I was born in Texas and am a 4th generation Dallas Cowboys fan. I moved around a lot throughout my life and basically grew up in Central Florida as a Florida State Seminole fan. I was there throughout the first half of the 90's when the Seminoles won a lot and also had a lot of heartbreakers.
I came to the Boise area in late 2003 as AD USAF after a lengthy and enjoyable stint in northern Italy. I arrived just in time for Boise St.'s success to really begin kicking in but remained a stout Seminole fan at first. The Broncos, like Idaho, took time to grow on me but they are easily the team I am most excited about these days.
Many of you have seen me comment about how Boise State is waging a public image war, much like the way a lot of political campaigns are organized. I'd like to reiterate this thought process and...
I was asked to make a fanpost with all the photoshop pics I made for our draft picks so here they are. And now I get to tell a story about a bear walking in the woods. Once upon a time, there was a...
The following article frames some of my gut feelings on this draft pretty well. Rafael Vela - 2014 Starts Today http://www.cowboysnation.com/2013/04/cowboys-draft-review-2014-starts-today.html I...
Coach Pete recaps spring practice. At the 9:22 mark he talks about WR DJ Dean tearing an ACL. He mentioned trying to get him back for Fall Camp but then goes on to say that Dean will give it another shot NEXT year. DJ is a local product coming in off his RS year as a RS Frosh. Best of luck to him in his rehab efforts.
I'd like to start this by congratulating our overachieving Basketball team on a great year. I loved that they didn't quit while under quite a bit of internal pressure and heat from La Salle. There...
I'm starting to gather info for my next segment on the BSU 2013 roster, Quarterbacks. I feel pretty good about my thoughts on Joe Southwick right now, but a little bare bones on the other guys. I...

I'm healing rapidly from the car wreck I was in last Sunday. My right ribs are sore but they will heal up in a couple weeks or so. This is part 3 of the 2013 BSU roster review. Today, I get into...
Thank God for being alive. Yesterday I got blindsided in an intersection by a medium sized pickup truck that ran a red light at about 45 MPH. I was catapulted across the oncoming traffic lane (no...
I found this interview of Chris Petersen that was done back in '07 or '08. It's an interview from a site that caters to football coaches so there's a lot of great Q&A concerning Chris Petersen's development as a coach from childhood to when he took over at BSU. This is a quality article that gives you a snapshot of Pete's thoughts from several years back and also shows his foundational beliefs, which remain the same today, as it pertains to coaching football.
Hey guys, I got bored and started to look at Boise St.'s roster for next year and wrote a full length fanpost breaking that roster down by position group. However, as I was writing each position...
I found this on youtube. It's a short Chicago regional clip of Eric Allen's opinion when asked which Defense was better; Buddy Ryan's 1985 famed 46 Defense or Lovie Smith's impressive 2012 Tampa 2....
Seems to be the full game uploaded in 720p. This will make for a terrific resource over the offseason, allowing us to analyze different position groups for both teams. I am particularly interested in both OLs and DLs, as well as the Husky receivers and our reserve LB'ers/DB's.
I think I'm preaching to the choir here but I also think it's helpful to firm up a general idea or feeling within the framework of an article's worth of text. Maybe this will act as a catalyst for...

This was originally supposed to be the second video in a two part series. However, it developed in such a way that I think this works best as a standalone prelude video. Part three will, hopefully,...
Deployment: This was originally supposed to be a two part video on the Broncos program in general and its upcoming season. However, I was recently tasked with a short notice deployment and I have...
Read between the lines; Sports Illustrated, probably easily the national leader in sports editorials, is basically considering it FACTUAL that Boise St. is too good and too big to be considered a Mid-Major or BCS Buster anymore. One more sign of the rise of a program of excellence. It takes years of consistency to raise public perception from one category to the next. Congrats, BSU, I think it's pretty much official.
The Chicago Tribune republished Tom Doyle's in depth article, written on May 26, 2012 for the Connecticut based Hartford Courant, regarding the varying opinions circling the looming Big East TV deal. I just thought this was a very informative piece for anyone that may not be up to speed on what's going to start up in September.
The Chicago Tribune republished Tom Doyle's in depth article, written on May 26, 2012 for the Connecticut based Hartford Courant, regarding the varying opinions circling the looming Big East TV deal. Lots of good info here. Two long pages but well worth the read imo to gain a baseline level understanding of what we face.
Well, I finished it finally. I had a ton of difficulty w/ Youtube licensing but finally figured that mess out. You will want to have around 25 minutes to kill. The video is 21 minutes but if you...
