BSU numerical roster revealed
The new BSU numerical roster is available on the BroncoSports website, finally giving us a chance to pre-order our Raphiel Lambert replica jersey. Get BroncoShop on the phone, Jeeves!
The biggest change on the updated roster is RB D.J. Harper's switch from #34 to #6--an obvious ode to Denver QB Jay Cutler. Seriously though, Harper will look pretty awesome running over defenders with a single digit on his back.
Doug Martin will indeed be wearing #22, and the rest of the skill position players stayed put with their same numbers. The only other big changes were CB Brandyn Thompson switching to #13 and DT Billy Winn going to #90.
Lambert and the other incoming freshmen were listed, which really makes them feel like part of the team for the first time. Now we actually have an excuse to get way too amped up about them.
- Bronson Durrant, OG, #79
- Greg Grimes, DL, #68
- Byron Hout, LB, #69
- George Iloka, S, #8
- Tyler Jackson, S, #29
- Joe Kellogg, OG, #61
- Chandler Koch, TE, #86
- Darren Koontz, DT, #95
- Raphiel Lambert, CB, #38
- Brenel Myers, OG, #64
- Chris Potter, WR, #81
- Tommy Smith, LB, #33
- Tom Swanson, OT, #74
- Jamar Taylor, CB, no number
- Faraji Wright, OT, #75

Bronco blogger podcast returns from vacation
After a summer of rest, the Bronco Nation N.O.W. podcast has resumed. Listen to JT Ray from BNN, Drew from Fight Fight BSU, and Matt Rodgers from Statue Left as they discuss the latest news and information. OBNUG took the Bush Hamdan route and politely declined.
Stream it from the website. Download it to your iPod. Burn it on a disc and take it to a rave. Or do all three.
Wednesday: Links with blowouts
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.
