Fourth quarter

Colin Kaepernick added a late TD for Nevada, but it was too late as Maryland ran out the clock to win the 12th Humanitarian Bowl, 42-35.

What's the difference between a 9-7 season and an 0-16 season in the NFL

Not much.

Those records may seem miles apart, and trust me, as a Detroit Lions fan since the Bill Sims days, they are. But are they really?

Not to the GMs and owners who run the teams.

Monday morning we all knew Lions head coach Rod Marinelli would get axed, heck, even he said, "You can't go 0-16 and expect...read more

So far, the Western Athletic Conference is 0-for-3 in bowl games. Ouch!

I must confess, I was pretty torn on which team to pick in the Poinsettia Bowl ( I went with the Broncos by a slim margin), but for the New Mexico Bowl and the Hawaii Bowl, I was pretty confident Fresno State would beat Colorado State and Hawaii would beat a less-than-spectacular Notre Dame team at home.

What do I know? They...read more

Fourth quarter

Boise State gets within 1

With 4:47 to go in the game, Boise State added a 32-yard FG by Kyle Brotzman to get within one point, 17-16 of TCU.

TCU takes the lead

Boise State's lead is gone as Joseph Turner scored the Frogs' second TD on the game to take a 17-13 lead.

Boise State had led all game long until the 17-yard run by Turner. With 8:51 to play, TCU holds a...read more

Kickoff about 40 minutes away

Just got back up to the press box after going down to the field level and I must say, it is a bit wet. Not too wet, but you can tell the rain Monday will make it a bit slippery in some spots - mostly corners - of the field.

Oh and the clouds are starting to roll in so it may get a bit chilly as the night goes on.

That's about it for now, check back during the...read more

It's finally here! After a long week of anticipation, Boise State and TCU are set to battle at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego later this afternoon

My take: I think it should be a great game of two of the top-ranked teams in the nation. I root for a solid game from each squad. Let the best team win.

I did, though, pick the Broncos to win by a narrow margin, you can read that here.

It looks...read more

There wasn't much sunshine today here in San Diego, the day before the Broncos kick off with TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl.

The weather for the team's visit to the USS Midway was miserable, but coach Petersen was OK with it.

"I don't know why anyone is talking about the weather 'cause this is paradise to us where we came from," he said at his morning news conference. "It can stay like...read more

Day 1 for me here in San Diego comes to a close as Dave an I just got back from watching the team take part in racing go-karts. It looked like a good time.

There's not too much else going on today. It appears that the Broncos are pretty focused on the game against TCU on Tuesday night.

I was watching ESPN and they seem to be pumping it a bunch. Can't really blame them.

I did take a few minutes to...read more

I left Boise this morning while it was snowing and now I'm here in San Diego. I ditched the fleece pretty quick after I got off the plane.

Dave Southorn and Greg Kreller have been down here for a few days and we'll all be here through Wednesday. 

I'll have more later, but for now, we're off to run down some Boise State players for some interviews.

With all the coaching carousal news during the past few weeks, it may only be a matter of time before some Boise State football coaches move on to greener (monetarily, that is) pastures.

It's no secret that offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin and defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox are hot commodities given the team's success the past three seasons.

It's hard to hide the Broncos' defense, which is...read more

The Internet age is truly fascinating, I think we could all agree on that.

For better or worse, we live in a time where any, and just about all, information is one click away within our Web browser.

As a journalist, it’s a great tool — only if used wisely, of course.

But last week, during the frantic chaos created by a few bloggers, the Internet proved, once again, not to believe...read more

Boise State is going to San Diego to play TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23, but in the process, the team got there after not getting a BCS bid, despite being ranked ahead of the Ohio State Buckeyes, which did.

Boise State finished No. 9 in the final BCS rankings, while Ohio State was No. 10. The Buckeyes will take on Texas in the Fiesta Bowl.

According to a slew of Internet rumors, that’s what they’re saying. Boise State head coach Chris Petersen is going to be the next head man at Mississippi.

Here’s a link from a local TV station down there.

It's been reported that the deal for Petersen at MSU is four years and $9 million. He makes about $1 million — with bonuses — at Boise State.

That may be what many members of the WAC may be saying for the second-year La.Tech coach.

It looks like Dooley is on the short list for several jobs, including the vacancy at Mississippi State — a job Boise State coach Chris Petersen was talked about for.

It’s becoming more and more evident that Boise State men’s basketball has been forgotten in the Treasure Valley sports scene. 

Now I’m not gonna advocate anyone to rush out and buy seasons tickets, but it’s hard to believe that it’s this bad. I’m not sure if it’s apathy, or more simply, basketball has lost its interest in our football-crazed state.

Here’s...read more
