Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Tuesday, January 2, 2018. UNLV had wanted to make a statement as it opened Mountain West play Saturday night at Thomas & Mack Center. And the Rebels appeared to be on the way when they stretched their lead to six points early in the second half. But then the Broncos launched…… MORE

Say it ain’t so, Steve
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Friday, December 29, 2017. One of the most important figures on Bryan Harsin’s coaching staff at Boise State will have to be replaced, if—that’s if—a Little Rock sports-talk radio report (KABZ 103.7 “The Buzz”) that Steve Caldwell is headed for Arkansas is true. It says Caldwell’s hiring will be announced after…… MORE
Role players roll, then Hutch goes clutch
Presented by HOFFMAN AUTO BODY. Thursday, December 28, 2017. Calling Marcus Dickinson and Alex Hobbs role players does the Boise State sophomores a disservice, because we’re talkin’ big roles this season. But when starters Chandler Hutchinson and Lexus Williams had to sit early last night with two fouls apiece, Dickinson and Hobbs did their thing…… MORE
Mountain West is better – Broncos have contributed
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Wednesday, December 27, 2017. Mountain West play is here. And if Boise State is going to be a conference champion, it has to regain its mojo, beginning tonight against Colorado State in Taco Bell Arena. The Broncos’ marksmanship from three-point land has tailed off dramatically the last two games, and that’s…… MORE
Vander Esch bus set to put on more miles
Presented by BACON. Friday, December 22, 2017. (TOM SCOTT’S COLUMN WILL RETURN WEDNESDAY.) Leighton Vander Esch’s “Baby Giraffe” nickname all but disappeared once Boise State’s 2017 football season started. Maybe somebody around the NFL will resurrect it next summer, as he has decided to forego his senior year with the Broncos and enter the draft.…… MORE
No Power 5 raids—and lots of ink
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Thursday, December 21, 2017. Early in the afternoon, Boise State was 17-for-17 in signing its current list of known commitments for the 2018 recruiting class. Then it became 19-for-19 when two unknowns materialized. Maybe that’s the new normal as the first early-signing day is in the books. Of course, the…… MORE
What are the early-signing expectations today?
Presented by BACON. Wednesday, December 20, 2017. With the dawn of NCAA Football’s first-ever early-signing day, we go into the great unknown. What’s going to be a good batting average? Will it be 50 percent…75 percent? And will it all happen today, or will it be spread out over the three-day window (through Friday night)?…… MORE
Will LVE now take his TFL’s to the NFL?
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Tuesday, December 19, 2017. Leighton Vander Esch is just relentless, and that trait has caused a paradigm shift in speculation over whether the Boise State star linebacker will enter the NFL Draft as a junior. Vander Esch just won’t stop one-upping himself on the field, turning in 12 tackles, three…… MORE
Boise State was flat-out ready to play
Presented by BACON. Monday, December 18, 2017. I had a lot of time to think about what to lead with after Boise State destroyed Oregon 38-28 in the Las Vegas Bowl Saturday (the score, of course, doesn’t represent the Broncos’ dominance). The takeaway is what a stellar coaching job it was by the Boise State…… MORE
Some supporting actors need to earn Oscars
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Friday, December 15, 2017. Okay, I’m just makin’ this up, but based on NFL terminology for injury reports, I’d say Boise State’s Alexander Mattison is doubtful for the Las Vegas Bowl against Oregon tomorrow, and Jake Roh is questionable. We’re going on the assumption here that Mattison won’t be able…… MORE
