Another one of Obama’s gaffes. His Middle East foreign policy was a disaster.

Yeah, that was my point when I said "go figure".  We're all world beaters in April.  However, I'll take it over "we got a shot", or "we're getting there".  Those have been the mantra's coming out of spring camp at CSU lately.  When I talk about JN changing the culture, that's part of what I'm talking about.  We're becoming a player led team with confidence.  I'm not buying that we're going to run the MWC or even finish top 4, I am buying that we finally have a team again that believes in itself.  Literally that's a huge step forward.  Our #1 QB let it slip in an interview that a lot of the team thinks we're ready to "shock the world".   Good for them, but show me.  I can't count the number of times I've heard that, but that count is zero out of spring camp at CSU for way too long.  Just excited with the change in the culture is all.

Still a few more changes in order to build a champion, but I like the start.

The hype is used to sell season tickets. Boise State has the same hype vibe every spring. I’ve learned to cast a jaundiced eye. Last year was typical and then we got steam rolled by UW in the first game. This year the same hype with Oregon as our second game. 

With NIL the Ducks are pretty much a semipro team. Tough to compete with the big boys anymore.

Second best coach in the MWC IMO. He’d be above Dutcher if he recruited better. He’s had some very good players, namely Roddy and Stevens, but not enough on one team to win the MWC.

MAGAts on LibsofTikTok think it's hilarious that Planet Fitness is now getting bomb threats over the fact they kicked out a member for videotaping in a bathroom (against the rules).  They think it's a huge win and love it.  Moar bomb threats!!! 

Like what kind of loser in life either cares or thinks this is a good thing?  I'm sure I'll get replies from a few on here who thinks it's, like, totally rad.

Probably the same loser who video tapes a fitness facility bathroom. Who does that?

Crossing the US border and asking a US border guard for asylum is legal in the US and that is what they are doing.  System is overwhelmed and nobody, including thew GOP want to do much as it is a political issue.

 

We need a seasonal US guest worker program in place

For those seeking asylum coming from So. America through Mexico doesn’t international law require Mexico to first give them asylum? Therefore the US is not legally required to give them asylum.

I believe we have one, but there’s so much red tape for both the worker and employer to get a temporary work permit it’s difficult to make it work.

San Fran C.C. ?

You got it, did you cheat? The only reason I know it I was a student at LA Valley College and we played SFCC when OJ played there. The thing I remember about that game it was one of the biggest football brawls I’ve ever seen. Both teams going at it swinging fists and helmets for a good 10-15 minutes before the fight was broken up. 

Good timing for Israel to kick Iran’s ass as the Russians are too busy with Ukraine to offer much help.

Yes, we need strong alpha male types like when we were kids or everyone is gonna be gay.  Call these tough guys part of the gay 30% and you would have caught a beating!

Why do I get the feeling that you were the kid everyone picked on in school.

Kyle was a late add to the roster during the summer when Roddy left CSU. He’s a really good athlete and visited CSU, USC, and Missouri before settling on CSU. His biggest issue is that while 6’10” he only weighs 200 lbs. The coaches wanted him to bulk up last summer and he put on 20 lbs. which he somehow found a way to lose before the season began. The staff was not happy. A lot of us were hoping things would work at CSU but him leaving is probably best for all parties.

Some kids can’t put on weight to save their life and then they turn 30 and get big enough to play DT for the Packers. I was one of those.

Look at CSU fan trying to justify the stupid.  Haha. 

He’s not justifying anything, he’s stating the reality of NIL recruiting. 

According to this report nearly 30% of Gen Z identify as LBGTQ

Seems like it’s the cool thing to be these days. 

Trivia question: Where did OJ play before USC?

OJ died and no one cried. 

Kato Kaelin? 

OJ for the most part was a likable dude, however obviously had a dark side you never saw in public. 

Didn’t Biden catch flak for swimming nude in front of female secret service agents. I can hear those agents all going eww seeing his crusty old dick.

He would crash into the lane with the first thought of scoring IMO.  Not looking to distribute.  And his scoring wasn't all that good either.  It's pretty surprising how good the Broncos got last year considering their guard play overall wasn't near the top of the league.

He did play some good defense for us most of the time. If he can improve his three point shot he’d be a great 2 guard for us.

Don't think they have any plans for Ugbo at the 3.  He's a PF for now.  If they don't land a starting post in the portal and the odds are against that,  then Buzo is 3. Degenhart 4 and Stanley the 5 but really they're all forwards in the scheme.  Meadow backs up Buzo and Degenhart when needed.  Ugbo will spell both Degenhart and Stanley.  That's if no center is added with the 2 scholarships left.   And even that would take Leon to play 8 guys regularly and he's never done that before.

I’m going to go out on a limb and predict we land a post similar or better than Martin to back Stanley up. That’s a big need as we don’t want Degenhart or Ugbo who is closer to 6’7” playing the post when Stanley gets in foul trouble 

A birdie told me who the guy was and he was right. Just announced that SJSU PG Cardenas is coming to Boise State. Gives Boise State much needed depth and shooting at the guard position. 

Now get a true post and the Broncos are in business.

Yohan Traore?

I wish. 

Boise State expected to announce a significant addition from the portal today. Hopefully it’s a post that can rebound, block shots, and shoot FTs. Scoring would be a plus but not essential as the Broncos have sufficient scorers.

Wtf is wrong with this country? Why are so many so insistent on going back in time?

Every known civilization in history that has advanced discarded the past and progressed forward.

Religious people live in the past. Jesus is about as past as you can get. 

With the A’s and Raiders all they need now is an NBA team which would make UNLV basketball less relevant than they are now.

Same difference. Lol
