VS. Colorado Buffaloes (+18) at Nebraska Cornhuskers 1:30  pm MT, ABC   Nothing is better than football the day after Thanksgiving. It's always a special day to wake up and know that you are in the midst of four straight days of football. CU has a daunting task today ...

With their 61-10 plastering of Fresno State on Friday night, No. 9 Boise State officially wrapped up its season unscathed. For the second time in three years, the Broncos finished the regular season undefeated, and yet the only thing they can hope for is a chance to play in a BCS bowl game.  ...

Congratulations to Ian Johnson and all the Boise State seniors. What a way to go out. What a half. Leading only 13-10 at halftime, the Broncos exploded for 28 points in the third quarter and 20 more in the fourth. Before you knew it, Pat Hill wasn’t so upset about not getting a field ...

Greetings, Bronco fans, and welcome to the final regular season Bronco comment thread of the year. Come join us throughout the game to share thoughts, comments, analysis, and more on Fresno State vs. Boise State (4:00pm, ESPN2, ESPN360). Of note: Jeron Johnson was arrested yesterday for not ...

Here’s my take on the Colorado vs. Nebraska rivalry thing: RELAX, everybody. I moved to the Denver area two decades ago and still can’t understand why Nebraska football fans get so emotional when the topic invariably comes up. Here’s the deal: Yes, it was started in the 1980s by ...

A couple weeks ago Ball State University turned in an unimpressive victory against fellow MAC opponent Miami of Ohio and I wrote how the Cardinals and the BCS were a joke . Well, the BCS is still a joke – but Ball State isn’t. I was wrong about this team and I’m more than willing to eat ...

Join the OBNUG team on Friday for the Fresno State - Boise State gameday open comment thread. We’ll provide the turkey sandwiches. You provide the cutting wit and observation skills. Comment thread: Fresno State - Boise State, Friday, 4:00pm MT, ESPN2, ESPN360 Related Posts Boise ...

Friday’s game against Fresno State sure doesn’t feel like a Fresno State game. Typically, we Bronco fans are in a lather about our hatred of the Bulldogs. We are uptight, hostile, and belligerent every time the word “Fresno” is uttered, and not a minute goes by when ...

It’s time to get our sentimental on. With the Bronco seniors playing their final game at Bronco Stadium on Friday (hopefully), it will be our last chance to see Ian Johnson, Vinny Perretta, Andrew Woodruff, Mike T. Williams … you get the idea. Is there any way the Broncos lose ...

One of several impossibly large dominoes that need to fall this weekend for Boise State to have any shot at a BCS bowl is for Oregon to upset Oregon State. As such, we find this nugget particularly encouraging: Oregon State running back Jacquizz Rodgers is doubtful for Saturday’s Civil ...

We like to think that the Bronco Blogger Top 26 Poll is the only poll that matters, probably because it is one of the only polls that still has Boise State ranked higher than Utah. This helps us sleep better at night. Here is this week’s version of the poll. For details and history, ...

Dear bittersweet victories, Thanks for sucking all the fun out of the room. And for double-dipping in the punch bowl. That is the last time we invite you over to watch a game. Or is it? You’ve been a part of the past three weeks of our Boise State football experience. Ever since ...

In a typical punting situation, the punter (The Bull Gator’s second favorite position) stands 15 yards behind his best friend and partner in crime, the long snapper. As a representation of those oh so important 15 yards – and let’s be honest, to keep my sanity (or lack thereof) – I’ve ...

Friday is Senior Day at the Boise State game, and it might be the last time that players like Ian Johnson and Vinny Perretta take the field. Our good friend Drew over at Fight Fight BSU has put together an online petition if you want to leave some kind words for the Broncos’ seniors. ...

What has been one of the more turbulent WAC seasons in recent memory is almost over, which should be a very big relief to Pat Hill. Not having anyone to nominate for Player of the Week can get a little tiring. With so much parity in the conference below Boise State, the WAC could end up with ...

Boise State WR Austin Pettis was named the WAC’s offensive player of the week for catching nine passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns. In his acceptance speech, Pettis thanked Kellen Moore, God, and Nevada’s No. 119-ranked passing defense. Read more: WAC announces football ...

Happy Monday, Bronco fans. It’s always easier to come to work on Monday after a Bronco win. It’s even easier, knowing that this is a short Thanksgiving week. As such, OBNUG’s posting schedule will be a little different. We plan on inundating you with posts today through ...

I’ll have more comments coming tomorrow, but for now here’s my latest ballot. Because I had Texas Tech in the No. 4 hole entering the week, I didn’t need to — and didn’t see any reason to — rework the top of the ballot. Florida still has the best resume, in ...
