SCOTT SLANT: “Like it never even happened”
Presented by BIG BUN DRIVE-IN. Thursday, December 27, 2018. The First Responder Bowl on Wednesday was historic for Boise State and Boston College—for all the wrong reasons.

SCOTT SLANT: Glass half-empty, glass half-full
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Wednesday, December 26, 2018. What lies ahead for Boise State today in the First Responder Bowl? Will it be a sour experience like the one in the 2016 Cactus Bowl, or an exhilarating one like last December’s Las Vegas Bowl? That brings us to followup questions. Is Boise State a better…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Hoping a little ‘Big D’ mojo rubs off
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Monday, December 24, 2018. Boise State players were treated Sunday to a high-energy experience they hope they can carry with them into Wednesday’s First Responder Bowl. The Broncos attended the Dallas-Tampa Bay game at AT&T Stadium and watched the Cowboys beat the Buccaneers 27-20. They especially came to see the former…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Wide receiver prediction comes to fruition
Presented by BACON. Friday, December 21, 2018. It’s amazing to think that there was a general lack of concern before the season on how Boise State would replace Cedrick Wilson at wide receiver.

SCOTT SLANT: ‘Twas six days before Christmas
Presented by BACON. Wednesday, December 19, 2018. Today is college football’s early signing day. Boise State has 14 known commitments heading into the early period, which goes through Friday.

SCOTT SLANT: Talkin’ ACC-level talent in the First Responder Bowl
Presented by LIKE NU CAR WASH. Tuesday, December 18, 2018. As we get to know the Boston College Eagles ahead of the First Responder Bowl, we can start with their Senior Bowl representatives.

SCOTT SLANT: This team needs every single pieces-part
Presented by BBSI. Monday, December 17, 2018. Boise State had only one of its top three scorers perform up to snuff Saturday night, and it doomed the Broncos in a 66-54 loss at Oregon. Alex Hobbs matched a career-high with 21 points, 16 of them in the first half, and drilled five three-pointers. A flurry…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Reminiscing on Boise State-Boston College, 2005
Presented by BACON. Thursday, December 13, 2018. I’ve emceed a bunch of things over the years (one one-hundredth, maybe, of Mark Johnson’s load, but anyway…). My favorite event I’ve ever emceed was the Boise State Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony last April. My least favorite was the Humanitarian Awards Dinner for the 2005 MPC Computers…… MORE
