Story of the day:
Boise State practice schedule [Press-Tribune]
You may enjoy watching the Boise State Broncos, but the Broncos do not necessarily enjoy being watched.
That is the feeling we get from the release of the Fall Camp schedule. In addition to the common practice of banning the public from regular practice sessions, the team is extending its Joe Schmo prejudice even further. Observe the scrimmage information:
Monday, Aug. 11 from 3-5:30 p.m. at Bronco StadiumWho closes scrimmages to the public? We're actually a little bothered by this, considering that Bronco Nation has been nothing but supportive. We just want to see our team play! We promise to leave the video cameras and Nevada scouts at home this time.
Saturday, Aug. 16 from 7-9 p.m. at Bronco Stadium
The team also will hold a closed scrimmage at Eagle High School on Aug. 22.
The Broncos will hold 24 practices in the three weeks leading up to the Idaho State game. When Fall Camp ends on August 24th, Boise State will spend the next week getting ready for Idaho State. Not that they'll need a whole week.

I find it damn near impossible to believe that Fresno is the most hated in the WAC.

I don't know where you find the time to blog and get married at the same time. You're right. You don't hate a team like Fresno State. You pity them.
