PrintCoach Pete laid the banhammer on Boise State defensive tackle J.P. Nisby yesterday, sending the senior home for good after a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from a bar fight. Do you feel vindicated now, Sports Illustrated? I hope you're happy.
With Nisby gone, the Broncos will be without one of their biggest and best D-line backups. So where does that leave them? Are there enough other big-boned people with chips on their shoulders to carry the load? Find out what the depth chart looks like after the jump.
A brief recap of J.P. Nisby's career
2007: Nisby joined the Broncos as a giant defensive tackle prospect who had trouble making it through an entire practice without hurling. His conditioning would improve.
2008: Fell asleep and aged 40 years, kinda like Rip Van Winkle.
2009: Played sparingly in 10 games.
2010: Saw significant time on the second-team defensive line and recorded three sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss. Earned the nickname Old Man Nisby from OBNUG readers who thought he looked like a grandpa.
2011: Was hanging out at a bar when he spied a man with whom he was having an ongoing dispute, someone started playing Rebecca Black's "Friday," people became enraged, one thing led to another, and before you knew it, Nisby had his nemesis in a chokehold. Charges were filed. Nisby was dismissed from the team.
Boise State's defensive tackle depth chart
Nisby was expected to compete with Michael Atkinson and Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe for playing time on the second team defensive line. When Atkinson was suspended last year, Nisby filled in admirably, and he would have seen plenty of time this fall, too. Not any more. Updated depth charts look like this:
- Billy Winn
- Chase Baker
- Michael Atkinson
- Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe
- Greg Grimes
- Darren Koontz
- Justin Jungblut
- David Cushing
Incoming true freshmen:
- Jeff Worthy
- Robert Ash
Observations:
The Broncos can still rotate in a complete backup defensive line with Atkinson and Tjong-A-Tjoe anchoring the second team ... Grimes has played well in spot duty over the past couple of seasons ... While it remains unlikely, the odds definitely increased of seeing one of the true freshman tackles play right away ... I will feel a lot better if Atkinson makes it through an entire season without being suspended ...
Your turn
How do you think Nisby's departure will impact the Broncos? Are you happy with the depth on the D-line? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Stupid Kid
If Idaho State had the same policy a few years ago, Jared Allen would not be playing in the NFL right now. That dude was in a bar fight every weekend. JUST STAY OUT OF BARS, YOU OXYGEN BANDITS!
Sucks that this has happened...
What on earth are these kids thinking?
On a side note…I posted a link to KTVB about this very subject in the fanshots earlier today (my time here in Germany) and it’s disappeared…like as in even from my account history. Anyone know what’s up with that???

There were a couple other FanShots about that, too. But I appreciate the effort!

I had never heard that song before now.
And I would have been just fine with never hearing it in my life. Thanks!
That song...
A- I have no idea how anybody found out about that song, and I don’t want to know
2- I can’t believe I lasted 1 minute into that video
D- It is now stuck in my head…front seat, back seat

Here is the wiki link and will tell you all about it. That song makes me want to hurt people as well.
Sad to see him go. But the D-line is one of the spots we do have good depth at so I’m not to worried.

Only one minute?!?!
That means you missed the interlude where a dude twice Rebecca Black’s age starts rapping.
No, seriously, that happens.
Making modern life a little worse one coverage opinion at a time.
Two observations
1. I love that the song taught me the order of weekdays.
2. The guy rapping…pretty sure that was Michael Strahan.

