Boise State Broncos: The Rodney Dangerfield Of College Football
By Lace Banachek | Boise State Gameday Correspondent
Rodney Dangerfield once said, “I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.” Unfortunately that is the way most sports media and their fans look at the Boise State Broncos. They think the Broncos only appear, as winners because they are in a conference of losers, and many people believe the BSU athletic director prefers it that way.
However, regardless of the Bronco A D’s poor game scheduling and lack of guts to play Boise State against BCS foes with no return game or two for one, The Broncos have proven themselves winners and worthy time and time again. Furthermore, Boise State starting winning long before Gene Bleymaier and Boise States arrival in college footballs division 1 cellar conference the western athletic conference (WAC).
Sure the Broncos like any other college football conference have showed in the past un-quality like play, albeit, that is not said of them today. Last season under the guidance of brilliant coaching and the cool operation of a redshirt freshman quarterback the Broncos finished their season undefeated and beating a very fine Oregon Duck team in Eugene Oregon on their way.
Boise States only downfall last season was a one-point loss to TCU, and that may have been the very best TCU team ever to take the field. They were great and yet Boise State lost by just one point and it didn’t have to end that way either. The Broncos play hard fought football and man for man they line up amongst the very best college football teams in the nation.
This season BSU going into the third week of college play are perfect (2-0), and they open the Boise State conference with a game against Fresno State. Sure Fresno State has played brilliantly their first two games; Pat Hill coaches them, and they live in California where the sun always shines. That alone is most likely the reason that Hill is always tough early on.
But this is not the normal Bronco football team. Boise State has built a powerhouse and they are deeper at any position then they have ever been. Don’t be surprised if the Broncos do what Wisconsin could not and that is keep the Bulldogs from scoring or at least scoring very much. Yet, know this for sure, Fresno State will not contain the Broncos to a measly 34 points. This will be a smooth win for BSU and that’s another story. Go Broncos.
