BNN LIVE: Talking Boise State and Mountain West basketball with Rains and Tust
You may not have noticed, but Wednesday was National Signing Day for the class of 2025. With the addition of the early signing window, the traditional signing day has lost a bit of its luster. Over 80% of D1 commits signed in the early signing window, but Boise State still saw an eventful day with…
With the National Championship over a week in the rear-view mirror, College Football is in the thick of “way-too-early” prediction season. Way-too-early CFP predictions, way-too-early Top 25’s, way-too-early conference predictions; so many early predictions, why not let BNN get in on the fun? As with all way-too-early lists, I can’t be held accountable for any…
Now seems like a good time to have a serious conversation about football and religion, but first a confession: I go to church once a year – on the Sunday they sing Christmas songs. I also have a brother, a close, loving brother who is one of the most important people in my life. He’s…
The 2024 season is in the books for the Boise State Broncos. The Broncos finished 12-2 and earned their first appearance in the College Football Playoffs, earning a bye and a trip to the Quarterfinals. The season ended with a 31-14 defeat to Penn State, but it will still be remembered as one of the…
Boise State saw its season end on New Year’s Eve with a 31-14 loss to Penn State. The scoreline didn’t accurately reflect how tight the game was. The Broncos had more yards/play and led in EPA/play, but Boise State shot itself in the foot too many times. The Broncos finished with four turnovers, two missed…
GLENDALE, Ariz. – It wasn’t supposed to end this way. Despite being double-digit underdogs heading into Tuesday’s College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup with Penn State at the Fiesta Bowl, many believed Boise State would shock the college football world once again. It felt like destiny – with the Broncos back in the Fiesta Bowl and…
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Boise State coach Spencer Danielson spoke from the heart just hours after the College Football Playoff bracket was revealed three weeks ago. He had no idea what his quote would become. But he’s also not backing down. “Definitely didn’t plan on it becoming a shirt, I can promise you that,” Danielson said.…
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Boise State players posed for pictures with the Fiesta Bowl trophy during a media day event Sunday morning at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn in Scottsdale. And it just felt right. It just had to be the Fiesta Bowl, right? Boise State’s debut appearance in the College Football Playoff Tuesday in the…
The Boise State football team is three wins away from a National Championship. Crazy, but true. What was once a pipe dream is now a possibility for Bronco Nation, but it will start with a victory against Penn State. The Broncos are 3-0 all-time in the Fiesta Bowl, but Penn State is the lone team…
Details of a new five-year contract for athletic director Jeramiah Dickey have surfaced, as the deal will go for approval from the State Board of Education on Wednesday. Dickey will make $3.2 million in guaranteed compensation over the five-year deal in base salary, retention bonuses and housing allowances. Boise State president Dr. Marlene Tromp announced…
Boise State will take a four-game winning streak into Saturday’s road game at San Diego State. Here’s five takeaways on the Broncos’ improved play of late: Boise State basketball is turning a corner Nineteen days ago the Boise State’s men’s basketball team lost on a late game winner against Colorado State that Leon Rice called…
BOISE – Emmanuel Ugbo couldn’t really complain about starting but only getting a few minutes of action per game the past few games. But he knew there was something he could do about it. Ugbo made his fourth consecutive start Friday night and had arguably his best game of the season, scoring 12 points and…
LAS VEGAS – Alvaro Cardenas knew nobody probably believed him when he said two weeks ago that Boise State could still win the Mountain West regular season crown. He knows many probably still don’t give them much of a chance. But after Boise State’s third straight win – a 71-62 road win at UNLV on…
A week and a half ago Boise State’s season hit, in the words of Leon Rice, rock bottom. The Broncos lost on a late game winner to Colorado State and fell to 13-7 and 5-4 in Mountain West play. The Mountain West preseason favorites seemed on the edge of disaster and Leon promised serious changes.…
BOISE – What a difference 10 days can make. Barely a week after Boise State coach Leon Rice declared it ‘rock bottom’ for his team following a second straight road loss at Colorado State, the Broncos have since responded with a pair of impressive home wins against Nevada and Fresno State. Saturday it was a…
Late Wednesday night Boise State capped of a 66-56 win over Nevada that felt like a fork in the road for two programs off to slow starts in conference play. For Nevada, they fell to 3-7 in Mountain West play and looked like a team that had lost its last chance at turning around this…
Javan Buchanan didn’t move into the starting lineup like many expected Wednesday night against Nevada. He still played 30 minutes – and he was Boise State’s leading scorer. Buchanan came off the bench to score a team-high 19 points to lead Boise State to a 66-56 win at ExtraMile Arena. Alvaro Cardenas had 18 points…
Boise State suffered its fourth loss in the last six games against Colorado State on Wednesday night. Leon Rice called it “rock bottom” as the Broncos fell to 5-4 in conference play, and likely need to finish 11-0 for an at-large bid. The Broncos fell down by as many as 17 points before battling back…
FORT COLLINS, Colo – Leon Rice has seen enough. Or maybe, not enough. Boise State’s 15th year coach, stuck in one of the toughest and weirdest predicaments of his career, vowed to make big changes to his lineup and rotation moving forward after a 75-72 heartbreaking road loss to Colorado State at Moby Arena. The…
Boise State was picked to win the Mountain West for the first time in program history and now sits at 13-6 and a long shot for the NCAA Tournament. So, where do the Broncos go from here? Now that we’re four days removed from the disaster in New Mexico, here are three things Bronco Nation…
