NCAA Football: Idaho State at Boise State

I’ve been prescribed anti-gloating cream.

I can’t wait to rub it in.

Bronco softball gets the series win over Colorado State

The Broncos were able to claim the series yesterday on senior day. While the hopes of a repeat MWC title are slim for the Broncos, it is always a good day to beat Colorado State.

Brett Rypien talks to the Athletic ($)

It’s about his move to Denver. Denver had cut former MWC Offensive Player of the Year Garrett Grayson to make room for Brett Rypien. Fitting.

If you were curious about the deal he’s getting with the other Broncos:

Broncos undrafted rookie QB Brett Rypien guaranteed to make practice squad w/3-yr deal.
2019: $10K sign bonus, $136,000 guarantee of $495,000 salary.
Practice squad pay is $8,000/week. 17 weeks of PS is $136,000.
2020: $585k no guarantee.
2021: $675k no-guarantee. #9sports

Guaranteed paycheck for his first year at least? Better than not. Here’s to him developing into an All-Pro.

Here is a feature on Alexander Mattison

It’s basically an introduction of sorts for Mattison to the Viking fan base.

The Payton Jordan track meet was productive

Having said that, the MWC championships is going to be a good one for Allie Ostrander. While she did beat out UNM’s Cohen, it was a close one. Going to be a good battle.

ICYMI: Broncos MBB add another transfer

The Broncos are still riding the #TeamTransfer trend and I am ok with that. While I assume Coach Leon Rice would prefer dudes who are on the roster for more than 2-3 years, the way NCAA basketball is going right now, it’s hard to do that.
