Nice breakdown by Ben Muth of Football Outsiders, praising Ryan Clady's pass protection as basically perfect while he fends off a strong pass rush from Billy Winn.

I already knew this. But after seeing this video ... wow! He had to apologize this week for accusing Air Force coach Troy Calhoun of keeping his injured QB on the ground long enough to prepare his backup to score the game winning TD. I had no idea how bad it really was. (Warning - LANGUAGE)

"All men's and women's basketball games and women's volleyball games will be available online for free as well, Farrell said." From reading the article it doesn't appear that "all" really means "all", rather "all the games FOX sports owns the rights to". Still, it will be great to see many BSU basketball games on TV/Streaming!

Great interview by Dan Wetzel.

Extremely insightful breakdown of one of MSU's favorite blitz packages, including some of its variations. I've no doubt Pete can scheme against this, I just hope Southwick can diagnose it & execute against it.

Boise State is in at #4 (which happens to mean nothing in this ranking system - Texas A&M is #3) and its blurb fantastically compares the football program to a Death Star, but a polite one. Must read!

I don't like the shirts or hat. I think Nike missed the boat this year.

Excellent write-up.

umm, see OBNUG front page.

Another big recruit for Coach Rice, Darrious Hamilton (6'9" 234 lb PF) chose BSU over Alabama and K-State!

Phil Steele lists his preseason all-MWC teams (1st-4th). Moore 1st team QB (duh). BSU guys all over the place. Not surprising: 4 D-linemen make the list (2-1st, 1-2nd, 1-4th). Surprising: Jeremy Ioane making 3rd team safety. Big projection there.

Upset Blog is rating uniforms. Today is Boise State. Go share your thoughts!

My story about the 2007 Fiesta Bowl made it in there ... check it out!

I can't wait to see Billy Winn tear through Georgia's O-line then take a peek inside this man-purse while throwing Murray 10-or-15 yards backwards!

"1. Kellen Moore, Sr., Boise State. He’s 38-2 as a starter—and had his team in position to win both games that were lost. By the end of the season, he’ll likely set NCAA records for career wins (45, Colt McCoy), touchdown passes (134, Graham Harrell; Moore has 99) and pass efficiency (Sam Bradford, 175.6; Moore is at 166.7). And he may win the Heisman Trophy and national championship." ... 15. DT Billy Winn, Sr., Boise State.

La'Shard Anderson made first team all-WAC as well as the all-defensive team! Elbow-man from Utah State was selected as the POY.

A playoff also would mean the end of America's bowl tradition as we know it. As Rick Baker, president of the Cotton Bowl, said, "A playoff system would ruin the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic." Shed a tear for the blight of the poor, oppressed bowl executive. Everyone is attacking them for all the money they've bilked from the great contributions they've made to the traditions of so many American Universities!

Great story from ESPN the mag about BSU's very experienced team.

Another example of Chris Petersen being the best coach in the world. And a great man on top of that.
