Thoughts To Think About

Published Wednesday, Sep 7th, 2011 By Heath Dreger

# # # #

My First Thought: it is important to respect the journey of a season. So much was made of the opener against Georgia and rightfully so, it is rare, at least for most programs, to start a season with a game against a ranked opponent in a bowl like atmosphere. The aftermath however is controlled to a certain degree by the fans. As big as the win against Georgia was for the program it is only one game of a football season, it is easy to get caught up in all the outside noise. My plea to the fans is this “enjoy the win, enjoy the season and enjoy Boise State football”. The off seasons are long the seasons are short, there is plenty of time to talk about where Chris Continue Reading

Boise State schedules Michigan State

BOISE, Idaho – Boise State has agreed to a three-game football series with Michigan State, Director of Athletics Gene Bleymaier announced Friday.

The Broncos will open the 2012 season at Michigan State (Aug. 31), and the game will be televised nationally by ESPN.

“This will be another nationally-televised marquee match-up to begin the season,” Bleymaier said. “Michigan State is a premier program and we are excited about playing a Big Ten opponent.”

Boise State opened its 2009 season with a 19-8 victory over No. 16 Oregon, and also defeated No. 6 Virginia Tech (33-30) to open the 2010 season. Both games were televised nationally by ESPN.

The series will continue with Michigan State playing at Bronco Stadium Sept. 17, 2022, and the teams will again meet in East Lansing, Mich., in 2023 (Sept. 16). Boise State will receive a guarantee of $1.2 million for the 2012 game and the schools will exchange $300,000 for the games in 2022 and 2023.

The Spartans are currently ranked No. 5 in all three major polls, and their No. 5 ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings is the highest in school history.

With the agreement, the Broncos will move their game at Oregon State to Sept. 24, 2016. Boise State has also moved its 2012 game against Miami (Ohio) scheduled for Sept. 1, and will now play Sept. 15, 2012.

The Broncos’ nonconference schedule for 2012 is as follows:

Kellen Moore for Heisman

Kellen Moore for Heisman

Have you seen the recent Heisman Predictions? Kellen Moore is #1 again! Where else would you have a guy whose touchdown to interception ratio is 14-1? He also plays for the #3 team in the Nation, and soon to be released BCS, which will likely have his team #1. These rankings will likely change as BSU enters conference play, but that shouldn’t take away from the facts of what Moore has done so far. He is the best player on the best team at this point in the season. Period.

ESPN projecting BSU #1 in BCS

Why is Boise State predicted to be the #1 spot when the BCS debuts next Sunday? The BCS is 1/3 Harris Poll, 1/3 USA Today Coaches Poll, and 1/3 BCS Computers. Nobody really knows exactly how the computers calculate their rankings, but  strength of schedule, quality of win, wins away and wins at home, etc, all figure into the calculations. Let’s take a quick look at the Strength of Schedule part of the equation;

Beavers Drown on the Blue Turf

Published Sunday, Sep 26th, 2010 By Cliff Marks Jr.

The money spent by the Oregon State Boosters to paint their practice field blue was a bust, at the end of the game when the final whistle blew it made little to no difference. In fact it created more national attention for the Blue Turf at Boise State. ABC and ESPN showcased the Blue Turf and its meaning to this program.

Boise State went to 3-0 with a win over non-conference PAC-10 rival #24 Oregon State. The outcome was a win but the road to victory was penalty filled and paved with mistakes on special teams. Boise can attribute at least one Beaver touchdown to penalties as they were 8-58 in that category. But, I say lets give them just a little slack for the mistakes as the distractions were plenty. A nationally televised game on ABC, ESPN College Game Day, the Championship Trophy in town and a slew of national reporters, throw in the everyday distractions of class and being home for the opener and I say we can excuse a few.

It’s ESPN Game Day in Boise

It began unlike any other morning with a 4:30 alarm, a shower, drive to the stadium and a $20 parking fee only to stand in line for over an hour just to get in. By my guestimate I would say over ten thousand of the Bronco Nation did the very same, minus the parking fee most likely. I met the five creators of this GAMEDAY sign and they sounded off like the mouseketeers,  ”Joanne, Collette, Rebecca, Cathy and Dawn” each sharing the many road games they all have traveled to, including Washington DC. True representation of the Bronco Nation. By the way there were no stick signs allowed into the stadium, so this is most likely the only representation of their efforts.
