Can Boise State Bust the BCS Again?

Well, football fans, it's hard to say if Boise State can bust the BCS or not. Despite getting off to a good start this year, we found ourselves without a kicker. We have a kicker, a decent human being named Dan Goodale, a walk on freshman who is learning the kick of the trade. But at 32 yards as his farthest field goal, we're sorely lacking. To Dan's credit, he hasn't taken it lying down and he is only a Freshman. So one of our local fans wrote a song to honor our lack of a kicker; all in good fun.
And let's face it. Boise State has beaten Virginia Tech, Tulsa, Georgia, Oregon and Oklahoma before. They can run with the big names. And most of those big names have been going down this season. So being back ranked at 7th in the polls again, well, maybe we'll see ya'll at the Sugar Bowl this year, and maybe a BCS championship if we can get a kicker.

Snowmageddon This Winter

Well snow sports fans in Idaho and elsewhere. We're definitely headed for cold temps this winter and well above precip here in ski, snowboard, sledding land of the Northern Rockies. Though admittedly, the storm that we expected to dump 10 to 12 inches of snow at Bogus Basin in the next couple of days turned North and even South. But there is indeed hope for those of us afflicted with snow fever. We'll be at this years Warren Miller film on Friday November 18 to share in the revelry that is snow sports.

You probably read about Jamie Pierre getting flushed at Snowbird. I thought he had the record for the biggest cliif jump.

Evidently not . . .

Click on the title of this blog for the 300 plus accidental free fall by a French skier who survived while filming for a ski film. Amazing.

And Jamie, rest in peace, dude. You were one of my favorite extreme skiers and I am so sorry early crap snow at Snowbird underneath the first POW of the season took you from us, but more importantly, took you your wife and children. I hope you and Saucer Boy meet up with Speedy in the big free ride pie in the sky of extremely amazing people.
