Is this the missing evidence in the Deonte Jackson misdemeanor battery case? Is this proof that the Vandals are encouraged to pimp slap their own brethren?
Statue Left: Did you, Coach Akey, order the CODE RED on the unidentified player, specifically carried out by Deonte Jackson?
Akey: .......No I prefer Diet Mountain Dew......
Running Back Deonte Jackson, who has more rushing yards than Ian Johnson, has found himself in trouble. Up on the Palouse, where a average running back can beat up/or pimp slap a teammate ( who does not want to be identified), then not even get suspended while misdemeanor charges are file......it seems that Akey has his ducks in a row. First he gets lauded for running off the bad seeds with in the last year.....and took the loss of scholarships due to the bad seeds. Now when his star ( use this term relatively) running back is in trouble, the player does not get suspended. What gives.......
That being said, I know their will be some Vandal Trolls who stated, " Better be careful when throwing stones in glass houses".....
My only response is that the head coach at Boise State University has suspended a few players, regardless of playmaking ability, and you would think this approach has limited further transgressions. Maybe after the trouncing this weekend in the airport hanger, Coach Akey can get in Coach Pete's ear and see about a lil guidance. 
Bad timing by the unidentified player for bringing up charges on your own running back. You briging this up during " Hate Boise State' week? Which one of these greased up muscleheads ( see pic above) is the one who snitched? Maybe this article got him fired up....a year and a day before the Code Red went down!

Who ordered the Code Red?
Idaho Vandals...are they a relevant rival anymore?
Some would/could debate the need for the Vandals on the schedule. Essentially they are a Div-1AA Big Sky team playing in the WAC since their step-brother to the south remains in the WAC. For the last 7-10 years, I have wondered if this matchup remains a hate-filled rivalry game. The fans new to the Treasure Valley would/could say that this is not a rivalry game simply because the Vandals usually get blown out. Any fan who remembers THE STREAK will casually remind those rookie fans that there is plenty of payback left to dole out......
I will never forget the fake punt against an ailing Pokey Allen.
I will never forget the gutsy playcalling of Chris Tormey....still the best game I have ever seen where the Broncos lost at home.
I will never forget the last game of the Skip Hall era where Idaho just straight trounced the Broncos.
Those are the negatives of the rivalry that still makes some of the fans blood boil......What other memories do you have? Does this game matter? When BSU moves to the Mountain West Conference, will the Idaho game even matter?
Feel free to comment

Ross Davis ....the new Alexis Serna
Sept. 4 2004 was the date of infamy for kicker Alexis Serna. He missed multiple extra points and Nick Satan escaped with a victory. Serna was a youngster ( redshirt frosh) that late summer night and luckily for him, the team took him home instead of making him walk back to Beaverville.*
Now on Nov. 06 2008, poor TCU true freshman kicker, Ross Davis, cost his team with two missed field goals down the stretch ( not to mention his fellow defensive teammates letting the Utes gallop down the field for a winning score. Ross Davis did not drop an easy interception, miss a sack at midfield and have a costly pass interference call. Ross Davis did not call for the backer/ safety to play loose coverage on a tight end when it was 4th and 5. So much for the vaunted TCU defense.) .While rumors of Ross Davis's gaffe forcing Coach Patterson's hand and moving on to Kansas State, what does the crystal ball hold for young Ross Davis. I am pretty sure a Lou Groza Award is not in the future.
*Look at the names in this college game, Derek Anderson, Jamarcus Russell, Dwayne Bowe...not bad company.
* Serna has overcome
So more importantly, this gaffe by Ross Davis reminded me of Alexis Serna on that fateful day, down on the Bayou. If memory serves me correct, I was actually down south for that game and watched it a bar on Dauphin Street in Mobile, Al. Here is the blurred memory of that day.......
That day, some coworkers and I had be flown out of Orlando to escape one of the Hurricanes that ravaged the South in the fall of 2004. While the company was paying us to stick it out in Mobile, the boys and I headed down to the bar scene to catch the LSU game. J F'ing G, Doug the Tuna, Longhorn, Gymballs and I were just moseying down the road and trying to find a bar that would show the LSU game. However unbeknownst to me, the Alabama game ( I think it was the same game that the QB hurt his shoulder really bad, and might have been Brodie Coyle) was going on that night and all of the bars worth a damn were showcasing that game. Word to the wise, in Alabama, you do not touch a Bama fan's tv when the game is on or you will entertain certain death. So we head out, stumble across the street to a bar that had virtually no business.
Wondering why, we asked the Bartender; " Why no business?" I believe that the Bama game was on a certain cable channel or might have been on ESPN Gameplan and this bartender did not pay for the game.....JFG, Tuna, Longhorn and I ears perked up and we asked, " Would you mind if we watched the LSU game?".....The sober bartender shrugged and had no objections. We quickly found out that the bar did not have an adequate kitchen ( maybe not at all) and we ordered up pizza and had it delivered to the bar. We watched the agonizing game and finally Serna pulled a Scott Norwood and the game was over. At this point, the lads must have been mainlining red bull and vodkas, since the crew was primed for the Mobile/Dauphin Street nightlife. I slightly remember playing Golden Tee for a dime a stroke .....pretty sure I never ended up paying my buddies off.
Ended up crashing at Tuna's hotel room about 330am, only to get a phone call in 5 hours, that I had to turn around and drive back to Jacksonville. The plan was to stay the night in J-ville, before heading to Orlando. We were instructed that we had to be the first responders for our lil insurance company, to make sure, our customers knew that we ( catastrophe team adjusters) were there for them in there time of need.
Another tip of the day- driving that far on no sleep, hungover from hell and in a lovely lil Ford Taurus rental car, is not recommended.
Long story made even longer, here is the follow up to that trip to Jacksonville. My buddy, Longhorn and I, ran point on the trek back to Jacksonville. Longhorn and I led a 10 vehicle caravan through Hurricane weather (Rain-X has my full endorsement) staying connected through walkie talkies. At one point during the dead of night, a tree had fallen on eastbound I-10in the "hammer down" lane , and this basement-dwelling blogger came with a few feet of instant death ( or at least certain pain). I quickly swerved and avoided the tree and multiple cars went off the pavement and onto the gravel shoulder. We all thought we were lucky to be alive. Earlier on that day, we had driven by a double fatal accident on eastbound I-10, which happen to be the relatives of Florida State coach Bobby Bowden. I will never forget the tarp the emergency workers were raising as we drove by, as they tried respect/shield the bodies inside the wreckage. Horrific wreck.
As Queen would sing....the show must go on. I am predicting a 55-7 blowout in the Boise State vs Utah State. Nothing more to add.......the WAC competition is disgusting. The WAC itself ( no pun intended) remains the only opponent that could keep Boise State out of the BCS bowl series. Forget the Aggies, Wolfpack, Vandals or the always overrated bulldogs of Fresno State.
Enjoy the weekend and maybe the magic ride of Mike Leach and his Texas Tech Red Raiders will survive another tough opponent in Oklahoma State. I mean after all, their coach is a MAN, right?