One observation: I have lived long enough.
As one who has remained comfortably ensconced in the 70s, and who only recently made the briefest sojourn to the 21st century,and who can only type this here because bevy of youngsters stands ready to assist me, I had only the vaguest idea what this “Friday” video (is that what it is? Is there a new term? Is MTV still on?) was. In fact, it was the night before that a snippet of this was played on a cable show, to what point or purpose, I do not know. I hadn’t seen it in iis entirety; until now. DIGRESSION: In my day there were what we called “record companies”. A primary function was to find, develope, and promote “talent”. A generally salutary byproduct (not entirely-some good stuff goe left out) was that singularly UNTALENTED individuals were unceremoniously dispatched to a deserving anonymity, usually fast food careers. It was not possible for them to infect the public discourse with their puerile pre-pubescent insipid toneless ball-less (I am referring to her intent, not her gender, although in her case androgyny would be an improvement) ahem, excuse the break-this is too good to breakup- her insipid ball-less whining under some pretext that this is a democratically inspired effort to promote the “common man” (again with the androgyny). I now see the future, which will have much more of THIS (even my fertile, fervid imagination cannot dream up a word for it, may God Himself strike me dead if I called it music) which even if were only to contain the smallest drop of THIS in an entire ocean of material/information- I want no part of it. I have drawn the necessary conclusions: I shall now purchase a large hadngun (“if it aint got a ‘4’, dont put it in the drawer”) and end my pitiful saga, consoling myself that my dignity is yet untarnished as I have chosen to leave a world where such banal tripe is so immodestly glorified . Goodbye, and good luck-from what I can tell you will need every bit you can get.

It's just the technology changes, yo.
As a 13 year old girl, I recorded HOURS of terrible singing on to cassette tapes. Her technology is better – she’s got autotune, youtube, and HD video cameras.

Thanks for the warning
I must have stopped it before the rap section kicked in also, but now that I know it is there I definitely will not be clicking the play button again.

If there was talent on display in that video, I did not recognize it. I must be going deaf and blind.

Worst. Post. Ever.
I stopped reading when I saw the top of the Friday song…
Someday I hope to look in a mirror and see something special... something like a coach pete protoge'.
My wife played that Friday song....
I got a divorce, our neighborhood began rioting and I went to a bar and choked 3 people out. Ok, it was one person. Ok, I got choked out…but still.

RE: Friday
This version makes it all better…
Friday FTW

Bar fights
If Wazzu had the same policy about Bar fights then Ryan Leaf would have been tossed in a hurry. Alot of teachers from my high school were going to Wazzu when Leaf was there and they said that every bartender in the Pullman-Moscow area hated Leaf because he would start fights every time he went out. Granted, he was 6-5, so he had a decent time handling himself…. but I heard he was quite the tool. Good for Coach Pete. I am sure he did what was best for Nisby, and best for the program

When Robinson hit that guy, who the next day went to hospital and found out his jaw was broken, and went WTF?
I’ve seen 2 guys get their jaw broke with a punch-both were unconscious, (bw0 their pants, and were hospitalized. Nisby choked this guy? What , with his pinkies? Nisby goes 300+ lbs, darn near solid muscle, his arms are bigger than my legs (I’ve jogged for 31 years, have ok quads). If he had seriously done that, the guy wouldnt have waited to file charges-his next of kin would have.

A friend of mine
was a bartender in Coure d’alene when Leaf walked in one day (after his NFL career had tanked). Sure enough he was a dick to everyone in the bar until a guy six inches shorter than him got in his face and told him he was going to kick the crap out of him. Leaf backed down and left.
I think I had a friend in the same bar.
He said Leaf was walking around Saying “I can buy you, and I can buy You” and pointing at the them. What a BW….

We were at 3 deep in the interior line; now, not so much.
I’ll go home and re-watch Koontz taking on 3 TCU O-lineman on their penultimate (got it in!) drive and be comforted. But I like Beefeaters in the interior-“if he aint got a ‘3’, go take a knee”.

Kevan
you are a terrible human being for adding to that abortion of a songs view count. But your use of it made me laugh hard enough that I spilled the water I was drinking out of my mouth on to my keyboard. So gold star for you.
I can't believe I sat and listened to that whole song...
Is something wrong with me? Do I miss football that bad? I was so disgusted with myself that I walked next door and choked out my neighbors dog… of course, I had been having an ongoing dispute with the stupid mut… he has been barking for two years!
