When my family and I went to the San Francisco Giants game last Wednesday, the last thing I expected to see was Tim Lincecum no-hit the San Diego Padres. I chose that particular game only because it was a day game and I was warned the San Francisco nights might get a little cold. By…… MORE

Vandals Go Quiet
When the U of I enters the Sun Belt for football and the Big Sky Conference for everything else 7/1/14, it will be very quietly. I don’t sense they are proud of it. Kind of reminds me of that guy who finally has a date to the prom but they are “just friends.” They have…… MORE
Casey Kasem or Johnny Bench?
From the time I was 10-12 years old I wanted to play professional baseball. It was the time of the "Big Red Machine." Johnny Bench was my favorite player. The Reds won the World Series in 1975 in a classic series with the Red Sox. They would repeat the following year with a sweep of…… MORE
America Is Red White and BLUE
The last few days in the national sports scene have been a Paul J buffet of options. World Cup soccer, NBA finals, NHL Stanley Cup finals and our countries golf championship the US Open.

The debate is: which sport offers the toughest playing surface? Basketball and hockey have consistent surfaces arena to arena.…… MORE
Penalizing Vandals

And, since the school knew they would be getting into a blood bath on the field anyway, I think…… MORE

Lift Fast or Lift More
Power football. Two tight ends and two backs and up the gut we go. How long has it been that Boise State has been able to execute that? One reason they got away from it was to cater to the pocket passing of Kellen Moore. The strength of the team was with the ball in…… MORE
Give me the Boise Open!
Occasionally on Idaho Sports Talk we have debated which minor league sport in Boise is closest to its counterpart in the pros. The Boise Hawks, Idaho Stampede, Idaho Steelheads and Boise State have all sent players to the professional ranks. But when it comes to players who make it to the highest level of their…… MORE
