Two Weeks in A Row...another podcast

JT from BNP and Obnug Intern from the Obnug message boards are discussing the missed tackles during the Fresno game, the D.J. Harper injury and how thick Winston Venable is. Also briefly mentioned is the impending Bowling Green Falcons matchup featuring QB Tyler Sheehan.

I am venturing a 58-14 BSU beatdown....only way the score is lower is if B.G. dinks and dunks down the field and wastes time and keeps Kellen and his soldiers off the battlefield.

Legarrette Blount Tribute?

Will be watching the recap of the BSU game from this past weekend and while we have seen plenty of big plays, I will look for the weird, wacky and unknown!

Before #25 Hunter White made the opening kick off tackle, I noticed this interesting tidbit on the wrist tape job of the aforementioned #25. Dare I say a nod to Legarette Blount? Highly doubtful being 2 weeks post brouhaha, but you never know!

Freshman Matt Ziesel scores a touchdown against Maryville. Below is a little write-up from the Ziesel family for those of you not familiar with Matt: Matt is a special athlete who has Down Syndrome. He loves football and has grown up in an environment surrounded by sports. His father is a coach/ athletic director, and all his siblings play sports. He grew up at athletic events, and has always been a cheerleader. He registered as a freshman at Benton High School -Saint Joseph, MO this year, and told his mother and father he wanted to play football. The team takes good care of looking after Matt, and he is still the cheerleader on the sidelines. He puts his pads and helmet on, stands next to Coach McCamy and waits for his turn to play. Over and over during the course of the game Matt will say, “Coach McCamy, I am ready! I am ready Coach!” On this Monday night coach gave him a chance. The Cardinals were down by a few touchdowns with 15 seconds left. Coach McCamy called a timeout and asked the coach of Maryville High School if they could run their “Matt Play”. He agreed and this is where the video begins. Thanks to Coach McCamy and the freshman coach at Maryville, Matt and his family will cherish his moment forever!

The above podcast reflects JT from BroncoNationPodcast, Obnug Intern and myself genuflecting on last week's dominant performance against the Miami not of Florida. Logan from the Fresno State side of things, also gets involved on the podcast and throws in his two cents...

The Future

My thoughts are that the Broncs will defeat the Bulldogs of Fresno State 30-21. Hard fought game....
The scariest thing is where is the annual hype for the Fresno Squad? There is no such preseason hype and this might allow the Bulldogs to recapture that blue collar chip on the shoulder that the Central Cali kids might need. Coach Pat Hill is truly capturing the underdog role right now and had a legit chance at upsetting Wisconsin last week. In my eyes, the Bulldogs ruined their chances in upsetting the Badgers and could not finish. Will that tough road loss reflect on their tough battle against the #10 ranked Broncs? This is why they play the game....
Predictions- Kellen has his usual 2 throws that reach pay dirt, one to Shoemaker and one to a tight end- pick one, any one of them but probably Gallarda. The other two will be rushing by any of the three headed hydra known as Avery-Harper-Martin. The remaining two points will come via the safety route by a sack from Glass Joe Hout (I still think 99.9% of Americans would have buckled like Glass Joe after the cheap shot by Blount. I am surprised Blount has not transferred to a Junior College in order to keep playing.)
As for the nickname of the Boise State Defense.....BluNami was the one selected by BroncoCountry.com members....the Statesman has some sort of contest mimicking the challenge for submitted entries for the Defense to have a nickname. Not sure I care as much as the production continues like it has been.

Enjoy the game....and if you attend the game, watch you back for skanks and shanks!

Legarrette Blount is a Punk Bitch

Oregon head coach must be really proud that his first game as Oregon head coach ends up with the best smack/hit is by his non-existent running back sucker punching a Bronco after the game. High class in Autzen. Embarrassing as a program and as a head coach. Anything less than Blount being kicked off the team is an even more embarrassment to the Phil Knight Ducks. Video to follow.....if Youtube does not ban it!

If it walks like a Duck......

The old gang got together for one more attempt at reaching interplanetary success or at least North American Dominance, and created another version of a podcast- focusing on BSU v. Oregon. Thanks to JT at BroncoNationPodcast for hooking up the 1's and 2's, and Drew from OBUNG for still pimpin' after all these years.....

Cliff notes version, I am venturing a guess of 35-30 victory towards the Broncos way...However I am really worried about the revenge/motivation factor from the Ducks. It is difficult to beat a Top-15 team in back to back years.....It will be a battle of epic proportions, just ask the hype machine that is revolving around this game. I will say Kellen throws 3 td's, Avery and Harper have a running td each. Please send your best Ducks Crashing pics/cliches and I will gladly place them on this blog.


Sidenote- Enjoyed a ridiculous weekend in Vegas for our Fantasy Football Draft....If you can imagine, it happened. Yes, the movie The Hangover was a goal and in some people's eyes we accomplished what we set it out to do. If you ever need to stay at ( or near) the Bellagio, I discovered a lovely timeshare-influenced place called the Jockey Club. Do not bother googling it, just take a flyer and decide to stay there on a whim next time. Can not beat the price of admission......

The main reason we headed down there was for a fantasy football draft....which lead to chicanery and debauchery ( not to mention a visit to Rehab- in which we saw ESPN's Matthew Berry hanging out at- and a few other Vegas clubs). I was voted as having the single worst draft, which was not the worst thing I was voted on having all weekend.....That being said, I did throw a parlay with BSU -5, Utah -20.5, and Nevada +14 .....hopefully this will hit really big and I can win back a 1/10 of what I spent down there. Hate to end it on a negative note but if smell/see/taste a f'ing red bull again, I will self implode.
