Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Friday, May 15, 2020. It’s Friday—time for another great moment in my early-bird celebration of Albertsons Stadium’s 50th anniversary. When you scan the stands at the stadium today, you see mostly blue and orange, whether there’s a color scheme or not. Before 2002, it was a potpourri of colors, as…… MORE

SCOTT SLANT: The blue turf’s loudest night
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Thursday, May 14, 2020. The audio person in the ESPN truck had to watch the levels on this night.

SCOTT SLANT: 2020 season is clear as mud
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Wednesday, May 13, 2020. Define “students on campus.” That’s supposedly the benchmark for college football teams taking the field this season. Tim White, the former University of Idaho president, is now the chancellor of the California State University system. And that includes Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Broncos and Pack back a year early?
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Tuesday, May 12, 2020. We are still almost four months away from the scheduled start of the college football season. So anything can still happen.

SCOTT SLANT: I remember my extremities in 2014
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Thursday, May 7, 2020. The “Croix de Candlestick” was an award pin that was given out to San Francisco Giants fans in the 1980’s. To get one, you had to stay until the conclusion of a night game that went extra innings. It was a badge of honor for those who…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Will a record teeter in 2022?
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Wednesday, May 6, 2020. The subject of Boise State’s career rushing record has been broached this week.

SCOTT SLANT: Brock Forsey’s lost stats
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Tuesday, May 5, 2020. What could have been. Seems odd to apply that phrase to Brock Forsey after all he did at Boise State from 1999-2002. But B.J. Rains’ “where are they now” piece on Forsey in the Idaho Press Saturday gives me an excuse to go there. The one-time walk-on…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Albertsons Stadium 50th anniversary, Part VI
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Friday, May 1, 2020. My early-bird celebration to Albertsons Stadium’s 50th anniversary took last Friday off due to the NFL Draft.

SCOTT SLANT: Throwing it back eight months
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Thursday, April 30, 2020. One year ago, spring football was over, and we were starting to track the days until Boise State’s season opener at Florida State on Labor Day weekend. Today, we don’t know what to look forward to yet, so the school went back to that rousing start…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Undrafted free agents do have a shot
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Boise State had three players drafted this year—and two free agents. The UFAs (as undrafted free agents are called), John Molchon and David Moa, can draw inspiration from some famous Broncos of the past. Only three Boise State products have played in 10 or more NFL seasons,…… MORE
