Pettis, Young, et al, and give it to the 2011 team.
5 Two words…season tickets
6 Continue to dislike Nevada, Fresno State, Hawaii, and, yes, even Idaho with the same sort of passion that I always have. I don’t wish harm on the players physically. Just 50-60 point beatdowns every week.
7 Do better with “This Week At The Diggity’s” I’m thinking a compilation at the end of next year. Book? It’s actually crossed my mind.
8 Work on my wit. I know what you’re saying…“Diggity! How is that possible?” Well, I’m not quite sure but it’s always good to try and improve, right?
9 Hate the SEC more. I lived in Athens, GA for a few months about 6 years ago. That was enough. We were scheduled for a game there that year. I don’t believe it ever happened.
10 Give the Big Ten some time to change the name of their divisions. You may as well call them "Arrogant" and "A$$es"
11 Tolerance…more of it? Nah. I hate the Raiders, anyone that’s ever played for the Raiders, the Chiefs, the Denver Broncos (somewhat tolerant due to the look Mrs D just gave me), the Vandals, the Utes, the SEC, the BCS, TCU, John L Smith, Houston Nutt, Dan Hawkins, Robb Akey, Gary Patterson, Chip Kelly, Nevada, Trolls, Reno, Les Miles, cooked carrots, vacuuming, decorative towels, drama, other schools’ Pro Combat unis, the fact that the "U" still thinks they still have SWAGGER, and, strangely, intolerance.
Noel.Diggity.....NO DOUBT!
Bronco Nation...where the heavens and our hallowed ground are both BLUE!
Amazing.
1. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
9. Is it possible?
10. Epic.
11. Just made me spit, I laughed so hard. So true, so true. I have such complete and utter DISDAIN for most of that list. I do however enjoy vacuuming and decorative towels. What can I say? I’m a woman.

5. Attend an OBNUG tailgate.
6. Become one of the “cool kids” at OBNUG.
7. Go to DQ and order “The Coach Pete.”
8. Twitter-Stalk BSU players as much as possible throughout the summer.
9. Wish Kaeperlegs luck in the Arena Football League.
10. Keep a full bottle of Nyquil handy just in case we miss a field goal next season.

1. I’ve got D-TV in the living room. Come on over.
5. Can’t believe you didn’t attend last year with the Mrs! Love you guys!!!
6. You aren’t already?
10. Mouthwash, JRig, mouthwash.
OBNUG Resident Mom
Good point
Instead of wishing all this stuff for CableOne, one of my resolutions should be to get DirecTV.
I only made it to two games last year and only one with Mrs. JRig. Both of those we got there too late for the tailgate. Next year, I’ll MAKE it happen!!

My not resolutions
since every year I promise something to make myself better, I usually end up breaking those in a short time so this year I’m changing it up. So before each statement put Not going too….
1. Not cuss ( its not ever worked out so I give up)
2. To tolerate the Vandals (we should support Idaho teams because they are in Idaho, I support Idaho its called State Taxes)
3. Ignore the trolls (its on like Donkey Kong)
4. Not strangle the Moxie Java girl ( I know it would have made me feel better)
5. Crash into cars with Nevada Plates ( Insurance premiums are to expencive must resist the urge)
6. Hate Family Guy ( I’m forced to watch it anyways might as well make the best of it.)
7. Wave nicely to the other teams buses as they roll through the BSU parking lot before games (giving the bird is so much funner (yes I used funner its my resolution) . )
8. Keep haters on Fb page because they are "friends" ( you have your right to your opinion fine just don’t talk your trash on my page keep it on your own )
9. Call off the hit on WAC officials again (Now they have all taken jobs MWC and are just going to come over there to terrorize us)
10. not Stalk (I want to be in the background of Gary Patterson, Coach Akey, Chip Kelley and Bob Stoops conference picture being the creeper lady with the evil look in her eye )
11. Break my resolutions
MrsDiggity.......NO DOUBT
Idaho skies are Blue and Orange
I will never waste my money gambling in Nevada again. I'm going to Oregon and i BW hate Oregon. Billy Winn wins the NOBEL PEACE Prize 2011 for not knocking the BW out of a BW Nevada fan
1. Totally had that resolution and I broke it hollering DAMN IT like 42 times during the Rose Bowl.
5. Loooooooooove it!
7. Nevada’s buses better not drive past the tailgate. There’s a possibility I’ll be arrested by one of those nice policemen on the motorcycles.
10. You Diggitys are pretty darn funny!
OBNUG Resident Mom
I wish my BW"S were DAMN IT, my mom would not threaten me with soap at 38 oh and I like Decorative towels too and I like to watch Mr Diggity vacuum ;)

In 2011 I resolve,
to continue being exactly like I was in 2010, but I was pretty awesome then.
You’re welcome. YAY ME!
Championships should be earned on the field, not in newspapers or computers.

