Wake up, Bronco Nation: Boise State football links and things, 11-9-11

PrintGary Patterson understands that Boise State will try to run up the score
At least that's how I took his comments during his Tuesday media conference call. He did say what everyone knows but what few rarely verbalize, Boise State needs to beat TCU soundly to improve their position in the polls. So, if Kellen Moore throws his 6th TD during the last 2 minutes to push the lead to 40 points, we're all cool, right?
Our acquaintances at Spit Blood have proposed a tongue in cheek boycott of potatoes this week
It's an interesting tactic to send a message to Idaho's economy that TCU fans don't like Boise State, but I just suspect that TCU fans really just want an easier work week and not to have to drop as many baskets of fries. Nice try though!
Adam James would like you to get a chance to know the real Adam James
In his first interview since his dad orchestrated the firing of Mike Leach, Adam James would like you to know that your words don't hurt him. Adam, I'm sure you will have a very privileged life living off the money that ESPN continues to pay your dad for some reason we're all not aware of.
Timeline of events at Penn State
This is a very well written piece detailing the timeline and the allegations that led up to Sandusky's eventual arrest. Also, Michael Weinreb grew up in State College, PA and is especially rocked by the allegations and puts it into perspective. Those are two great pieces to read up on as the ongoing saga and the calls for Joe Paterno to step down continue on.
Boise State rolled to a 93-47 win Tuesday night. Boise State opens their season officially on Friday against Colorado Christian.

We've quietly been bad at home this year......
I’m just hoping for a win period this weekend.
And screw Spit Blood! Looks like I won’t be eating any frog legs this week.

Tulsa got whipped in Bronco Stadium for more than 3 quarters and only put up points in garbage time?

And Tulsa
Whooped SMU, the team that handed TCU their 2nd loss. I don’t see any way the Broncos come out flat for this game, they will be pumped and ready to go.
Down the middle, James...the lateral...to the corner of the endzone! Can you believe that!?!
You realize if my computer gets ruined, I can't read OBNUG, right?
Nicely done. I nearly showered my computer with coffee at the “baskets of fries” comment.

I had the exact same problem
One of the best pieces I have ever read!
"Hopefully we weren’t winning all these games at home because people couldn’t see our receivers. Somehow I found them." ~ Kellen Moore
Me, too
But it was vodka.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You cannot reason a man out of something he didn't reason himself into in the first place.

BSU at Rutgers or UConn? I am SO there.

I think the 1's may play most of the game but I don't expect to see a blowout.
TCU isn’t very good on pass defense, and I expect Kellen to be himself. but I do think they will come to play. My hope is that our defense can put the boots to them, emphatically.

Podcast With Spit Blood
Nick, you should contact Spit Blood for the podcast this week. They are trying to contact blueturfnation.com to no avail; I think it would be great to hear some competition this week in the podcast! (not to say that they aren’t enjoyable already, especially when you got Tadman).
Better to have play a mid-level schedule and potentially be the best team in the nation, than to play and lose on a hard schedule and remove all doubt.
Drew's in charge of the podcast so I'll let him know
I’m not sure if he already has something lined up or not.
Love it!!

Did Ben Findley dissapear..
..after they lost to Baylor? They guy had so much of an ego I thought he was a BYU fan.

Hurray!
I was hoping he didn’t abandon his team for it’s failures.

Basketball Game
I was at the game last night (along with about five other people…c’mon, fans! I know it was just an exhibition, but the place was empty!). I know it was the first game of the season (and didn’t even truly count as a game, since it was exhibition), but they were a bit sloppy…rebounding appeared to have improved, though.
Can you help me with this?
Kevin & Nick, I’ve been a Bronco fan for the last 10 years living in So Cal. I’ve just moved to Kuna and I have a question. Who or what is Dave Tester and what is his problem? Seems to this Newbie that he’s one big Moscow Pimp.
I'm not Kevan or Nick or Drew but, if I may...

That’s good, right?] Who or what is Dave Tester and what is his problem? [Tester is sportsdude with an indestructible self-regard and a giant head. No, seriously. Dude’s head should have, like, planets orbiting around it. It’s that big.] Seems to this Newbie that he’s one big Moscow Pimp. [Very perceptive of you. He’s a big—there’s that word again—dUI homer. Odd, huh? For a sportsdude, you’d think he’d have a passing knowledge of…sports]

I'm in Nashville
So I don’t get much of Dave Tester on a day to day basis. My memories of him are from his run in with Claudia Weatherman.
Yep, "his run in" led to their nuptials
She was reasonably hot in her day. The attraction to Testicle was/is baffling.

She should have married Scott Dorval
I don't believe in dibs, or love at first sight, or love, or best friends, or doing things.
She must be honoring the old adage
If you crap bigger than the guy, don’t marry him.

Tester is dUI's concubine.
Nuff said.

Thanks kcam
We have those kind of “guys” in So Cal too. the worst are Jim Hill (MR Homer )and the"loose cannon “Steve Hartman, and Vick The Brick”,who by the way are on before Testor. Talk about clown show radio. Nick thanks , wow your in Vandy Land?
And their QB looks promising, as well, right?
He’s got the bloodlines.

Yeah, he does
Maybe in a few years they’ll be able to perform some upsets, get College Gameday to come back and I can break out my Boise State sign and attend again
TCU Boycott!
Nobody by arm bands or belts!

TCU BOYCOTT!
Everyone, stop buying belts and armbands so those businesses fail! It will throw Pants Patterson and Tank Carder into a funk. Tank will have to ration his armbands to 4 per game.
