PrintFootball is over. Long live football.
The Boise State football offseason is in full swing, which is to say there is really no offseason. Bronco news and information never sleeps, and neither does the OBNUG content machine. Here are the highlights of what's to come over the next eight months. Plan your lives accordingly.
- January 21 - East/West Shrine Game
- January 28 - Senior Bowl
- February 1 - National Signing Day
- February 22-28 - NFL combine
- March TBD - Spring practice starts
- March TBD - Boise State pro day
- April TBD - Spring game
- April 26-28 - NFL Draft
- July TBD - Mountain West media days
- August TBD - Fall practice starts
- August 31 - Boise State @ Michigan State
OBNUG will be on the scene with coverage of all this as well as coverage of things you might not think even needed covered (punter position battle, anyone?). If you have ideas for content or stories that you would like to see or features you would like us to develop, let us know by email or in the comments. We aim to please. The offseason is much more pleasant with you all around.

It would be cool
To see a recap of the last recruiting class. Maybe have just brief bio info of each of the players, if they played this last season, or where they could fill in this coming season. I was really excited for this class, but obviously the majority of them red shirted so we never saw them on the field.
It also might be cool, post-signing day, to speculate on the new incoming players, like who might start as a true freshman etc. I’m sure there will be a write up like this after, I’m just soooooo excited lol

on the recruiting note
perhaps another recap or primer on recruiting rules for us fans. Like following on twitter and the like.
Remember: until they sign the LOI, even following on twitter is a violation, even if you never talk to them.
My QB has an AWARD named after him. How about yours?!

East/West Shrine Game is at 4:00 Eastern on NFL Network this Saturday
Shoe and Tyrone Crawford will be playing…first practice is today.
Can you install a big countdown till kickoff in East Lansing...
on the OBNUG home page?
My favortie memories of college is being up in the student section, taking off my left shoe, and holding it up in the air whenever #89 made a catch.

I am totaly stoked about the up coming season
There will be a lot of changes and it will be interesting to watch the progression throughout the year.
I would like to see you guys put your journalistic skills to good use
and coordinate something like a mini media bonanza once Spring Practice is done. I’m talking Caves and Prater, the OBNUG Podcast team, insightful interview questions for a guest host like Marty Tadman, a dual written interview with Tadman where you guys ask him about what he thinks this year will look like and he does the same and we each post links on the respective blogs, maybe a phone call to Titus Young, Winston Venable, or Austin Pettis and ask how their BSU experience helped prepare them for the NFL and what they think about BSU’s upcoming season (if they’ve had time to keep up ofc).
This could be an exposure thing so there’s incentive for all involved. TY’s phone call on air (which he would have been given 2 weeks and a general idea of the questions to prepare for) might take 3-5 minutes for example but it gets him local exposure which can build his image which helps lead to potential commercial contracts. Interview Chad Cripe over the phone, get a KTSY breakdown. Sky’s the limit.
I’m just spitballing but I think there’s an awful lot to be excited about with this program and a ton of material and storylines. Having a varied media presentation with radio, podcasts, written pieces, and various personnel from inside the program and/or the program’s past seems like a no-brainer if planned/coordinated smartly by all parties involved.
You guys want a press pass, dream big and shoot for the stars, just like this program has done. Get your name out there and spearhead this thing.

Hey, one other idea...in the interest of creating enough material for a radio slot you may
consider interviewing certain fans you feel might good live radio/podcast commentators if you think you need some more dynamics at play there. You could even hold tryouts rofl. It would probably be a good idea to have a fan call in time period to provide topics/opinions that the hosts could piggy back off of.

Facebook is claiming Tyrone Crawford has received a combine invite.
Good for him if it’s true, heard he did really well in the combine testing last year on campus.

I think he confirmed it on his twitter as well.

Great list. One more potential date: when our 2012 schedule is released
According to Brian Murphy, the finalized dates and times will be released in late March (but we shouldn’t hold him to it exactly).

What Broncos are going through the NFL Combine to date?
Blue and Orange at the NFL Combine
The only thing the BCS has to fear, is fear itself, and Blue is the color of fear.
If you haven't seen it elsewhere yet...

Kellen Moore stalker report?
You know, TMZ style. Let’s aim to be creepy.

Spring fever!
Can’t wait for the announcement of the Spring Game date.
Ready to make hotel reservations and plan for a trip to Boise!
