About

Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, I am a die hard Boise State fan and current student

Nothing will ever replace the memories I have of sitting in our small garage-turned-family room watching whatever sport was in season. Learning about protecting the blind-side (Steve Young is blind in one eye?!?), and checking the runner, Pat Summerall and Jon Miller were my teachers, and I, their best student.

With nothing professional in the Boise area, and my dad holding season tickets to what was then Cougar Stadium in Provo, we would make the 6 hour drive on select Saturdays in the Fall to see what LaVell Edwards had going for him that week.

Being a bit of a contrarian and naturally wanting to find my own place in life, I gravitated to the blue turf and the winning attitude at Boise State. It has turned out to be a wise move as we have since become the winningest program of the century.

My main interest is in college football, but will not limit myself to the confines of a league that has no playoff system.

    I didn't realize you were the author on the 'campus reaction' story. Very nice job on it Tucker!

    A dedication to a great player who never got to finish his career. If you could stop by it would be greatly appreciated.

    I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

    I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?

    Tucker,
    Thank you, sir. Same to you. That wasn't how I expected the game to go, but I couldn't have asked for a better game either. Both sides impressed (as we predicted) and both sides showed great sportsmanship and respect for either side. I'd love to see another game scheduled between the two in the near future. What a freakin' incredible matchup! Y'alls' future squad is simply terrifying.
