Akey votes Boise #14 and TCU #1. Get him!
Here is Coach Pete, Mustachio and other coach's votes.
Funny how he'd vote one non-AQ at the top and the other one fairly low, comparatively speaking. Also, behind Va Tech? Madness.
A local church pastor who last weekend asked parishoners to pray for the Vandals declined to be interviewed for this story
Playoff AND bowl games
Has anyone thought of this yet? Not only a playoff with bowl games, but bowl games outside the playoffs as well? Can't have your cake and eat it too? I say let them eat cake.

ALL Nike Pro Combat (includes pics, stories and videos of unis)
Official Nike link to 2010 Pro Combat Unis
Boise State University - Untamed. Unapologetic.
Boise State University’s relentless drive to win has earned the Broncos a place among the country’s
football elite. Respect for the Broncos’ rise to prominence can be seen in rankings, recruiting, media
attention, and even, in their uniforms. This year, Boise State is one of 10 top college teams to don the
innovative Nike Pro Combat System of Dress. On Sept. 6, the Broncos will open their season against
Virginia Tech in uniforms that say, yes, we have arrived.
The Boise State Nike Pro Combat System of Dress makes a statement in Silver Wing and vivid Game
Royal, echoing the famed blue turf of Bronco Stadium. Nike designers also drew inspiration from the
school’s mascot, noting a link between Boise State’s unpredictable style of play and the headstrong
nature of an untamed horse.
These insights show up throughout the uniform. A reflective, orange-eyed bronco-head logo is found
on the right shoulder of the jersey. The same logo wraps around the side of the chrome Game Royal
helmet, with the player’s number at the back lower right corner. Boise State’s incalculable style is
referenced in the asymmetrical placement of motifs throughout the uniform. The cuff of the left sleeve
is bound in orange. On the left knee rests a slanted block "B," while "Broncos" appears on the side of
the right leg—both in reflective lettering that will shine under the lights of FedEx Field. Corresponding
gloves capture Boise State’s pride: The slogan "Bleed Blue" is used as a background pattern for a
bronco head that forms on the gloves when the palms face outward. "Bleed Blue," a saying adopted by
the players, can also be found inside the back collar of the jersey. Footwear in Game Royal and Silver
Wing with orange-tipped studs completes the commanding ensemble.
A bold expression of Bronco bravado, the Boise State Nike Pro Combat System of Dress also delivers
significant performance benefits. The uniforms are 37 percent lighter than current designs, relieving
players of extra weight in a game that demands top speed. The four-way stretch twill fabric rapidly
sheds sweat and water, ensuring that even when wet, these uniforms are lighter than their standardissue
counterparts when completely dry. Dual-density foam padding provides critical protection and
greater mobility than traditional pads for unencumbered speed. The Nike Pro Combat base layer allows
for specific pad placement to suit every position, providing a highly customized solution.
The game of football has evolved. Players are stronger and faster, collisions more forceful. For the
Boise State Broncos, the Nike Pro Combat System of Dress delivers unmatched lightweight protection
in a formidable head-to-toe package.
BSU SOS argument
Im really starting to hate the SOS arguments and BSU not being in the NC game.
I suppose most of us have heard all this before, but it feels like a good day to rant. Here's a few reasons I think its ridiculous to state that BSU wouldn't do as well in top conference, and using that as a fundamental reason to keep them away of from the crystal ball.
Bronco Stadium expansion
Finally something on the subject
Vandals try to cash in on Kustra's words
And when you think its not possible for them to stoop any lower, after alcohol related deaths and negative public exposure from themselves and Bob, they attempt to glorify their tragedies with another crappy slogan t-shirt.
Thanks for validating Bob's point
Florida vs Boise St
Florida fans: I am an avid Boise St. fan, but I also enjoy Florida football. Especially that juggernaut offense you guys have had the last few seasons.
I wanted an opinion from Florida fans on a Florida vs. Boise St game - seeing how the schools are opposite in geographic location, yet share similar qualities such as kicking a$$ while wearing orange and blue.
Here is the question: How well do you think Florida would do playing outside the southeastern part of the U.S., say in Bronco Stadium in November, when its 20 degrees and snowy?
Last time Florida played in the northern part of the U.S., they got smashed 38-17 by Syracuse. That was clear back in 1991. Same year they won their first SEC title and went 10-2. (So they weren't a bad team)
(Of course we know last time BSU ventured south, they got destroyed by Georgia)
But the question remains, could Florida play dominant football outside of their comfort zone? The administrative scheduling over the last 20 years looks as if they have no confidence in their own players and coaches playing in the northern part of the U.S. - even if the price was right. Please correct me or give me some feedback, I just want to know the answer to this riddle.
