Updating The Stadium

I was very glad to see the new scoreboard and sound system move forward at Bronco Stadium.  The Boise State athletic department announced that it will be in place by at least the third home game of the season on September 28. It will be mounted on top of the new football building in the…MORE

Half Way There

The First Half is over – who excels in the Second Half? The 4th of July is generally considered the halfway point in a baseball season.  This season for most teams, they played their 81st game over the weekend.  So today's blog will deal with the first half of the season and what I look…MORE

Will The National League Take The DH?

Saw a story in the Statesman this morning above the box scores and to the left of the standing and today's pitching matchups that I hope isn't true.  The story was titled "Is the DH headed for the NL, too?"  My reaction is I hope not and I hope that the American League would dump…MORE

It’s Boise Hawks Season!

The minor league baseball season starts for the Boise Hawks tonight.  You can hear all of the games with Mike Safford on 1350 the Ticket.  If you are like most fans you'll go to the game and just enjoy it and not no much about the players that are taking the field.  As someone who…MORE

Looking Back At The Baseball Draft

The baseball draft is by far the least publicized and maybe the biggest reason is that the players taken will spend several years in the minors before reaching the major leagues.  In the NFL and the NBA those players drafted will play the very next season and will be major contributors in the league.  For…MORE

Thoughts On The Stanley Cup Playoffs

Last night while watching Jonathan Quick make 25 saves in the LA Kings game seven win over the San Jose Sharks, I got to thinking who might be on Mount Rushmore of players whose games I have called and later when on to greatness in the pros.  While I wasn't the full-time hockey announcer at…MORE

Lefties Are Right

First of all, I want to thank so many of our listeners for coming out to the KBOI Business Breakfast this morning.  It was fun to share several stories about broadcasting and the team's I have covered with those of you in attendance.  It was also great to meet so many Bronco fans who listen…MORE

Bad Week For Baseball

It was a bad week for baseball umpires.  Two badly blown calls in two games last week.  Calls that I don't see how were missed.  These weren't out/safe, or ball/strike that an umpire has to make a snap judgment on.  These were looking at an instant replay for as long as necessary and simply not…MORE

New Football Schedules

The Mountain West recently released the entire 2013 football schedule. In a conference that plays divisions and doesn't play everyone, who you play can play a role in who wins.  Boise State arguably plays the toughest three teams from the West Division – San Diego State, Fresno State, and Nevada – and faces two of…MORE

It’s Never Too Early!

The first month of the baseball season is always interesting. Fans panic when a team gets swept in a three game series. Others get excited when their team wins five or six in a row. To compare it with football, where they play a 16 game regular season, winning one football game would equal a…MORE
