They Were NEVER SUPPOSED to Be This GREAT... (The INCREDIBLE Rise of Boise State Football)

  • Over the past few decades, the city of Boise, Idaho has grown significantly. The people who live there believe it is a special place. Current football head coach Andy Avalos told SB Nation, everything you need from the city is in about a three-mile by three-mile space near downtown. As someone who was born and raised in New Jersey some 2,500 miles away you would think I would never have thought of the city of Boise, Idaho. But as I was growing up their football team was shocking the nation and I became fascinated by their blue turf and their underdog attitude. This is the rise of Boise State.

    My good friend and I randomly became fans in 2003 while playing NCAA football 2004 (released in 2003). We had zero attachment to any college, but we liked the blue turf and wanted to take a low ranked team (1 or 2 stars) and build the dynasty mode.
    They quickly became my favorite NCAA team in real life, and that 2006/2007 season solidified it more than ever.
    I still have my original Xbox and those old NCAA games and roster files. When I saw this video pop up, I had to clock on.

The short FG missed in Reno in 2011 knocked us out of the Rose Bowl, that is the all time "what if" game for the Broncos (Colin Kapernick's Senior year).

      And a good university organization can't be left out. You need an internal structure that can both consistently hire good coaches, actually select good coaches, and have the support system for them to succeed. Boise St understands itself, understands what it's good at, what it wants within it's culture, and that's also huge in their success. It's impressive what they've done from the top down because history has shown hiring coaches is really a crapshoot yet they keep winning.

    My dad and I had season tickets to Boise State for 15 years before his devastating passing from Parkinson's in 2017. Boise is an amazing community that loves our Broncos mostly because of the positive attitude of the program which reflects our city. Tailgating begins in the morning and people mingle and share food next to the stadium that sits on the banks of the Boise River. One point of pride we have as Broncos fans is the treatment of opposing fans. They are invited into tailgates and often become friends amazed at how nice people are and what a great atmosphere game day is. There is one other school I've experienced such treatment, a few years ago my brother and a couple friends decided to rent a car and on a whim drove better part of two days to Stillwater Oklahoma. The game was great, unfortunately a close loss for the Broncos, but I can't compliment enough how we were treated there making me a fan of Oklahoma State for the simple fact that their fans are some of the nicest and welcoming people I''ve met. I love college football because done right it brings people, family and friends together for a great event. Win or lose college football is an amazing tradition. Go Broncos.

We try to minimize corruption and think it's important to have some perspective for the most part on any particular topic. SF and Portland were always weird but it was in a kind of a cute "oh look at the liberals and their marching around protesting like anyone outside of their little group cares at all." Liberals like to yell, make hyperbole about everything and most of all feel sorry for a guy with a less than ideal childhood walking around shooting people. Lesson for future, mental note, getting teased in high school doesn't warrant a shooting spree. If someone murders anyone, it is 100% the murderers fault. Not really much rehabilitation possible for violent criminals and it's certainly not "white privilege" that makes anyone murder people. I've been white my whole life and the privilege I had was to be oeverworked, underpaid and way way overtaxed.

    I was a kid in the 90s and started to watch them as my hometown football team. The story really begins in the late 90s with guys like Bart Hendricks and Brock Forsey who really first established Boise State as an inventive, imaginative and aggressive offensive powerhouse. Dan Hawkins took over and brought with him Chris Petersen as OC, and they had an amazing run in the early 2000s with Ryan Dinwiddie at QB setting records, followed by Jared Zabranksy and the mid-2000s teams that were starting to develop NFL talent at all positions. There was one-year lull after Zabransky left and the post-OU Fiesta Bowl, but even then, with Petersen now the HC, you could see the offense's potential. Kellen Moore arrived at the apex of Petersen's genius and he really found the perfect QB to hit the timing and rhythm of his motions and deceptive pass patterns. And thanks to the consistent winning and success of the previous eras, Petersen was able to recruit better talent than Boise State fans could ever have believed would play for their team.
    It's an amazing story of building a winning program, and doing it under different leadership-I stopped following the Broncos after the Harsin years became a bit stale, but I hope one day they can find a gem like Petersen again who can be ahead of the curve and make Boise State the unpredictable menace no one wants to face on their schedule.

    2010 Boise State is arguably the greatest G5 team to ever play the game.
    1. This team didn’t even make a major bowl, yet was ranked #1 in the country by SP+, SRS, and Colley.
    2. They averaged a 36.7 margin of victory per game on the season. That’s the highest MVPG by over 6ppg than any other team to not make a national title or playoff champ.
    3. They ranked #2 in total offense, scoring 50+ points in 50% of their games, and 40+ points in 85% of their games. They were 170 total yards less than Oregon from the #1 ranking yet played twice as many ranked teams as Oregon that season.
    2. They ranked #2 in total defense. They were the first team since 04 USC to be ranked in the Top 5 for total offense and total defense and the first team since 1998 Nebraska to be ranked in the top 2 for total offense and total defense.
    They allowed 11.4 ppg, shutout 3 teams, and beat 3 teams ranked in the Top 10 for total offense 139-10.
    Even in their loss to Nevada, they led this game by 24 points and had 3 opportunities to win.

He came over for dinner a few times and I didn’t think too much into it. Ian Johnson used to attended our church too and we used to have regular conversation with the guy. He was an overall really cool guy. As their names got HUGE it was pretty apparent that they were annoyed with constant bombardment of people that recognized them. I haven’t seen any of them in years now.. wish them all the best. But I feel for em too, it was nice when Boise was significantly smaller than it is now. And these guys were local celebrities.

    I was at that game front row behind the Boise State bench. Greatest game I ever seen in person with my oldest son it was our second in person Boise State. The first game was the Fiesta Bowl against TCU. After they beat OU I told my son when they make it back we were going and we did. The second greatest game I attended was also with my Oldest son at that time he was my only son and had just turned 4 Sept 91. It was the Lions vs the Cowboys playoff win in the Silver dome to think we had to wait another 32 years before we would see the Lions win another home playoff game. my number three game is probably not one you watched and while I have state I will never return to Fort Collins Colorado .. the whole trip up to the last minutes of game play was the worst trip of my life... but to witness that come back when all seemed lost to watch the drunk on victory CSU fands empty out that stadium up by 3 TD's with less then 4 minutes to go on the cold late Colorado night was one the greatest from all time lows with misery pain and suffer to one of the biggest highs one could experience. After the Team came by as they always do slapping all of us there hands , as they too were on a tremendous high. I streamed the out live on face book from my endzone view which happened to be the one where all the action was, coach Harsin came up in to the stands and talked to each and everyone one of us that were there and shock all of our hands. I'm so looking forward to what this 2024 Boise State team is going to do. every game has been a travel game for me even well maybe not Toledo (which is by far the worst fan base on the planet) or MSU in Lansing as they are both within 70 miles of my home. All other games I have flown to but one My oldest and I drove to the Oky state game and I have to say Stillwater is a great place to go see game. The Stadium is awesome as is their hospitality, them and the Vtech are great people before and after the game. I love my Tigers and I love my Lions but one thing I have never done is travel to see them play so I guess Boise State to me good or bad is must see for me.
    Lots of irony to how I became a Boise state fan. I am Yooper by birth but lived most of my youth in Mid Michigan, went to Idaho for my second half my junior year & senior year. Play high school for this young looking guy in fact when I first saw him I had no idea he was the coach though he might be like a student aid of some kind. football. I played for Highland High school in Pocatello Id. We wom the state championship and I moved on with my life I did however go to Idaho State and I discovered their that years before when I came out there to visit my dad for the summer and he bought me this T-shirt at Fred Myer it was Black with a blue out line of the state of Idaho and it had a horse read up on it and written on the shirt it said Boggy to you puck at BSU. I wore the shirt to a 8th grade school dance and when my friends asked me what BSU meant I said Bullshit University I had no idea I had never herd of Boise state . The fact is as a student I discovered ISU folks hated Boise State the time Boise was in the Big Sky like ISU was .. So did the natural thing to do was hate them..
    Many years past and I had moved my family to the city I was born in Menominee Michigan right on the boarder of Wisconsin. It's the first week of college football 1997 and I was a huge Michigan fan all my youth. I turn on the TV as the Michigan was going to be later and watched the station out of Green bay which was 50 miles away to watch the game Badgers vs Boise State first year in div 1. Wisconsin had Ron Dane Rose bowl bound team the year before beat UCLA play guess who.. Boise State! I'm think well these guys are going to get waxed and I'm suppose to hate them so they beat us in everything when I was in college especial in Football. But shit they they were beating them yeah the first qt they got knocked around a little but as the game went late in the fourth they had taken the lead with just a few minutes to go, they were up by 4. Wisconsin get first and goal at the 7 there is like 1:20 left they had their time out they stuff Dane on 4th and goal from the 3 at the one. I was losing my mind they won the team was doing the same.. Awe but you see Wisconsin gets right back to the like and the clock is still running.. Understand this is a local not a national broadcast the guys call the game from the Booth were locals .. and they like I am go what going on the Big 10 refs gave Wisconsin a 5th down the Boise State Players rush to get into passion and barely got down at the snap and still almost stopped Ron for a second time! Even as time expired the booths guys never stopped talking about the 5th down. 97 year was a losing season for Boise State that being said my boys from Michigan well you know what they did so I had completely forgot about Boise State. Huston leaves and the next time I hear anything about Boise State is Dirk Koetter is the new head football coach at Boise State my senior year head coach in high school. The rest is history. The bond came in the Fresno State Game in 2002 after Dirk pissed me off leaving for AZ. People forget Fresno State beat Wisconsin in Maddison that year and was rank 6th in the nation. To watch those young men fight and scratch and then take the game in the 4th qt created a bond. Yet Boise State was my second favorite team I was after all Michigan man. However I started paying attention and watching more BSU games. To be able to watch some of the Boise games on cable I would have to buy the sports plan to get the out area games so I was watching more and more Boise state game. then came the 2006 season the loss to Appy State, my sons first year in college. Making the trip the Ann Arbor area to watch Michigan games with him. The total destruction of Norte Dame following the loss to appy state was heart warming. Then to watch the local media just pound on Lloyd Carr week after week. His retirement was a result of media and the elites in Ann Arbor it was a disgrace. Then the Snub and belittle Jimmy the press was relentless. He doesn't have coaching experience. You have to understand Bo would take us to the Rose Bowl then lose it until Harbaugh. I was so pissed when there was all the hype talk about Less Miles .. you have to understand the history here Less Miles is a piece of shit he was the reason Gary Moellar got fired. Miles got Mo's wife all lacquered up at a public event then on the dance floor started grouping and kissing on his wife. and Gray fucked him up right there on the dance floor for all to see. Beat his arse. Less was leaving LSU to come to Michigan until West Virginia lost to Pitt moving LSU into the National championship game. I was like ok so now we get Jimmy ... Nope the media double down. Reports that he didn't get along with the Alumni with spread and he lacks the experience to Coach at Michigan lol and all this Michigan man speak, they were doing prior when it was going to be Miles. and they do what" Rich Rod the guy who lost to Pitt ?? to keep his team out of a title game? This is your Michigan man?? LOL
    If you recall New years morning Michigan played the Gators, Carr's last game heavy underdogs to a Florida team who won the National Championship the year before with the T-Bone at QB that was the last game for many year I had rooted to Michigan. And that night the greatest Bowl game ever played Boise State vs Oklahoma. Stick a fork in me I was done. 2 years later I had to get permission from Boise State to use the domain I had purchased tehblueturf.com. Started posting a blog and and youtubes on my Dartprophet youtube channel. in 2010 a blogging group call blogin had earn some cred getting some of their bloggers post out on sports sites like SBN came to me said they could earn me some cash and give me support. The hitch was I had to give them my domain. Things were going smoothly until 2011. They got bought by Bar stool and that seemed to be a good thing until 2012 Barstool sold the Blugin group to a Chinese company who instantly cut us all out of our accounts. They never did a damn thing with them other then leave our post up for a few years. I got no compensation and to this day they maintain ownership of the domain they don't have Boise States permission to use the domain using any content about Boise State so this is what it looks like today theblueturf.com/ the wont sell it for any number I've tried.
    But they will never be able to use it for it's intended purposes.
    Thats how I became a die hard to the grave come hell or high water Boise state fan I still have a fan page on face book but life gets in the way when you are a business man surviving covid and all it's repercussions. That being said I will be putting out a Jeanty Video on my youtube theblueturf channel which I am posting from now. so subscribe to my channel as well I won't give a penny to facebook aka FBi they sell your information and they will sell you to to big brother thats why I don't post of FBi anymore. but hey I have a ton of great content there if you are looking for pre 2020 Boise Vidoe and yeah I have bought all in on all of Boise State teams not just the football team I support them all and in a couple more years my home base is going to be Boise Idaho. Everytime I go there it gets harder and harder to get on a plane back to Detroit.
    Nice little video keep swing .

    How good were they in the Petersen-Moore era? Peterson's 2006 BSU recruiting class put 17 guys into NFL training camps. 2 first round draft picks, Doug Martin and Shea McClellin. Kellen Moore, Doug Martin, Shea McClellin, Austin Pettis, Titus Young, Billy Winn, Chase Baker, Tyrone Crawford, George Iloka, Jeron Johnson, Jamar Taylor, Brandyn Thompson, Winston Venable and Nate Potter all played in the NFL. Pretty much unheard of outside of schools like Alabama, USC or Ohio State. They were that good.

  • @jameshumphrey2345

    Maybe I’m biased because I was in the stands for the Broncos nearly beating Wisconsin in Madison in 1997 - Boise led the entire second half until its undersized defense ran out of gas and allowed the winning TD with 42 seconds left. But I think Houston Nutt should get a huge share of credit for instilling a culture of intensive preparation and the belief that they really could compete on the national stage. Even though they only won four games on the field* that season, that game really felt like a huge turning point.
    * BSU’s official season record is 5-6 because Cal State Northridge, which won the season opener, was forced by the NCAA to forfeit that victory because of rules infractions.

Not that Colorado is a huge state but it still brings in a bigger viewing audience than Idaho and in terms of recruiting Colorado isn't an elite state for recruits but it's a lot better than Idaho, not to mention academics. The academic requirements for Boise St are lower than they are for the rest of the Pac-12, doesn't mean anything to me personally but Pac-12 presidents love to parade it around like any of us care and again, Boise St just doesn't offer the Pac-12 anything financially or competitively that would improve the conference. They have a great fan base but it's a small fan base that won't bring in the viewership a big conference wants and is on the very low end in terms of fertile recruiting. It's about money you can generate and recruits that can improve the conference, unfortunately Boise St can't bring either of those to the table and it sucks because I would love to see them in the Pac-12.

    The lack of proper pronunciation on the part of the narrator, demonstrates lack of familiarity with the long history of Boise State football and its TWO National Championships in Football. I had the winning TD pass catcher TE Duane Dlouhy from the great 1980 championship team as a student teacher in my high school PE class. As a native Boise, Idahoan, the roots run deep and the modern 1A era (1996- present) is just as awesome as the prior fun decades where I got to attend the games with such legendary players and coaches as the great Grambling State coach, Eddie Robinson, who coached for 56 YEARS!! Who remembers the Riverboat Gambler, Rick Woods, who would literally RUN FORWARD while catching a punt!! That was insane!! Randy Troutman, The French back-up QBs who would get the offense sparked up in the Big Sky Conference slugfests!! So commercialized now, it seems like it is less intimate than it was back in the past.
