Completely inappropriate April Fool's jokes



In honor of April Fool's Day, we've compiled a list of some of the worst possible April Fool's jokes you could make to a Boise State fan. Please don't get any ideas.

  • Oregon pulled out of the schedule, and Bleymaier got Weber State to take their spot.
  • Brian Murphy would like to write your autobiography.
  • Marty Tadman was just a figment of your imagination.
  • Fresno State is leaving the WAC to be replaced by Cole Valley Christian High School.
  • Nick Lomax is the 2008 starting quarterback.
  • Head coach Chris Peterson has been traded to Utah State for Brent Guy, a copy of Tony Dungy's book Quiet Strength, and the Mormon salvation of the 2008 Boise State roster.
  • The WAC is folding due to apathy.
  • David Augusto's one-on-one interview with David Augusto will air in a continuous loop on KTVB tonight from 7:00 to 10:00.
  • You've just won Idaho Vandal season tickets.

Vandals make news for being oily

Great find by Drew at Fight, Fight, BSU. The Idaho Vandals thought it might be a good idea to take their shirts off, rub each other with grease, and take a picture. Eww.


With Leather picked up the story, as well as Every Day Should Be Saturday. Good luck living that down, Vandals. Click here for the link to Drew's original post.

WAC officiating goes regional

The WAC is taking part in a move toward grouping officiating teams by region rather than conference. Effects could be felt as early as this year.

Beginning this season the game officials could be regional groups, an amalgam of either WAC and Mountain West Conference officials or WAC, MWC and Big 12 officials working across conference lines.
We don't really see much difference. Instead of blaming losses on those blind, ignorant WAC officials, people will be blaming losses on those liberal, tree-hugging Northwest officials. We fans will find someone to blame either way.

OBNUG Roster Update: Linebackers

Spring football gets OBNUG in the mood to speculate, so over the next few weeks, we will be making blind guesses as to who will be starting for the Broncos in the fall. We’ll do it position-by-position. Today: Linebackers.

Linebackers

Ideal candidate:
Bobby Boucher


Worst candidate: Gallant from Highlights


Actual candidates: Kyle Gingg, Derrell Acrey, Dallas Dobbs, David Shields, Tim Brady, Ellis Powers, Aaron Tevis, Tommy Smith, Byron Hout, Daron Mackey, Hunter White, Dan Paul

OBNUG's pick: Gingg, Mackey, Dobbs. A position of weakness last year should be a strength for the Broncos in 2008. I mean look at that list! The Broncos could start 11 linebackers if they wanted! We think that might be imprudent, so we'll go with Gingg, Mackey, and Dobbs in the meantime, although we expect many others to contribute.

Harsin feels QBs still neck-and-neck

Boise State offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin gave his thoughts on the BSU quarterback race yesterday, saying that all four candidates still remain very much in contention.

“Nobody is overall making a huge jump at this point,” Harsin said. “They’re doing what we ask them to do.”

Freshman Kellen Moore and senior Bush Hamdan did impress Harsin with their play in the first scrimmage. He also liked the presence of sophomore Mike Coughlin, who is a threat in the option run game and was on the field for some long run plays.
Also, Nick Lomax's fumble made Harsin laugh.

Chadd Cripe reports that the Broncos were happy to return to practice after a week off for spring break, and they hosted Upland (Calif.) QB Josh Nunes, a top prospect whom OBNUG profiled last week.
