PrintNational Signing Day is tomorrow, folks
Murphy has a rundown of Boise State's current class. One name not on the list is Darien Barrett, a defensive end out of Inglewood, CA. Scout.com is reporting that he chose Boise State over the weekend, but he won't officially announce his commitment until tomorrow morning.
Stewart Mandel looks at the Boise State recruiting conundrum
I do think that Boise State has seen a bump in recruiting that was marked by this last class of seniors. Starting with those guys, I think Boise State has been recruiting a whole new level of athlete. However, they still aren't 4 and 5 star athletes so it doesn't look like success in recruiting.
Nick Saban reportedly offered Landon Collins' girlfriend a job in his office
Landon Collins is the nation's top rated safety from New Orleans and made headlines when he picked Alabama over LSU on national television against his mother's wishes. Well now Collins' mother is claiming that Saban offered his girlfriend a job in the athletic office. Oh, and the NCAA rules only prohibit this in basketball so Saban is in the clear.
Missouri makes a terrible, terrible rap video to introduce themselves to the SEC
Please don't ever let someone at Boise State attempt to make a music video about the university. If one already exists, let's destroy it please. Think of the children.

There was a rap video a couple years ago
it was some white kids wearing visors, with socks and sandals. All of the Vanduls I know were ragging on me about it. I would like it very much if someone could go back in time and slap those kids silly before they decided to post that to the internet.
was it the "Kid Bronc" one?
If not, then it’s a shame that there are at least two videos out there that are cringeworthy.
I know the Kid Bronc one got shut down because he used some pics without permission from a Nuggie.
My QB has an AWARD named after him. How about yours?!

That was probably it...
It was awful… I think there should just be a rule that no song should ever be written about a team. It doesn’t usually end well

How about the rock rap featuring the muscle hampster?
Reckless Abandon – Deja Blue (Boise State Football Anthem 2011)
Seems like there are quite a few BSU rap attempts on the YouTube

I did not know that gold was a BSU color...
but now I guess I believe it… you know cuz it is the “Official” Boise State Anthem.

I just can't take it anymore!
Young white men… stop making rap videos! You suck at it… as I mentioned above songs should not be written about a team they just end up sounding stupid but they especially should not be rap songs sang by 19 year old white kids… you just sound stupid and look like trash… if you feel the need to do this please make it a song about dUI or Oregon or something so we can at least make fun of them.

I think there was a black dude in the Mizzou video.
They put him in the back.
He looks like he was taken straight from the marching band. (Look at the bewildered look on his face at about 2:27. “You want me to dance?”)
I couldn't bring myself to watch it
I pulled it up and watched about the first 15 seconds of it and had to shut it off. I just wish these things would stop… It’s just like that video I was talking about… I bet those guys posted that and said “man, this is awesome people are going to love this, I am so cool” but all that really came of it was a lot of facepalm by us bronco fans and ammo for the dUI people… It is not cool, embarass yourself and the institution… please stop… and I say that as a member of this generation

this one I could actually tolerate. The video even seemed to be higher grade than ur normal fanmade stuff.
I’m not saying it’s awesome but the vocal rhythms, lyrical content, and overall believability of “who they are” is better imo. They don’t look like a bunch of posers to me I guess lol.

I agree the deja blue wasn't bad
It was actually original music performed by actual musicians, and they pulled it off without making fools of themselves.
But that missou video is horrible. ATTENTION WHITE UPPER MIDDLE CLASS KIDS FROM THE BURBS: please stop rapping. Please, please stop.
Jimminey Cricket, why is it always the white kids making these god awful mistakes lol
they look so out of place

Recruiting
The “star” system is a relatively broken one anyway, and it’s been proven in the past that what is far more important than pulling five star recruits is coaching them up. And Boise has proven that it can hold it’s own with most BCS schools.
Recruiting is another one of those things where I have so much faith in Chris Petersen that I know he’ll do it right. So yeah, a top 25 class looks good, but isn’t the defining factor.
Plus, Boise is still in Idaho. Just by being in Texas a team like TCU is going to get better rated recruits. You work with what you have.
How does
Stewart Mandel know that the Big East probably won’t be an AQ anymore? The teams going in are better than the teams going out. I hope they do away with the AQ system, but if they don’t I doubt the Big East would lose it anyway.

i think he's alluding to the fact that there won't be designations anymore.
not necessarily that the Big East will be stripped.

With Barrett did we just get our first recruit that wanted to do the whole I'm Special, watch my Last Second choice with baited breath routine?

She has never Had Nothing, Not No How, Not Never Ever A Job in My Office.
It is a total coincidence that Landon Collins is dating this girl and he is signed on. By the way why should she work here when she has a rent free condo? Next Question?
We only pay play by the rules. Why don’t you go bother Boise State for allowing recruits to sleep on the floors and ride borrowed bicycles.
The only thing the BCS has to fear, is fear itself, and Blue is the color of fear.
