The Mikrino Poll:The one where we care more about the players than the game. A tribute in color.

Welcome to the final Mikrino Poll of the regular season. And the next to final poll where I get to proclaim that Kellen Moore, Doug Martin, and the rest of the seniors will put up ungodly numbers on some toothless opponent. This week we treat New Mexico like New Mexico State and completely dismiss them. Seriously, just think of those teams as if they didn't have New in their names. And know you why they suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch.
To all the seniors this year, thank you for years of wonderful, selfless team football. I'm proud to be a Boise State Bronco. We all wish you well in your lives beyond school and football, wherever that may lead. Please come back often. Oh, and beat the pants off New Mexico this Saturday! Here's to you...

Ah, what a fabulous group of young men
They’ll go down among the greats in Bronco history, along with teams such as the 1958 and the 1980 National Champions. Someday, long after I’m gone, one of you students will write a history post for OBNUG, telling the kids of 2061 what it was like during these glory days.
Of course, OBNUG, as the nation’s premiere sports news organization (occupying 57 of the 3,500 channels available on the information microchip imbedded behind everyone’s ear at birth) will report on the (yawn) 23rd consecutive world football championship won by the Broncos. Even the southern campus of Boise State University, located in Athens, Georgia, will declare a holiday.
Seriously, seniors, it has been such a delight to watch your prowess on the gridiron. Some of you will go on to the NFL, some to coaching, some to other careers. But you will always draw from your experiences on the Blue, the lessons taught by the coaches, and the bonds you created with your teammates, and those will sustain you throughout life.
Well done, men, and thank you for a tremendous ride! We love you guys.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they, too, have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.
Ring of honor...
Aliotti, Minter, Hughes, Zahner, Rade, Koch, von Oelhoffen, Forsey, Hall, Colledge, Clady… every one of the boys in these pictures fits on this list.
It’s ALMOST an embarrassment of riches.
30 years from now when I plug my forehead into Skynet, I’m gonna say “I was there when…”
I just wish
… we had a cool nickname for them all like “The Four Horsemen.”

I need some epic with this fail.
The B-Men
and good men in every sense of the word. I hope everyone has a great career and if football is not that career, that they continue to make a positive difference in the lives of those around them, as they have their school, their classmates, their fans…and indeed, a nation where that kind of thing, especially from such a large group, is rare.
Well done Mikrino – pics of the ages.
Well said Mikrino.
Rec to you.
Kickers...whatya gonna do.
