Play of the Year....

....for the Broncos of Boise State, I believe is the two point try in the Nevada game, the day after Turkey Day. The second touchdown in the first 7 minutes of the game proved costly. The snap was to Austin Pettis who scrambled around and eventually was taken down 2 yards short of the goal line. While the missed conversion attempt was moderately unimportant, the related injury to Austin Pettis was very significant. Yes, the Broncos rallied to finish off the Wolfpack that night on ESPN, and later the next week, dominate the Aggies of New Mexico State. The Broncos captured the W.A.C. trophy once more, but all along every fan(fanatic) worried about the health of #2. The key receiver in the highest scoring offense was down for perhaps the rest of the year. Surgery for a broken ankle/leg bone was to commence and the chances of the Broncos, remaining undefeated, took a hit. The remaining wide receiver corps, collectively, was banged up and inexperienced. Due to these worries, I think this play could be deemed the Play of the Year.
Yes, one might say, the awesome hit by Winston Venable on Fresno State's Ryan Colburn might qualify. Also in the same game, Titus Young's hustle to recover a fumble in the endzone for a touchdown was also very key. Local Blogmeister/BSU historian, Tom Scott, believes the Billy Winn safety in the Oregon game is clearly the big play.
Here we have the video of the two point play, where Pettis got injured. Somewhat non-descript play....maybe showing Pettis getting up slowly.

Here we have the ESPN announcers discussing the revelation that Pettis could be hurt and the Coach Pete theory of going for two point conversions......


Would love to see Austin Pettis rebound for the BCS game against TCU. Hence, the Christmas wish for Santa dropping off a hyperbaric chamber at his house in hopes of a quicker recovery.

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas to all......and to all a ......(insert whatever you want right here)!

Poor Surfing Santa is empty handed! Hope Santa brought Austin Pettis a much needed hyperbaric chamber!

Coach Poaching?

update....all speculative opinion and no truth to this thought process With the departure of Coach Hauck from Montana to UNLV, and the reported interest of Boise State's Brent Pease***, above, heading to Montana, could there be another BSU coach heading that way? If any dominoes fall into place, I can see this man, below, return to the state of Montana and end up in the Defensive Coordinator position! Just sayin'...but I hope this does not come to fruition, and this is just the eggnog talking!

*** Raise your hand if you knew Pease was from Mountain Home?

In a completely unrelated thought, I think BYU gets rocked tonight....Jacquizz shows up and smashes the Cougs. Beavs 39 Cougs 21

Never want to see this again

While perusing the Red Zone Channel today, there were murmurs of a security issue involving laser pointers being used on the Raiders players in Denver. I clicked the appropriate channel and after the shenanigans were nixed in the crowd, the very next play involved tomfoolery only Tiger Woods would enjoy! Frightful commentary ensues....If you are so inclined, follow Raiders #93. Poor Knownshow Moreno gets no love on this blog.....

If you want to call into the podcast and leave a message for your prediction of the Fiesta Bowl score, do so at 208-991-2672.............Thanks for JT ( for not editing my brain cramp) and to Tyler for laughing at my horrible Tiger joke at the end. About 26 minutes in or so, you get my take/rant on the idiotic ways the Boise State fans get hosed while buying Fiesta Bowl tix through BSU. Revolution commence in 3..2...1....
