The Next Big Thing

In the college sports season, every game is the next biggest game. After taking care of San Jose State, the Bronco men's basketball team needs to get on a roll.  The task tonight will be difficult and different.  Air Force teams are unique.  In football they run the option.  In basketball they run the Princeton…MORE

Basketball Woes

The Mountain West basketball season has begun and it hasn't started the way Boise State had hoped.  After an opening win at home against Fresno State, the Broncos have dropped two games in the last second in a row and now head to Nevada for a game tonight against the 4-0 Wolf Pack. Nevada is…MORE

To The Islands!

Both Boise State teams – the football and men's basketball squads – will be in Hawai'i playing games next week.  The basketball team looks to get back on the winning track, facing tough competition in the Diamond Head Classic, after dropping their last two games to Kentucky and St. Mary's.  The football team looks to…MORE

Football To Basketball

The football season is winding down and the basketball season is heating up.  We await word on which bowl the Broncos will be invited to and I think about which one I would most like to go to…and this year the answer is simple.  The Hawai'i Bowl.  I don't think it is going to happen…MORE

Depth Is Important

Boise State has a football program.  It was evident Saturday night in the Nevada game.  You lose your starting quarterback on the first offensive play and find a way to come back after being down 17-7 at the half.  The Broncos came back for a lot of reasons.  Grant Hedrick's play at quarterback improved as…MORE

The Originals

Old guard teams are doing well in this baseball post season.  All four teams that will play in the league championship series are original teams.  The Cardinals and Dodgers are two of the original eight National League teams (although the Dodgers opened for business in Brooklyn) and the Red Sox, Tigers, and Athletics are all…MORE

It’s Time For The Post Season!

The baseball playoffs are just around the corner and I am hoping that the baseball fans of Boise will call the Bob and Murph Show during the post season and talk about what is going on on the diamond.  For the rest of the season, Baseball with Bob a weekly feature moves to Wednesdays on…MORE

What A Difference A Week Makes!

Saturday was a beautiful day at Bronco Stadium.  Chamber of Commerce weather and the home team making plays on offense, defense, and special teams.  And the video board and sound system were as good as advertised. I think what we see in the next two weeks will be much more indicative of how the season…MORE

It’s Almost Time!

The college football season is fast approaching.  Teams are in camp working towards Labor Day weekend openers.  It's always difficult evaluate any team in practice, because if an offense looks good, is it really the offense that is good or is the defense bad.  It is much easier to evaluate which players look better compared…MORE

Trade Deadline Talk

The non-waiver trade deadline has passed with very few moves being made.  Think that says most teams don't have a whole lot of spare parts that will make a difference for someone else to give up valuable prospects.  The biggest trade was the Red Sox getting starting pitcher Jake Peavy in a three way deal…MORE
