Quote from BSUBass77 on October 21, 2023, 6:37 pmUSU, not long ago was the laughing stock of the MWC. Now they are one of the best teams in the west. I was pretty sure BSU would begin their mid season slump on Thursday, but they came out and beat UNLV, which is better than their record. As I watched the game, I saw the Broncos began to set the middles and the opposite. Paige still got her hits, but it was clear that UNLV had watched plenty of tape and knew how to block her shots. That opened up the slides and the quick sets to the middle. Results Annie Kaminski gets 17 kills on 21 shots (.762) and only one hitting error.
As far as SDSU, they were some close sets, but came down to SDSU being able to block our best player and lack of energy.
Coming up will be Wyoming and then CSU away. If BSU can win one of these games, I will be convinced that our team can compete down the stretch.
Also, a lot of fun watching beach volleyball before and after the indoor game. I missed the softball and several other events on campus.
Go Broncos.

Quote from Bronco7454 on October 22, 2023, 5:40 amI watched the archived video of yesterday's Volleyball match vs U.N.L.V. on the MWC Broadcast streaming channel - just finished watching it a few minutes ago. That match all came down to the 3rd set - luckily Boise State managed to win it 27-25 with I think three straight points in the end.
As I watched the video of that game I was struck by how many people attended the volleyball match vs. the very few people who attended the fall softball game. There must have been at least 10 times as many people (probably more) at the volleyball match over the maybe 30 or so Boise State fans at the fall softball game. There were about as many NNU fans there as there were Boise State fans but I doubt there were 100 people in the stands. I suppose it makes sense as the fall softball game doesn't "count" for anything it's just an exhibition whereas the volleyball counts in the 2023 Mtn West volleyball standings.
What also struck me is I left my home in Nampa yesterday at 10 a.m. - two hours before the softball game was scheduled to begin and when I arrived in the tiny little parking lot at Dona Larsen park - about 10:30 a.m., i.e., 90 minutes before the game - the lot was already 75 % filled and at LEAST half of the vehicles parked there had CALIFORNIA plates. Yet there was NOBODY in the stands and I mean NOBODY.

Quote from BSUBass77 on October 23, 2023, 11:40 amFirst, Saturday's VB game crowd was a little smaller than most of previous ones. I have reserved seats (even though I also have a BSU Sports Pass. I have seen the gym so packed that I am sure the fire code was exceeded. But it really points out growing fan base. These young women are amazing athletes. It is an exciting game with a lot of action. When BSU wins against some really good teams, I am celebrating as much as when our football team wins.
I also think BSU fans are missing out on Gymnastics. They get about 2000 to their meets and that is good, but it is one of the more entertaining colleges sports and very team competitive. This year we will see Cortney Blackson and Emily Lopez who have both scored perfect 10s last year. (sorry for the diversion)
Softball is out of season and they don't post the "next game" info on the website. So it is easy to loose track. I check the tweets and with your updates, I have some awareness. But most fans don't. Plus quite a busy sports day. Tennis, Beach, team volleyball, softball, even some high school sports - hard to keep track of it all.
