Get to know Quaylon Ewing-Burton

Chad Cripe has a good article talking about QEB's road to Boise State and how his high school friend, Iloka, has helped QEB to be ready and focused. 

Missouri's Board of Curators authorizes chancellor to "explore options for conference affiliation"

Missouri isn't gone from the Big XII yet, but this is their first step out the door. Missouri's chancellor, Brady Deaton, also announced his resignation as chairman of the Big XII's Board of Directors if it wasn't clear enough. This could potentially be good news for Boise State as the more teams the Big XII needs, the better chances for Boise State. However, Boise State's invitation may be tacked on to BYU's. And no one knows what BYU wants.

CBS Sports has Kellen at #6 in their Heisman Watch

Gary Patterson does not like SMU, refuses to help SMU anymore

I know TCU and SMU's history goes all the way back to the Southwest Conference, but I didn't realize there was so much bad blood between the two schools.

SB Nation has a survey they'd like everyone to take

Come on, I know how much you all love surveys! No? Well if you could just help out us and SB Nation with this survey, it would be much appreciated. It concerns the user experience, navigation and brand integrations. So, if you are offended by a particular ad campaign, this is a good place to voice that concern. Also, if we are in the top 3 sites with the highest percentage of surveys, we get $500 to donate to a charity of our choice. Suggestions?
