Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Monday, February 11, 2019. First, Alex Hobbs hit a three-pointer. Then Marcus Dickinson made a three. Then Justinian Jessup. And then Derrick Alston. When Alston drained a second trey, Boise State was up 15-0 and was off to the races in 105-57 romp over San Jose State Saturday afternoon in…… MORE

SCOTT SLANT: Stop the late-night madness
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Friday, February 8, 2019. Not to pile on, because I’m not the first one to broach this subject this week. But isn’t it time we did away with 9 p.m. tipoffs on weeknights? We knew it would be bad in Taco Bell Arena Wednesday, but a crowd count of 3,200? (Props…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Reaching the recruiting mountaintop
Presented by LOUIE’S PIZZA & ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Thursday, February 7, 2019. Just two years ago, there were National Letter of Intent Day extravaganzas, with college football fans—at least the recruiting junkies—devouring info on all the new signees. Now that December’s “early signing day” is established, the first Wednesday in February has become anticlimactic. Boise State…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Two middling MW programs meet up
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Wednesday, February 6, 2019. Boise State may have lost by 20 points at Nevada last Saturday, but I would venture to say if the Broncos play the same way tonight versus UNLV, they will win. If they shoot well, score in the 70’s and take care of the ball, they’ll probably…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Call this schedule a ‘rough draft’
Presented by LOUIE’S PIZZA & ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Tuesday, February 5, 2019. It’s a fluid document, but at lease we know which week is which (a lot earlier than normal, I might add). All 12 Boise State football games this season are listed for Saturdays, and 12 kickoff times are “TBA.” But it’s unlikely any of…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Pack has one of those games
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Monday, February 4, 2019. Boise State didn’t play that badly at Nevada Saturday. The Broncos shot 46 percent from the field and 43 percent from three-point land. They were outrebounded by just two and kept their turnover count manageable at 11. But when Nevada has it going the way it did…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Kellen Moore’s amazing NFL fast track
Presented by LOUIE’S PIZZA & ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Friday, February 1, 2019. Well, the question now becomes: will we ever see Kellen Moore wearing college colors again—Boise State or whatever? Dallas made it official Thursday, naming perhaps the most beloved Bronco ever as its offensive coordinator. What could be down the pike for Moore? Jerry Jones,…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: This competition could be a real kick
Presented by BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN. Thursday, January 31, 2019. Until Boise State kicks off against Florida State seven months from today, the lasting memory of Bronco special teams will be the blocked extra point against Fresno State that effectively doomed a Mountain West championship. It wasn’t the kicker so much as the protection, but anxious fans…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: A deceivingly good road win
Presented by LOUIE’S PIZZA & ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Wednesday, January 30, 2019. Boise State had seen plenty of these slip away this season, and indeed, Colorado State made it interesting. But the Broncos closed it out and got a feel-good 70-68 road win Tuesday night at Moby Arena. It happened on the same floor that got…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: On to the ‘Niko & Nico’ show
Presented by BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN. Tuesday, January 29, 2019. A coach’s first year in a program can produce some wild swings, and Niko Medved has experienced that at Colorado State, the team Boise State visits tonight in Mountain West play. The Rams were in disarray one year ago as they were getting ready to part ways…… MORE
