SCOTT SLANT: Nevada and all that Jazz
Presented by VETERANS PLUMBING. Friday, January 31, 2020.

SCOTT SLANT: It ended up being a layup
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Thursday, January 30, 2020. It became a game of record book research Wednesday night as Boise State pelted San Jose State 99-71 in ExtraMile Arena. The Broncos just missed posting the first back-to-back 30-point conference wins in school history. They also just missed their fourth 100-point game of the season. And…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Beware of ‘perceptionitis’
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Wednesday, January 29, 2020. Remember when Boise State football coach Bryan Harsin invented the word “perceptionitis” as a warning with New Mexico coming to town in November? The Lobos ended up not being a threat, as the Broncos won 42-9. But “perceptionitis” might be appropriate tonight with San Jose State hoops…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Now it’s Rocky every year
Presented by LIKE NU CAR WASH. Tuesday, January 28, 2020. Boise State fans don’t have to wait until 2021 to see Rocky Long again.

SCOTT SLANT: Does ‘W’ mark the spot?
Presented by LIKE NU CAR WASH. Wednesday, January 22, 2020. One consensus takeaway from Boise State’s truly unbelievable comeback win over Utah State last Saturday night is that it could become a season-maker. That’s an interesting concept moving forward after the most improbable ending of the college hoops season. The 18-point rally was gutty, gritty…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: A guy who knows what it’s all about
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Friday, January 17, 2020. I always felt like Matt Miller had unfinished business at Boise State. His senior year ended unceremoniously with a ligament injury in his leg that finally put him on the shelf for good at the end of September in 2014. At that point Miller was already the…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Broncos go down the hall for OC
Presented by BACON. Thursday, January 16, 2020. Many thought this would happen: Eric Kiesau is Boise State’s new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after serving as the Broncos’ wide receivers coach the past three seasons (he had the title of co-offensive coordinator in 2019).