How does Jesse Palmer pull off this impression of
Lil Jon ft. Ying Yang twins...with "drop the fanny...and get low"! Here is the clip from ESPN
Have to love the former Bachelor dropping knowledge on how to defend a 280 lb running QB......
That lovely video of the dolt with the hair ( Jesse Palmer, yes you have perfect talking head hair...much like Dan Patrick) led into this basement-dwelling blogger to turn into the TCU/UTAH defensive bloodbath. There was so much inefficiency on offense through the first 40 minutes plus, I actually started to think this was chinese checkers game of field position and then the TCU kicker* shanked two makeable kicks. (I am sure the kicker is walking home through the Rocky Mountains as we speak. ) 
Then the Brian Johnson show began and TCU played the patented prevent (your team from winning ) defense. Next thing you know, Brian Johnson escapes a sack, few easy completions and then after an easy post pattern reception, a quick 5 yard trot into the endzone, the Utes were back in the BCS picture. I actually thought Utah was going to choke at the end and this would have been a perfect game for BOISE STATE fans since the game was unappealing to the BCS bowl game reps ( as far as offensive flash) and that BSU would continue to pour gasoline on the porous WAC teams defense. I can see now how the scores for the next few games will get out of hand, not to run up the score but out of necessity. This necessity of running up the score will further enhance BSU's run at a legit BCS bowl game.
*Never have been a fan of kickers and these two huge shanks by true freshman #37 Ross Davis, just reaffirms that my son will not grow up to be a kicker.
* received an email from a reader who brought up this sidenote: Obama wins the election and then Utah goes with the Black Out...coincidence. Not only that, Colin Cowherd mentioned that McDonald's brought back the McRib as well.....coincidence!
Random Coincidence of the Day
Last night some of the basement dwelling podcasters had another gathering of the druids ( reminiscent of Stonehenge) and we were joined by Alex Guerrero, former D Tackle extraordinaire, who just so happened to sign up with the AFL2 Boise Burn.
Through much discourse and rolling of 20sided die, a casual question came about concerning the Boise State coaches frowning upon blogs....blah blah blah. This led into, what do the coaches think of myspace and facebook? Alex supplied some off the cuff answers and let us basement dwellers enjoy in the honesty. Ironically, this lil news flash out of University of Texas, where a man with a great first name, put up a ( insert any idiotic free speech adjectve here) post on facebook with his kindest regards towards the President-elect. Props to Deadspin for the link
Thankfully, this type of chicanery is limited ( hopefully) and these kids on campus will realize that there are those that search for these type of troubling inflammatory remarks/pictures on the world wide web. Just a reminder to the kids out there.....that whatever you read/see on the Internet must be true........
These ridiculous comments posted on the world wide web are not limited to hillbilly rednecks with the Christian name of Buck. Oh no, check this site and the latest on Caitlyn Davis who got canned from the Patriots cheerleading squad over some similar idiotic facebook discoveries....
Stay true to yourself, keep ripping bicep curls so your tattoo looks more impressive and keep rolling that 20sided see-thru die.
Also want to add that some football announcer for the Utah Utes, Hans Olsen ( who might be from Idaho actually), was on the local radio show here in Boise, and stated that the Utah Utes are busting out the all black jerseys and the fans are coming to the stadium, Rice Eccles, with all black attire. Please cue the racist "black out" references to the stadium and the state of Utah. It must be in the water.........some blogger out there will catch this irony and put it out on the blogsphere for some some sophomoric humor. Hopefully the shots of fans wearing "black face" will not be seen on ESPN....err.....Versus......errr....The MTN......err, CBS College Sports, yes that is the channel that 12% of the nation can watch. By the way, for the lucky 12% channel 613 on Directv is the place to be 8pm edt. Your gathering to watch THE OFFICE will have to be put aside.
