Presented by LOUIE’S PIZZA & ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Monday, January 28, 2019. It’s hard to put too much stock into Boise State’s victory over a team that couldn’t get out of its own way Saturday.

SCOTT SLANT: Could be a ‘below .500’ winter
Presented by BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN. Friday, January 25, 2019. If you believe sports are cyclical, then Boise State hoops is in one of those cycles. The winning season issue is now real for the Broncos, as the loss at Air Force Tuesday night changed the dynamic. Boise State is currently 8-11 with 12 games remaining in…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Kellen Moore and Blue’s Clues at the Pro Bowl
Presented by BACON. Thursday, January 24, 2019. If Kellen Moore is installing the offense for the NFC in the Pro Bowl, can the Dallas offensive coordinator’s job be far behind? It was not Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett, whose staff will lead the NFC squad Sunday in Orlando, nor Dallas tight ends coach Doug Nussmeier,…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: One week later, running on fumes
Presented by BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN. Wednesday, January 23, 2019. Add Boise State to the list of Mountain West teams that have been embarrassed at Air Force this month. The Broncos’ 74-60 loss in an empty Clune Arena was so deflating, you wonder if they just hit the wall after coming so close to beating Nevada last…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The case of the clanging threes
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, January 22, 2019. Boise State now tries to get its mojo back after laying an offensive egg in the 63-53 loss to Fresno State Saturday. Mojo could mean stamina and endurance after a combination of expenditure of energy against Nevada and a relentless Bulldogs press left the Broncos sapped. A symptom…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Trying to dissect the Bulldogs’ defense
Presented by BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN. Friday, January 18, 2019. There are two questions that are, well, intertwined going into the Boise State-Fresno State game Saturday in Taco Bell Arena. Why is San Diego State so wildly inconsistent this season, and why do the Bulldogs seem to be rock-solid consistent? The answer may be new Fresno State…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Wolf Pack is water under the bridge for the Broncos
Presented by BACON. Thursday, January 17, 2019. Boise State doesn’t have much time to feel sorry for itself after the gut-wrenching 72-71 loss to No. 10 Nevada Tuesday night. There’s actually a “big three” that has emerged in the Mountain West this winter—the Wolf Pack, Fresno State and Utah State—and if the Broncos want to…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: These Bronco no-stars have grit
Presented by BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN. Wednesday, January 16, 2019. When the first-team All-Mountain West squad is unveiled in March, it’s unlikely any Boise State players will be on it. There aren’t any bonafide stars on this team. Nevada will have…what? Three? You can’t ask any more of this year’s Broncos than what they gave in Tuesday…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: All hands on deck for the Wolf Pack
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, January 15, 2019. Going into Boise State’s game against Oregon 2½ weeks ago, I talked about the Broncos needing “all their turbines firing” to have any chance at an upset. They didn’t, and the Ducks won 62-50. Tonight No. 10 Nevada comes to town with a much stronger infrastructure than Oregon.…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Broncos answer the halftime wake-up call
Presented by BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN. Monday, January 14, 2019. For a team that spent much of November and December in a fog, Boise State has had one impressive start in Mountain West play. We’ll find out what it all means tomorrow night when No. 10 Nevada comes into Taco Bell Arena, but the Broncos do have…… MORE
