Morning paper: Boise State football links 12/29
Posted in Boise State football on 29 December 2008

Good morning, Bronco fans. Things will be back to relative normalcy on the blog now that we’ve used up all of our vacation days at work and now that we’ve taken an appropriate amount of time for mourning.
Also, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Brian Murphy’s new beard, as seen in yesterday’s print [...]

Posted in Boise State football on 20 November 2008

Media fight! The Statesman’s Brian Murphy posted on his blog indisputable evidence that Doug Martin did, in fact, “Hammer” the Vandal logo last Saturday when he led the team out before the game, contrary to what Tom Scott reported. Murphy then passive-aggressively called out Scott in what we can only hope leads to some epic [...]

Boise State to the H-Bowl? Are you trying to kill us?
Posted in Boise State football on 28 October 2008

As of this moment, we currently have an e-alert set up on Priceline.com for plane tickets to Miami so that we can watch the Broncos play in this year’s Orange Bowl. And then we come across this nugget of awfulness from Brian Murphy’s blog:

The Broncos’ winning on Friday night against San Jose State was about the only thing that went according to plan for the WAC this weekend. We’ll touch on these results later today, but there were upsets galore as Idaho topped NMSU, Nevada lost to Hawaii, and Fresno needed a last-second field goal to beat Utah [...]

Posted in Boise State football, Ian Johnson on 24 October 2008

Much to our surprise, Ian Johnson was on the front page of Yahoo Sports last night. He’s hardly ever on the front of his own local paper anymore. Naturally, we clicked to see what was up, and we were treated to a fairly outstanding feature on Johnson - everything from his reduced role in the [...]

Morning paper: Boise State football links 10/9
Posted in Boise State football on 9 October 2008

We just got done reading Brian Murphy’s latest column where he basically tells the Broncos how to fix their running game. His solution is to give one of the running backs the majority of the carries, and use one of the remaining three to spell him on occasion. Our solution is to play offense with [...]

Posted in Boise State football on 1 October 2008

What an interesting, weird feeling to have a Boise State football game smack dab in the middle of the work week. Anyone else taking Thursday off as a “sick day”? We’ve still got our game prediction and some more feelings on LaTech today, so keep an eye out for those before you head to the [...]
