Hi Nuggies!
This is Jesse. I'm in Boise for tonight's tilt against Fresno State and for the first time I get to take advantage of OBNUG's press pass.
Follow along as I take you through the game day from our new point of view. Heck, who knows, I might even be able to get a selfie with Cripe and Southern.
No promises.
