Former Boise State player Kimo von Oelhoffen did not make it out of week one, getting cut by the Philadelphia Eagles for having old knees. Who’s going to tell stories about the 1970’s at team [...]

The latest version of Madden was released on Tuesday, much to the dismay of our social calendar. Seriously, between Boise State football and video games, we’re booked for the next few months.
While each year brings new features to the game (Cris Collinsworth, anyone?), the updated rosters get people talking just as much as anything else. [...]

In NFL preseason games over the weekend, several former Boise State players saw action, much to Woody Paige’s chagrin.

Will Kellen Moore’s brother follow to BSU? [Scout.com]
The answer to the above question is, obviously, “We sure hope so!”
Kirby Moore, a wide receiver at Prosser High, sounds like the second coming of a Tim Gilligan-Jerry Rice hybrid. All he does is catch touchdowns.

After the exciting NFL draft, Week in Review (WIR) is realizing the long summer that lays before us. Surely we can all get through this together.
Meanwhile, a wrapup of a busy week:
