First Game of the Season

Last Saturday was BSU's first football game of the season. That was cause for a gathering, food and FUN. Check out these cute BRONCO fans.

Even our cookies wore their BRONCO colors. :)

Thanks Karen. they were awesome!

Go Big Blue!

There was a lot of cheering going on at our house Monday night.

BOISE.....

STATE ! ! !
" Go ORANGE... Go big BLUE!
Fight, fight BSU!"

Lots of CrAzY FAns too.

Family and friends came over to watch Boise State's first game of the season against Virginia Tech.

The run down--- Boise had an early lead... Virginia Tech came back in the second quarter... They went back and forth during the third quarter.... By the fourth quarter Virginia was in the lead.... In the last 2 minutes Boise State scored, gaining the lead and then held it to win Boise 33, Virginia Tech 30!

I saw some of the first quarter, but was filled in on all the nail-biting details of the rest of the game, later. I was the self-appointed young bronco wrangler, for the night. (Which I am totally fine with.) I'm happy to hear the cheering coming from upstairs and see the game highlights replayed over and over, for the next week or more.

Way to go BSU!

Fiesta Bowl

My family is BSU BRONCO CRAZY!

The anticipation of the Fiesta Bowl was described as,

"the way kids feel on Christmas Eve".

So I thought this might be appropriate.....

T'was the night of the Fiesta Bowl and all through our house,

Furniture was rearranged and ORANGE was my blouse.

The snacks were set out on the counter with care,

In hopes that the BIG screen would show up there.

The children were nestled all snug upstairs,

Playing toys, watching movies or doing WHATEVER... who cares?!

Some mamma's in orange, some dad's in blue caps,

Had just settled down for a GREAT game, no naps!

When on the t.v. there arose such a clatter,

We SPRANG from the couches because every play matters.

Away went the ball, Broncos intercepted in a flash,

Thompson tore up the field and scored a TOUCHDOWN that fast.

When what to our wondering eyes did we see,

Broncos scored a FIELD GOAL and that counts as three.

With Kellen as quarterback and Wilson on defense,

We knew in a moment this game would get TENSE.

More rapid than eagles TCU players came,

Then they scored a touchdown and field goal the same.

Now Broncos, now Coach Pete, what's the deal, now we're tied,

On Wilson, on Wynn on Winterswike... keep ALIVE!

So at the sidelines to the playbooks they flew,

With a trick up their sleeve "a punt" thought TCU.

Then in a twinkling we saw the ball hiked,

The kicker caught the ball, TCU had been ...psyched!

Brotzman spoke not a word but went straight to his WORK,

Threw the ball down field, Efaw turned with a jerk.

Kyle put his hands out and then caught the ball,

First down, Second down, TOUCHDOWN y'all!

BRONCO NATION sprang to their feet, they shouted and whistled,

Chest bumps, high fives, Buster the horse shot out like a missile.

The FINAL score was 17 to 10,

We were excited, but glad, for this game to end.

We heard coach exclaim as he was recognized,

TCU played well, but I'm sure proud of my guys!
