How Boise State Can Get R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Nothing Like Aged Whine

Besides the incredible won lost records, conference titles, incredible fan base, and the blue turf what else do the Boise State Broncos need to do to have at least a little well-deserved respect?

I know, I'm whining, but that's what fans do best. I've lived around Notre Dame, Michigan, and Ohio State fans most of my life and all of them have taken whining and elevated it to an art form.

We Need Some Respect

Anyway, I got some ideas. Here is the first one; invite Aretha Franklin to Boise State for next year's homecoming. Have her at mid field singing Respect as the Broncos run through the tunnel and out onto the field. That's electric, man!

What will she be wearing you ask? Blue and orange, of course. And the lyrics will be somewhat modified.

I'm sure she can bend the notes and stretch the melody to include, "R-e-s-p-e-c-t B-r-o-n-c-o-s." It would be tough, but Aretha could do it.

We Need Some Good Old Fashion Andy Hardy Optimism

Here's my next great idea to emblazon the Bronco name into the hearts and minds of the American public. Remember those Andy Hardy movies with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland? It seemed whenever his friends were whining about the jam they were in Andy would snap his finger, the creative juices started flowing, and he'd say, "Hey gang, I got it! Let's put on a show."

That cured everything. The whole town came out and enjoyed the show and Mickey kissed Judy. Of course, in real life they went on the have 12 spouses between them, but that's Hollywood.

I Need Some Help

Notre Dame had Knute Rockne All American and Rudy. Marshall had their movie. Those movies gave them respect and legitimacy. What about us! Let's put on a show. Let's make a movie! Those other movies didn't even have singing and dancing. We can do better than that! So what do you say gang, let's do it!!!

First of all, OBNUG, get busy with some ideas. In the next couple of days I want some ideas. In the mean time, I'm going to set up a meeting with George Lucas, Stephen Spielberg, and Jerry Bruckheimer. Not all at once, of course, but I'm going to play them against each other. I need ideas to pitch. Follow me so far?

Look Out Hollywood!

Here's a couple of my ideas (really more, but once the creative wheels are turning they can't be stopped). I haven't worked out all the details, like characters, plot, dialogue, budget, or special effects; but I have that Andy Hardy optimism. Right now I just have the title and credits; which is only me at this point.

Here are the titles:

Hunt for Blue October; (Staring Bryan Harsin, looking for recruits defecting from the evil Power 5 schools)
How the Mountain West Was Won (Staring Grant Hedrick and how Boise lost to Air Force and managed to whip the snot out of everyone else.)
My Favorite Idaho - Team (I don't even know where to go with this one, but it has an intriguing and catchy title.)
Field of Blue (Deeply devout Bronco fan kidnaps Lou Holtz and brings him to Boise. This will need some work. Okay, smears him with bacon grease and ties him to a tree in a forest 100 miles from Boise.)
When Ian Met Chrissy (Staring you know who and you know who and about you know what.)
Mr. Moore Goes to Boise (Starring you know who. He portrays a shy, honest, naïve, and idealistic boy from Prosser, Washington. He leaves Washington (do you like the twist) and quarterbacks BSU to 50 wins leaving the football intelligentsia scratching their derrieres.)
The Blue .056818th of a Mile (Crap, I don‘t know, just thought it was clever, get it .056818th of a mile is a football field.)
A Clockwork Blue and Orange (I didn‘t get it the first time around, so no plot is needed just random highlights of Broncos in Blue and Orange and the very end they are in gray uniforms which is the new orange.)
Bronco Without a Scholly (This can only be played by Boise State's R J Dean, no relation to James Dean of Rebel Without a Cause. A kid misunderstood by the older generation and makes good as a Bronco. Still need a Natalie Wood look-alike Any takers?)
Raging Bronco (Violent bloody movie about the BSU defensive unit.)

Some of these are before a lot of readers' time, so here's something a little newer, 50 Shades of Blue. (Really don't want to go into this one.)

Or better yet, The Bronco Blues Brothers 2015. Check out Aretha in this clip from The Blues Brothers 2000 and tell me she's not wearing orange and blue and guess what she‘s singing?

Tell me this ain't a Bronco fashion statement.

Okay, I know what you're thinking; pretty stupid. Can you come up with something better? I can hear the whiners now, "He took mine. He took mine."
