WIR: Thank you, Tad Miller

Week in Review (WIR) sure missed football this week, but the great Tad Miller made the lack of spring practice much more bearable. His interview was just what we needed to get us through until Monday, when the Broncos hit the field again. We plan on talking to him often through the long summer.

• Kellen Moore's coming-out party.
• What about the O-line?
• Vandals start spring football....Fresno, too.
• Tad Miller interview.
• OBNUG's Facebook group.
• The reason behind our distaste for Kaepernick.
• Bronco Nation podcast, featuring OBNUG.
• We pick the starters on the O-line and D-line.
• Another entry in the BSU's QB derby?
• Losing starting to get to Idaho President.

See you next week, Bronco fans.

Coach Pete's spring break plans

The Broncos took time off for spring break this week, and they will resume practice on Monday, leading up to the second scrimmage of the spring on April 4. With seven days off, we are curious to see what Coach Pete has been working on.

Here are our theories on what exactly he might have been up to over the break (listed in order of probability):

• Installing a new offense
• Cloning Marty Tadman
• Reading our interview with Tad Miller
• Finding a way to get Chris O'Neill more touches
• Nicknaming fellow WAC coaches
• Writing a paper for Jeremy Childs
• Stewing over the attention paid to the Bronco basketball team
• Spying on University of Idaho practices
• Naming a starting quarterback

Idaho president sick of losing

University of Idaho President Tim White has high aspirations for his school. Among them? Winning a WAC football game.

White, in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, said a successful sports program is key to the image of his Moscow, Idaho-based school.

"You bet it matters," said White, a former college water polo coach.

Idaho sports has had a troubled decade since moving to the Division I-A ranks, especially in the main revenue sports of football and basketball.

To think that the football program is bringing down the collective image of the University of Idaho is rather unfortunate. That is a lot of pressure to put on Nathan Enderle.

White puts a lot of blame on the coaching turnover.

"There was no stability in leadership," White said. "You can't do anything without that level of stability."

With Robb Akey back for his second season, it appears that White is confusing stability with longevity.

Hot QB prospect considers Boise State

Upland (Calif.) High School QB Josh Nunes can have his pick of colleges next spring, and the senior-to-be has Boise State on his short list. Or, actually, long list.

Some of the schools he's considering are: Colorado, BYU, Arizona State, Cal, Stanford, UCLA, Boise State, Utah, San Diego State, Arizona, Notre Dame, Harvard and Princeton.

Wow, we didn't even know some of those schools had football.

Nunes had an excellent junior season, and scouts expect him to blossom in his senior year, which will only be his fourth year playing organized football. He is smart, accurate, and, judging from his picture, an American Eagle employee. Rugby polos and pre-worn jeans on two! Set, hut!

Nunes' decision to consider the Broncos might hinge on the performance this year of Kellen Moore. For comparison, here is a photo of Moore:



Maybe Nunes would be better off at Princeton.
