ANNOUNCEMENT: This account will now be a homage to great plays of Boise State past & present.
Let's kick off the fun with one of my all-time faves:
Kellen Moore fake fumble on 4th&1 vs Oregon in '08 (duplicated by Rypien '15 vs Hawaii).
(All recordings found have that skip)
@Jay_Tust And one of the most impressive/important parts of all of this in my mind is the absolutely CLUTCH 6/6 FT in the final 0:14 and 8/8 in the final 1:03 of the game.
The ability to step up to the line, with the game on the line, in that environment, and nail every FT?
Absolute ICE!
But viewership is up and FBS has never been so popular…Indiana won so we are in a great place competitively 🤔😈
Professional athletes coming back to compete in college basketball to get paid. Endless lawsuits and more coming. CFP and P2 slowly removing G6 from conversation and at minimum pricing majority of FBS institutions out (only a matter of time ACC & Big12). Endless years of eligibility. Etc. Etc.
What started as true NIL (which I agree with including paying SAs) has turned into something else.
The runway for most schools is short…system is not sustainable and we are 💯 living insanity. The bottom is when you stop digging. Solutions exist like collective bargaining…would provide accountability and defined expectations and guardrails for all parties (agents, SAs, coaches and institutions). Federal solution won’t happen anytime soon IMO.
The #1 difference between us and professional leagues is our “why”…preparing our next generation for life. We are doing those we serve a disservice and hindsight will be too late.
ADs, commissioners, head coaches, college athletics fans, donors and alums need to be vocal. We represent something bigger than ourselves…a greater purpose.
Take off the blinders. Leaders need to step up and do what is right. 🙏🏼
@ChargerBones Grew angrier and angrier as I was editing this video having to watch him spike that ball over and over knowing it led to us not even scoring on that gift of a gaff by BYU.
Received an unexpected call December 26, 2020…Became a Bronco 5 years ago tonight.
A month later, these guys were running out of the tunnel onto the Blue 🔵
This role, @BroncoSports TEAM, community and Bronco Nation changed our lives forever 💙
God is always in control…Trust the process 🙏🏼 Honored to lead, humbled to serve and extremely grateful to be a Bronco 💙
We represent something bigger than ourselves…We love our TEAM, Bronco Nation and our amazing community!
“Failure is not our destiny!” We believe in epic! More to do…Always What’s Next! #BleedBlue #BuiltDifferent
No coincidences 👀 Consistent messaging. They are being honest…believe them when they say it because this is what the powers to be want.
Self perpetuating cycle. The system they created benefits them more than others and they expect us to be happy with the scraps…now they want the scraps too.
Danny Kanell: “But at the same time it is crystal clear the best outcome for everyone is to have a Group of 5 playoff and crown their own national champion.”
Joel Klatt: “I genuinely feel bad for these JMU players…they are a good football team who should be competing for a national championship on the appropriate level…”
Nick Saban: “Look, would we allow the winner of the Triple-A baseball league … in the World Series playoffs? That’s the equivalent of what we do when JMU gets into the College Football Playoff and Notre Dame doesn’t. I mean, I don’t want to start any shit here, but it is what it is.”
Joel Klatt: "We don't want Cinderellas. We want the best teams playing each other at the end... The NCAA basketball tournament is a joke. It's the dumbest tournament and the least fair tournament in all of sports.”
Time to be bold…fanbases need to be heard…leaders need to be vocal…how much does this matter to the communities, alumni and institutions we represent…so let’s hear you 😈🙏🏼
YOU ALREADY KNOW...
#9 Boise State vs #7 Oklahoma
👑 2007 Fiesta Bowl 👑
BSU-43
OKLAHOMA-42
✅ Hook & Ladder on 4th & 18 to force OT
✅ HB pass on 4th for TD in OT
✅ Statue Right 2-pt Conversion to win
✅ Marriage Proposal to Head Cheerleader
💥 This game HAD. IT. ALL! 💥
What am I missing…where are the blinders? No particular order. Obviously easier said than done but solutions exist.
- FBS no longer under NCAA (understand NCAA takes brunt of litigation…we can stop the bleeding)
- FBS commissioner
- If split division, promotion and relegation
- Expand CFP
- Move bowl games to zero week
- Unite media rights
- Transfer portal moved to end of spring
- Spring ball moved to July
- Collective bargaining
- True cap…no more money through front AND back door
- Authentic NIL done by SAs as wanted/needed…not run through departments
- To become an FBS agent, you must complete a certification process
Always a solution...at minimum worth a discussion. The front porch of our communities and states have too much value…we represent something bigger than ourselves 🙏🏼 Reset the table.
Our “why” is still to prepare student-athletes for life! 🎓
Insanity isn’t the solution. The bottom is when you stop digging 😈
Sept 7, 2024
Boise State at Oregon
Down 20-27 in the 4Q, Notarainni recovered a fumble at BSU's 30.
Ashton Jeanty happened next.
Jeanty split the D, turned on the jets, and ran away from a B1G secondary untouched for the 70-yd TD run!
Jeanty would finish with 192yds, 3 TDs
Man, if Madsen doesn't get hurt there's a really good chance Boise State is 11-2 right now and getting that 5th playoff spot.
This was the year the chaos could've really helped us slip in, but 1-2 too many losses this time around.
Boise State QB Maddux Jeter Madsen is one of six siblings in his family to be named after baseball players
His brothers are Mick, McGwire, Mays, and Murphy, with his sister named Macee Joe. His dad Eric Madsen, was the head baseball coach at Utah Valley University for 13 years
I absolutely love this TEAM!❤️
So thankful for our players!🤝
So thankful for our staff!🤝
So thankful for Bronco Nation‼️🔵
Thank you Jesus! ✝️
3 Peat!!!!!!!!🏆🏆🏆
