he spelled Coach Pete’s name right.

do have to give him props on that.

BUT WAIT. The detailed benefits are not just your average dollars-under-the-table, or some lameass "we let some players sleep at an apartment on the floor with a coach's help" allegations. No, you get the hell out of here, Boise.

that's what I was thinking.

the players will be more than aware of this. and last time this happened, it didn’t end up too well for that player or his team.

You guys are priceless...

Seems like every player coach and watergirl associated with your team is the greatest in the entire sport. People would take you a lot more seriously if you had at least a slippery grip on reality. There are a lot of teams out there with a lot of talented coaches and players. I guess you are pretty insulated out in Boise, but you do get cable TV right?!?

Not greatest individual players.

We know that. But greatest team? Heck yes!

well...

When you have a coach that is the ONLY 2 time winner of the Bear Bryant award.. and with a 61-5 coaching record, not to mention a 5-1 record against your ‘superior’ Big 6 conference teams … As well as being the coach that pushed Boise State into becoming a football powerhouse.. Yeah I think Boise State has a pretty good football coach..

Why so serious?

This is just Brandon having fun. These guys have been working their tails off for the last several months in anticipation for this week. Lets not get all bent out of shape. I would expect these statements from boise fans, but c’mon Dawg!

To be honest, it’s probably pretty sound advice. He is a Monster.

It’s locker room material, for sure, but it’s GAME WEEK!!!

there is

 a reason why Coach Pete bans players from using twitter during the season, it is to prevent his players from saying things they shouldn’t.

Yeah I agree

Not sure why he did this hopefully he’ll have a long conditioning session with Coach T for this… It’s basic common sense that no matter who your opponent is never EVER give any reason for more motivation well, it’s out there now he’s gotta own it

It would be interesting, if he can back it up. Neon Deion with FSU, Falcons, etc.

Boykin

definitely has the talent to back it up, I personally am on the side of letting the play on the field do the talking …but I can see the gamesmanship in what he`s doing.

For what it's worth

I’m still thinking it’s a hacker (well, hoping). And if it isn’t well at least hes trash talking politely to ya’lls Coach. Lol damn I can’t believe this.

I agree

I think this is more along the lines of friendly competitiveness. When I read it I don’t see anger, hatred, or disrespect. I see smiles, laughing, and general horseplay amongst the boys.

That said, it WILL be twisted and used as locker room propaganda I’m sure. I believe, as good natured as the comment probably is, that this constitutes the first shot across the bow.

Agreed

He tweeted less than an hour later that he did not mean any disrespect and that he was just excited for the game. Also, that he didn’t say anything classless, and that his team needed some swagger. This might be a special teams coach endorsed tweet because Richt regulates this stuff quite a bit.

by WindyCityDawg on Aug 28, 2011 9:43 AM PDT up reply actions  

I agree.

Not classless – just pregame hype. I actually love it. Wouldn’t be football without it. Nothing distasteful – just a guy who’s ready to play. It’s motivation for you guys, it’s motivation for our guys. Let’s go.

This is a non-story

I’m not sure why you guys think this is great locker room fodder, but this seems to all be in good fun. I even like how he included his special team teammates in the tweet. I’m sure the guy cannot wait to get the ball in his hands and he’s hoping it’s kicked to him. I love it.

by WindyCityDawg on Aug 28, 2011 9:37 AM PDT reply actions  

I like it.

After a whole off-season of Boise State being in good graces from the mouths of Georgia players, I think it’s time for players to turn up the heat for Saturday’s game. I don’t think it’s trash talk, either, I think he’s really pumped to be getting the ball and doing something with it, no matter the opponent.

It's not great Locker Room material at all.

But both teams are going to be looking for anything to amp them up even more and give them all the more reason to execute plays w/ extreme prejudice.

I used to think this game would have some real scuffles in it before it was through but the more I consider the head coaches the more I think it will be highly competitive but well played as well (similar to our game against VT last year).

Still, anything at all that can be used for motivation, even if taken out of context, will probably be used. And that goes for both sides.

At any rate, Boykin’s tweet is not even int he same galaxy as the Utah player’s pregame tweet last year about “Girlsie State”. I believe that dude was held to zero catches lol.

He is UGA’s all time leader in career kickoff return yards with 1,813 and is the only player in SEC history to have three 100-yard plays of any kind. He averages 25.2 yards per return.

by Red Blackman on Aug 28, 2011 12:16 PM PDT reply actions  

Yeah, I definitely think he has the goods to deliver.

and word on the street is that our coverage teams are shaky at best which is probably what led him to the tweet after doing some film study.

That’s why I say that, despite the good natured ribbing, it will probably be used as extra motivation and a challenge to rise to.

That said, it might not matter how hard of an effort is put forth to cover this guy. He’s flat out great at what he does.

Brandon is a great player.

If I was Brandon Boykin, I might be that confident and slightly arrogant as well. He is probably spilling over with
anticipation to show these Broncos an SEC butt whoopin’.
But I think his tweet won’t affect anyone more than himself. Boise State thrives on discipline and letting go of distractions. Lessons have been learned. (Picturing Hout privately reading up on Blount’s pre-loss arrogance and having it end badly.)

And Furthermore, Boise State isn’t David anymore, but a leaner Goliath. They are much stronger than the Zabransky led team of Fiesta bowl magic. They are a Texas/California (Netherlands, coincidentally) talent machine and they have possession of the Kellen Moore android 2011.
Both teams being so close in excellence, the team with a Kellen Moore wins. Its simple math.

This is going to be a hell of a game.

The original Bronco Four Horsemen, who helped Boise State win the 1-AA National Championship in 1980. A fearsome foursome, with a thrilling last-second victory over Eastern Kentucky. I almost lost my voice, screaming in the family room after the game. You can bet the spirit of these guys will be riding with the 2011 Broncos! Who says Boise doesn’t have tradition? Ghost Horse!

This young man

may be throwing out some good smack talk and fodder for motivation but, as Dizzy Dean once said, “It ain’t braggin’ if you can back it up”. I would venture to say Mr. Boykin can back it up.

That being said, I doubt the ’Dawgs special teams, as good as they may be, can carry both their offense and defense as well. Therefore, BSU still wins. Go Broncos!

Wish he hadn't said anything.

Swagger is earned, and, while Boykin is as effecitve a KR as anybody right now, we don’t have much to brag about. Besides, KR is hit-or-miss: even the worst covering team still tackles most runners.

However, if there is anybody I want you guys to be worried about, it’s a CB/KR. Please focus on him.
