SCOTT SLANT: There’s a supervisor now
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Monday, January 4, 2021. Only time well tell, but Boise State appears to have made a solid athletic director hire in Baylor associate vice president for athletics Jeramiah Dickey. The process was kept under wraps—Dickey’s name didn’t even surface until New Year’s Day—but it was a process, and I respect that.…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Hurry up and wait
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Wednesday, December 30, 2020. (TOM SCOTT’S COLUMN WILL RETURN MONDAY.)

SCOTT SLANT: The ‘Jerry Factor’
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Tuesday, December 29, 2020. There’s a reason they call AT&T Stadium outside Dallas “Jerry World.” It’s kind of Jerry Jones’ world down there.

SCOTT SLANT: These guys are good
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, December 22, 2020. One wonders: was the Las Vegas line on Monday night’s Boise State-New Mexico game laid down before or after oddsmakers knew Devonaire Doutrive would still be ineligible for the Broncos? Boise State was favored by 9.5 points with Doutrive still in street clothes in ExtraMile Arena. Well, without…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Spartans a team of destiny
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Monday, December 21, 2020. It wasn’t that close. Were it not for four red zone defensive stands, the leg of Jonah Dalmas, and the legs of Avery Williams, there’s no telling what the 34-20 score would have morphed into in the Mountain West championship game Saturday. From Nick Starkel to…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Just recover one fumble
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Friday, December 18, 2020. Boise State has never seen a season quite like this for turnovers, no matter how many games have been played.