The New Year
To get season ticks and start posting on obnug! You guys are great! I’m new to posting but have been reading for a while. I graduated from BSU in 2008 and began following the school when I moved here in 05. Go Broncos!
2011 Top 5 Resolutions
5. Write a book on our experiences in Boise.
4. Get “Until Stephen is Cancer Free” wristbands to everyone that wants them.
3. Get season tickets…and someway to get the whole family there and back again for every home game.
2. Try to get tickets to the BSU – TCU game in Fort Worth…this one is probably more realistic.
1. Find a way yo get everything we need from down here, i.e., Stephen’s doctors, friends, and other things he is involved in, to relocate to Boise.
1 out of 5 isn’t bad…is it?

Noel.Diggity.....NO DOUBT!
Bronco Nation...where the heavens and our hallowed ground are both BLUE!
We've set up a special email address
Just email your mailing address to jbsbb5@gmail.com and we will get them to you. No charge. Also, what’s cool is that if you look close at the image of Kellen Moore doing the imaginary double pistols you will see one of the wristbands on his right wrist. Awesome!!!
Happy New Year!
1. No obsessing about polls (sure this will be broken after first on comes out)
2. Try to get to a OBNUG tailgate.
3. Purchase no more bronco gear. My closet is half full already.
I counted the other day...
And realized I have seven Bronco hats. My first thought was, “wow, that’s pretty good.” My second thought was, “I need more.”

9 is good
I think I would have more than seven but recently I’ve been going through this phase of trying to wear hats less often. Consequently, it has effected my hat buying habits. Although, that didn’t stop me from getting the super sweet Coaches Pro Combat hat.

I don't wear hats...
And I have 4

Half full?
Try half empty.
I love the colors Orange and Blue. Go Broncos!!! Go Titans!!! BAD WORD Gators!!!
Here we go for 2011
1. Try to do a weekly LfR about SOMEthing.

3. Get back to Boise
4. Run around the UCR campus with a Bronco head on me like Corso, only better.
5. Learn to speak and understand Holtz-speech.
6. Follow more Bronco Basketball

"Speak softly and wear a loud shirt" - Kimo's Rules
How about these
1. Continue to post on OBNUG, hopefully getting more rec’s and comments
2. Fit a whole taco in my mouth
3. Convince my wife to let me go to BSU’s bowl game next year, no matter where it is
4. Pay more attention to Bronco basketball-I really like their new coach. Mr. Rice has something brewing
5. Beat TCU next season
6. That’s it

Resolutions
- punch Mark May & Craig James in the mouth so we do not have to hear them spew shit!
- pay some one at ESPN to say “Dumbass” & give the Red Foreman look every time Mark May & Craig James speak.
- try not to say he pulled a “Brotzman” every time a player makes a mistake on any team.
- try not to second guess some of Harsin’s play calling. God I hate the WR bubble screen. Can we throw a fake off of it?
- Don’t miss opportunities. I could have gotten a picture with Heather Cox & Billy Winn at the VT game and decided not to – how stupid was that?
- sabotage the rental car of the PAC 10 refs for any BSU game they assigned to.
Resolutions
1. Enjoy KM’s final season as a Bronco
2. Read Death to the BCS
3. Change my name since my dad is now retired from BSU :)
4. Develop my own computer ranking system that actually makes sense (not gonna happen (the makes sense part), but should be fun to try)
5. Better predict the BCS computer rankings
6. Stop having reoccuring nightmares of Titus’ drop, Burroughs’ drop, and both missed field goals

Mine
1. Go to at least one tailgate (still kicking myself for missing the VT game one).
2. Meet more OBNUGgers. Munson is high on the list.
3. Change my game seats to a fun section. Too much turmoil in the current one. Suggestions welcome!?!

We could have our own reality show. Instead of "Jersey Shore", try "Section 5"
Our section gets a lot of visits by the yellow vests. Some of our fans don’t play well together. Sitters vs. Standers, Noisemakers vs. Bluehairs. New fans vs. old fans. Me vs.the guy behind me :-/
