PrintHappy Thursday, everyone we're on Nike uniform watch today along with our recurring churro machine watch.
Boise State car to race in Atlanta on September 3rd (HT: BSUbluNorange)
This story has been in the fan shots since yesterday, but I didn't pay too much attention to it since it is just NASCAR. But then our own SB Nation Atlanta had to go and say it was a terrible idea to have a Boise State car in Atlanta on the same night as the Boise State vs. Georgia game. Then Dawg Sports had to go and pull the "our track in our state in our sport" crap (all tongue in cheek, I might add). Now I'm feeling pretty steamed. It is on!
Cowboys give Orlando Scandrick 5 year, $26.2 million dollar extension ($10.y mil guaranteed)
Great news for the former Bronco and 5th round draft pick. Maybe he can finallyclaim Boise State during MNF games?
Georgia beats "Boise State" scout team in practice (HT: Lestermeister)
Sounds like it was quite close. I would make a quip about Georgia barely beating their own scout team, but you need to recognize how deep these ESSEEESEE teams are and that the scout team would probably start for any team in the MWC. Just remember that, folks.
Boise State has announced color schemes for the entire year
This is getting serious. I can't believe the whole year is already mapped out.
Join me after the jump for some more links
Andrea Adelson writes a Boise State preview (HT: Freshbreff)
The senior class has the opportunity to set the school record for the class with the best record.
Bodog pretty much convinced that Boise State will win the MWC this year
The 2/7 odds are pretty remarkable. That pretty much guarantees action on any other MWC team.
Nate Potter named a candidate Lowe's Senior CLASS Award
That means he has excelled in community, classroom, character and competition.
Although it includes the obligatory comment about his arm not being NFL caliber. Oh well.

That scout team
was spotted a 31 point lead. That’s about twice the lead that VT spotted us last year.
Smurfing your turf
and it was only 2 quarters of play, second half
There were a ton of sacks and interceptions to score 38, so I don’t think you all need to worry about that practice. The comments in the article are fun to read. You all should troll it – easy to post with no sign up stuff.
Get the Dawg nation going. :-)
Scout Team's O-Line was CRAPPPPY
Posted about it in the fanshot, Richt’s comment

Two Pick sixes by Boykin, The offense didn't win that "game" for them.
Kellen Moore has an allergy for pick sixes.
In other words, Boise could wear pink-on-pink and still beat you in Bronco Stadium by 30 points. The Broncos could wear pink-on-pink with ankle weights and beat you 14 points. - Paul Myerberg, Pre Snap Read
Ah yes, good old anonymous comments.

I particularly liked the special mention of the 'Bronco' qb ...
They had Mikey Tamburo run the offense for the scout team … he may be a lefty, but he is definitely NOT Kellen Moore!!

OOOOOH! SCARY!!!
Scout team…that’s just silly!

Yeah whats up with Scandrick repping his HS over BSU??
Can you send him a formal inquiry on this matter on OBNUG stationary? As a Cowboy fan this has bugged me!
Wow, I never heard about the Scandrick thing.....
My wife asked me to choose between BSU and the NFL and it wasn’t even close…I don’t watch pro-football until the postseason, other than in commercial break incriments. Unless he just felt some kind of special need to promote his HS, he shouldn’t diss the school that made him into NFL talent anyway…kind of a bw move.
Just read into Guerrero's Tweet OBNUG linked
Ryan Clady and Alex go back in forth making it look like Scandrick was pretty bent out of shape with coaches when he left early.
Noticed Clady had tweeted about wanted to come back to get out to the BSU GA game for revenge, haha love that guy

Jeremy Childs
Is Scandrick’s cousin, my understanding is he is angry over what went down with Childs and the coaches.

Blood is thicker than pigskin
You cannot reason a man out of something he didn't reason himself into in the first place.
Being a newby to OBNUG, I don't recall hearing about this
I know Childs left school early to make his millions in the NFL only to go undrafted and no free agency calls. Was there more to the story?

Fun stuff.
They both have a cousin on twitter that will seek out arguments that the Boise coaches talked down Scandrick and Childs so that NFL talent wouldn’t draft/sign them. Eventually, Gerald Alexander and other fans like us just decided it was like trying to talk to a brick wall.

Downtalking one of their own is most definitely NOT in Coach Pete's DNA
He wants nothing more than to see his young men succeed in life, even if the personal connection was not as strong as desired. When his men succeed, it makes him feel proud.

The Boise State athletic offices need to start releasing color schemes for away games too.
In other words, Boise could wear pink-on-pink and still beat you in Bronco Stadium by 30 points. The Broncos could wear pink-on-pink with ankle weights and beat you 14 points. - Paul Myerberg, Pre Snap Read
Like Ragu, it's in there
9/3: Georgia = Blue
9/17: Toledo = Orange
10/7: Fresno State = Blue
10/15 Colorado State = Orange
11/5: UNLV = Blue
11/19: San Diego State = Blue
Or are you looking for more of an orange/blue mix?
How about color schemes for watching games in our homes?

I know Brian's dad; hsi dad and mine were with Albertson's in the day-his was CEO, mine General Counsel.
Must say the car beats my Strat all to hell.
tvmunson
What timeframe was that?
My dad worked in the store development dept.
by NYBroncosFan on Aug 25, 2011 7:47 AM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
My dad was Senior Veep/General Counsel 1968-1975; Joe's dad J. L. "Scotty" was CEO
durign that period then left in late 70’s to be CEO of A & P. If your dad worked there then he was probably working more with Paul Mouser, also a senior veep and attorney who did the real estate stuff. I went to school with Joe (he was a year behind me) but I guess I shouldn’t have said I know him-we were acquianted,
tvmunson
Don't see where Freshbreff postedt the ESPN preview - I did two fan shots on it yesterday --
and I searched by him in other communities and also searched on his profile. SO unless it was somehow deleted, I believe I deserve the credit for that.
Likewise – since Tim Booth is the AP reporter, not a Yahoo/Rival’s reporter, and SI/CNN reprints AP stuff (as a member and participant in the AP pool, unlike Yahoo which is just a subscriber), the credit for the Tim Booth piece on Moore should go to NYBroncoFans who linked to it yesterday as well.

Hey you're better at this than me
Can you please post a picture or gif of a little kid getting patted on the head as a reply to your post?

Just checking to make sure there's no Ohio State patch on butt like Vandals got a couple years ago.
tvmunson
Nope.
Just a tattoo.

Well, I'll just start doing that instead -- but if he could email it to you all then he certainly could
post it here, no? Isn’t that the point of the HTs?

One more hour!
Where will they be released? The Nike site?

Nike Facebook page, I believe

You all are 1 up on us. The uniforms look great.
I am trying not to be an energy vampire about ours. I am more interested in what will happen when the ball is snapped.
I really want to see the mythical white helmet!
by NYBroncosFan on Aug 25, 2011 8:43 AM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
I always liked that logo, but the marketing people we hired wanted to get away from "BSU" in favor
of “Boise State”, our trademark. BTW this helmet color looks off; I remember it more navy, near black, like the Chicago Bears.
tvmunson
Wrong anatomy reference
“Then Dawg Sports had to go and pull the “our track in our state in our sport” crap (all tongue in cheek, I might add). "
More like head in (elsewhere). Georgia fans deserve their reputation. Except for you, JaxDawg.
How does Boise keep getting these sweet deals?
Last year we had a Make-a-wish foundation participant want to be a coach at BSU. Now BSU gets its own race car for a day.
I could see these things happening at Alabama or even Georgia with their coveted tradition, but not at lowly BSU.