Wrestling: Boise State Places Fifth at National Duals
(Notice it goes from Cedar Falls, Idaho to Cedar Falls, Iowa. Well done broncosports.com)
New Jersey kid has sights set on Harvard or Boise State.
Two noble choices my young friend.
U.S. Rep. Joe Barton's anti-BCS bill passes House subcommittee
Hooray. Thats phase one, three to go. (Next: House vote, Senate approval, Obama signature)
Rep. Barton's Playoff Bill goes before House subcommitte today 12/9/09
Thank goodness. We could have a playoff by the 2011 season.
Here's a little more detail to the bill
BCS payout - Nice, but not that nice
Not only is the BCS doing a disservice to BSU and especially TCU by not letting them have a shot to play against a "worthy" team from the BCS, but they are also short-changing the schools and conferences financially by combining their payout. The second page of this article explains it fairly well. ( I know, its Bleacher Report, buts its not bad).

Fiesta Bowl Insider Info
Something I found on the Hawkeye blog. Yeah, I spied. What of it.
BSU's own airplane
If your gonna fly, fly Bronco.
Bowl Projection Time!
The first BCS rankings are finally out, and we're at a point in the season where we can make a fair assessment of where teams are headed come bowl time. I ask thee, Bronco Nation, what are your bowl projections? Will it be Florida and Texas for the Championship? Perhaps Bama vs Texas? Better yet, how about the Fiesta Bowl? BSU vs ???
ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CBS and NBC are doing it and it seems like a ball. Although there's no RAM Burger winners here, it could be neat.
BSU and many others don't belong in top ten...what?
"This was one of the toughest weeks I can remember in my 10 years of being a pollster, because after the top 3 there simply weren’t any other squads that merited a top-10 ranking, much less a No. 4-5-6."
Apparently this guy thinks numbers 4-10 don't deserve their rankings.
It'll be funny if Texas, Florida and Bama lose. Then no one will deserve to be ranked in the top 10, ever again.
Helmets all over the place!
Is it me, or does it seem like players helmets are constantly coming off this season? Kyle Wilsons helmet came off 2 or 3 times during the Miami OH game. Not to mention the countless times its happened with other schools so far this season.
Sure, it happens once in awhile on a big hit or something. But there seems to be a noticeable increase this year. So what gives? Is it faulty chin strap or helmets? Or do players purposely loosen their gear so they can get media exposure when their lid comes flying off? Maybe they just like loose chin straps because its more comfortable ...Can't really figure this one out. Any guesses?
BCS teams fading
Interesting article discussing BCS teams struggles so far this year, as well as non-BCS teams achievements.
Several of the teams that make up the system are fading away. New ones on the outside are rising. It is time for some serious reform in the way we choose our champ.
Hawkins, Buffs, drop 2nd game in 5 days, to TOLEDO
Do you think that the $900,000 contract is worth humiliating losses, a consistent losing record, and the stress of knowing your probably about to get canned the second your contract is expired?
If he would have stayed one more year in Boise, he would have been making more money than what he is at Colorado. Plus, he would actually have a winning record. No Hawk love here, just a little pity and sympathy for someone that took greed over greatness.
BYU vs. Florida State 9/19/09
Any thoughts or predictions on the BYU - FSU game?
I can't say I know a ton about either team, and I don't want to look stuff up, but I think it will be close. Of course BYU beat Oklahoma, but something tells me they won't be consistently strong, we'll see. FSU looked pretty sharp against Miami this last Monday. They lost by four but had a few chances to get the W. The game actually came down to a play review on a last second touchdown too see whether or not the Nols' won.
As most of us know, if BYU biffs this one and loses, it gives BSU an even better chance of getting to a BCS bowl. Basically this games helps determine whether Bronco Nation packs theirs bags to travel to a big bowl across the country, or straps their seat belts on for a drive to the Humanitarian Bowl you know where.
Personal Prediction: 21- 28 FSU
Raiders release Chris O'Neill less than a week into camp.
Another one for the CFL? And whatever happened to Jeremy Childs since his departure with the Chargers?
Best of 3 with TCU
Alright. So I'm thinking since the MWC has a tie in with the Humanitarian Bowl now, and since:
1 TCU is a MWC team
2 BSU has beaten them at the Forth Worth Bowl once
3 TCU has beaten BSU at a neutral site, the Pointsettia Bowl
4 Bronco Stadium hosts the H-bowl..
Catchin my drift yet? BAM! We need to play TCU at least one more time, best of 3, in the H-bowl if thats where BSU goes this year and if TCU is available. This would probably be the next best thing to a BCS bowl. Praise Jesus.
Thoughts.
