Boise State renews its rivalry with Fresno State on Friday (7:00 p.m. MT, ESPN), and to get you ready for the Broncos' final non-conference game of the year, I bring you analysis by wordplay. Actual analysis to follow throughout the week.
Join me after the jump for a look at the Fresno roster via anagrams, and enjoy the Leper Coolies.
An anagram is like a word jumble; you take the letters from a word or phrase and mix them up to see what other words or phrases you can come up with. Try it for yourself.
The Bulldogs had the privilege (?) of getting the anagram treatment last year when Fresno State visited Bronco Stadium. Many great anagram names return. Many were lost. Here is this year's Fresno anagram gang:
