Foreground: Boise State occupiers, Background: Riot squad itching to pepper spray them.

No, that headline's not a typo. OBNUG member gdigital, who as far as I can tell enjoys lurker status almost exclusively—sent me a few pics yesterday with the following explanation: "Some buddies and I are living in Chicago for the summer and decided to march with the NATO/occupy people representing Boise." Hey, the "movement" is all-inclusive, right? And who better understands the plight of the underdog better than Boise State fans? Sure, the guys seem to be having a bit of a laugh, but gdigital claims that the unwashed masses were all united in their support of Boise State—routinely telling the crew "Oh, I love Boise State", which I can only assume was followed by "which way to the drum circle?"

More pics after the jump

We salute these brave souls for showing their love for Boise State without feeling the need to hide behind a Guy Fawkes mask. No word yet on how long they were detained.

editor's note: Keeping with our community standards, this is not meant to be a political post—and I don't claim to know the political leanings of our merry pranksters here. Let's keep politics out of the comments and instead laugh heartily at Bronco Nation once again forcefully placing themselves into the national conversation.
