A storm blew away 25% of my roof last night.
Oof.
Boise State signing day recap
This is the official one by Boise State. The crazy thing about this class is there weren’t any late flips despite some late runs/big pushes from other schools. That’s impressive. Always seems like the closer to a signing day, the more nervous we have to get about a late poach. Good on the coaching staff.
Check out the KenPom rankings
Mostly just for funsies. Nice to see Boise State rated as high as as they are.
A brief history of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
Nothing super revelatory here and probably all information you knew at some point. BUT kind of fun to stroll down memory lane every so often. The Idaho Potato Commission has been doing a good job with the marketing and still having a bowl game in Boise is important. I thought I had heard from the ESPN broadcast during the actual game on Monday was this is the northern most bowl game. I’m skeptical on that.
Pat Forde thinks the Early Signing Day should go away
I don’t know. He has brought up some decent points about the timing of firings and whether or not coaches should be recruiting for other schools, etc. But, honestly, The coaching carousel has been going on for years. Even Dan Hawkins and Boise State had their own difficulty when he moved on to CU. It is nice to not have to sweat out player flips.
Demarcus Lawrence is headed to the Pro Bowl
Congratulations, Tank!
It’s awesome to see former Broncos getting recognized for the work they’re doing.

247 rates recruits. You can pretty much look at the rating and predict the top five or ten teams year after year. It is not often a team like a Boise State cracks the mold. (I’m speaking about the Broncos during the Petersen era). That seems to have faded in the mist of football lore. I looked at the the complete rating list of BSU recruits. It probably goes back at least 20 years. There are 247 recruits listed. Two players are listed near the bottom. Those two players likely exemplify the Broncos. Winston Venable is rated at 245. He… Read more »
It appears Jackson Cravens has entered the transfer portal. It looks like he’s taking his COVID year someplace else. Sorry to see him go. He started with the Utes and came to BSU about three years ago.
Broncos replaces d-line coach, Frank Maile, with Erik Chinander. Of course, reading his resume and commints by Avalos one might think he’s the greatest coach to come along. However, I think it’s a good move. I’ll reserve my comments about Maile for another time. Jabril Frazier is now a full time coach; a big congratulations! He will be the edge coach. I always though Jabril was edgy. Ben Hilgert was named Director of Sports Peformance. He’s been around for over 20 years. I think the change was needed. It seemed as if the Broncos have had a fair amount of… Read more »
I would live in a van by the river if that was an option. If my company wins a job in Boise next year, I may be doing just that!! Fingers crossed.
