20 things to watch at Boise State's scrimmage

PrintFirst things first: Here are the Boise State scrimmage details for those iPhone calendar apps of yours:
- When: Saturday, 7:00 p.m.
- Where: Bronco Stadium
- How much: FREE
- Printable roster: You betcha!
This will be the first and only time that the general public gets to see the team practice before the Georgia game. The Broncos have yet to release info on how the scrimmage will be scored, who will be out injured, and how many varieties of nachos will be available.
Check your OBNUG computers after the scrimmage for a recap. Here are just a few of the things that I'm looking forward to.
- Kicking Battle Royale. Van Ginkel vs. Goodale for field goal supremacy. Elkin vs. Harman for punting birthright. Tee-retrieving dog vs. tee-retrieving OBNUG Intern for tee duties.
- True freshmen (listed in order of personal affection): Jay Ajayi (No. 27), Blake Renaud (No. 13), Jeff Worthy (No. 98), Corey Bell (No. 38), Lee Hightower (No. 29), Darian Thompson (No. 35), and Dallas Burroughs (No. 82)
- Injuries: Is anyone standing on the sideline wearing a body cast? How about an air boot? I can be equally freaked out about both
- Kellen Moore-to-Matt Miller
- Kellen Moore-to-anyone, really
- Two words: referee shorts
- Boise State's deep defensive line. The Broncos need a fifth DE and a fifth DT, and I imagine tomorrow's scrimmage will have a lot to say about who those people are.
- The "Boise!" "State!" cheer happening for no apparent reason
- Jeremy Ioane. Rumor has it he scrimmages a lot better than he practices, so this could get interesting for some poor, defenseless receivers.
- Tyler Horn. He may be BSU's fourth defensive end this fall, and I couldn't pick him out of my own family photo. Is he good? Is he big? Is that a tail?
- Wide receivers. In the last scrimmage, the WRs struggled with drops. Expect some fairweather fans to have some boos ready if we have a repeat.
- The Idaho Powerball mascot
- Doug Martin. That is all.
- Speculation should Boise State rest some starters, as it typically does, due to nothing more than whimsy but that we crazy fans (me) take to mean questionable injury status for the Georgia game
- Gadget plays
- Malcolm Johnson. It's been a long time coming, but this might finally be the time when we fans see Johnson at at full strength.
- Touchdowns? Will the Boise State defense allow any? Will the Boise State offense earn any?
- Cedric Febis at strong safety
- Chuck Hayes and Jake Broyles (and maybe Brenel Myers) at guard
- The inevitable Gene Bleymaier chant. Brace yourselves. Things might get emotional.
One thing I'm not looking forward to ...
- The Wave
It is my mortal enemy.

Ditto
Only I’m not really stuck, although I am technically near Virginia at the moment….
I'd rather be surfing.

Sadly
It’s not being taped. We don’t want UGA seeing it.

I'm also stuck in Virginia; will the scrimmage be on the radio??

Yes it will be.
Bob Behler and Pete Cavender will broadcast live from the scrimmage on KBOI and KKGL. A pregame show with Paul J. Schneider, Jeff Caves and Dave Harbison will begin at 5 p.m.

Malcolm J
I’d say limit him in the scrimmage but give him some carries against UGA. They’ll have no tape of him and won’t know what to expect. Remember the damage Thomas did when Oregon burned his redshirt in the game at Autzen?
I think it did burn his Redshirt year.

He did not
He was on the roster, but was declared academically ineligible for much of the season. I don’t think he saw the field at all actually. If he did, it wasn’t at RB.
What are you looking forward to
ALl the feed back from you lucky souls that get to attend.
it's not that you are stupid, it's just that you don't suspect!
Nothing is good nor bad until compared to something else.
Malcomb or Malcom?
I’ve seen it spelled both ways, or is it just a Scott Slant slang?
I believe it's Malcolm
per his Broncosports page

I'm looking forward to...
the Michael Atkinson vs Ricky TAT Churro eating contest. I’ve heard they can down about 40 Costco ones a piece. Here is my list:
1. Kicking Game
2. Running Game – in this order DJ Harper, Jay Ajayi, Malcolm Johnson (I all ready know what Doug can do)
3. Kick Returners – who will they be?
4. 10,000+ fans – Could we have 20K show up?
5. Matt Miller

This may be cheesy
But I’m looking forward to seeing the kids that I went to high school with. Especially #86 Kyle Sosnowski. I bet in the coming years he will be one of the impact players for Boise State.
socially acceptable
I say that because I know what you mean. Goodale for kicker all the way!

Poet???
You can’t rhyme it with it…. You’re no more a poet than Rebecca Black is a singer.
"-Insert quote by famous dead guy here-"
by Yamani_luvbsu on Aug 19, 2011 11:22 AM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
I was rhyming "is" with "miss", an alliterative intra-line poetic device,
sort of like:
“Everywhere I hear the sound of marching charging feet boy
C’zu summer’s here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy” (“Street Fighting Man” Glimmer Twins @ 1968)
In the Stones song, boy is the final line in the stanza, but the rhyme precedes it, an oft used conceit in rock and other musical idioms, somewhat of a mnemonic vehicle, intensifying the emotional delivery of the song.
I do not know who Rebecca Black is, so your insult, if it is one, leaves me unaffected.

Well out of all the days of the week this would be the best day for you to find out
Being on Obnug is so fun, fun, fun, fun

I can't believe I just rec'd a Rebecca Black reference.

I can't wait to see DJ Harper
I wounder if Coach Pete will pull him out of the game early with a “injury”… Maybe a torn ACL?
I can't wait to see the recap and the notes
because I live in CA. :(
Deatils, Intern! Details!
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
Details*

Picking sides at the scrimmage?
via Oppie’s Twitter feed:
GoodBadOppie #bsufootball scrimmage Sat. at 7p. Fans will get either Off or Def-colored roster. coaches want fans to cheer for the roster they get.
Oppie will be cheering for two point conversions.
"...east and west is the problem, north and south the solution."
Are they really hanging out colored rosters?
Or is this just a ridculously flippin awesome idea?
by BSUbluNorange on Aug 19, 2011 12:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Wow it is true!
Thanks to OBNUG INtern for the fanshot
by BSUbluNorange on Aug 19, 2011 12:26 PM PDT up reply actions
I predict
The obnugintern gets a full time, full benefits, under mininum wage position with the other high paid obnuggers…..
We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown

What Happened -
to the poorly written and factually incorrect Boise vs. Georgia preview? That was a wonderful piece of sports writing? It seems to have disappeared?
Thanks and God Bless you all, each and every one.
