WIR: 500 isn't old if you're a tree

Week in Review (WIR) was happy to have another busy week of Bronco football, and with a scrimmage tomorrow night (6:00pm at Bronco Stadium, in case you hadn't heard), the good vibes will continue into the weekend.

Also, the good vibes will continue into Monday, when we reveal our big surprise. Is it an OBNUG video game? Are we joining forces with Murph's Turf? Is this site going public? Stay tuned and find out on Monday.

Here are the best stories from the past week:

• Ryan Clady disappoints Woody Paige.
• First BSU scrimmage in the books.
• Nick Lomax in the QB derby?
• Season previews for Utah State and Nevada.
• Brian Murphy stirs debate.
• Happy 500th post, us.
• Practice going better than the scrimmages.
• Patience for the QB race.
• NFL preseason week two preview.
• Dustin Lapray: grandiloquent.
• What to watch for at scrimmage #2.
• Boise State adds two to schedule.
  

See you at the scrimmage, Bronco fans.

WIR: Bronco Nation rejoice, football returns

Week in Review (WIR) had a wonderful summer vacation, thanks for asking. But now there's work to do. First off, about the weekend. The Broncos will be practicing Saturday and Sunday, and here are some places to go if you need a fix of Bronco news. (We're pretty sure you could have found these on your own; we just like mothering you.)

• Dave's Blog
• Bronco Beat
• BSU Blog

This week was the busiest yet at OBNUG, as we cranked out 26 posts in five days. Hello, early onset carpal tunnel syndrome! Here are the best posts from the last week:

• Camp notes from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and today 
• WAC quarterbacks falling like flies.
  
• Zabransky not as clutch as people remember.
  
• The Statesman surprises.
  
• Fresno State team preview.
  
• WAC teams are unusually happy.

• Preseason football should be fun.

We'll see you bright and early on Monday morning. Have a good weekend, Bronco fans.

WIR: Clady gets drafted, Tadman gets ignored

After the exciting NFL draft, Week in Review (WIR) is realizing the long summer that lays before us. Surely we can all get through this together.

Have a great, albeit boring weekend Bronco fans!

WIR: NFL Draft countdown

Week in Review (WIR) is looking forward to OBNUG's live-blog of the NFL Draft tomorrow. With Ryan Clady going in the first few picks, the excitement is palpable. Or is that our mondo nacho platter? Either way, tomorrow should be fulfilling.

Here is the best from the past week:

• New WAC bowl? Yeah, that's what we need.
• Akey's foster family.
• Brian Murphy strikes again.
• No wonder the WAC is so depressing.
• Clady is the Black Power Ranger.
• S*Club party
• Dan Hawkins: Public Enemy #1!
• Life Coach waxes wise.
• NFL Draft scouting report.
• Fresno State a little amped.
• Broncos sure are good at sports.
• Do the right thing, Kansas City.

See you for tomorrow's live-blog, Bronco fans.

WIR: Spring ends, Public Enemy nears

Week in Review (WIR) has loads of loathing for all the candidates on OBNUG's Public Enemy #1 list, which has made choosing between the six candidates extremely difficult. Still, debating the villains has provided a good dose of relief for the long, football-less summer ahead. Maybe we'll just drag this thing on until August.

Here is the best from the last week.

• Farewell, spring football.
• Spring grades and awards.
• Augusto gets demoted.
• Hal Mumme, oh how we loathe you.
• New uniforms? We hope not.
• New Nevada blog.
• Public Enemy #1 decision looming.
• OBNUG's newest feature: the Life Coach.
• Richest 41-10 loss ever?
• Politicians are good for something.
• Ticket prices continue to rise.

Have a great weekend, Bronco fans. We'll see you on Monday for some NFL draft talk.

WIR: Spring football comes to a close

Week in Review (WIR) can hardly believe that spring football is over already. After the Blue and Orange game tonight, there will be no more Bronco football until August. Thank goodness for NCAA Football '05 on the Gamecube.

• Blogosphere abuzz over 2nd scrimmage.
• We don't care for Robb Akey and Mike Prater.
• ESPN gives its take on QB race.
• Safeties and kickers round out the OBNUG roster.
• Johnson for Heisman!
• There are no losers when scholarships are involved.
• Bronco radio conspiracy?
• Scrimmage scoring and extortion.
• Broncos crack Top 25 (note: not a real Top 25).
• Derrell Acrey popular again.

We'll see you all tonight at the Blue/Orange game, and we'll have a hastily-written recap later this weekend. See you then, Bronco fans.

WIR: Radios and scrimmages

Week in Review (WIR) feels that the big news about the Boise State radio contract has taken quite a bit of attention off of the Broncos' spring practice. This afternoon is the second public scrimmage, and it seems to be flying under the radar.

Not our radar. We have had this date circled since it was announced, and we can't wait to see how the Broncos are progressing. Our prediction: touchdowns, tackles, and turnovers. Not necessarily in that order.

In the meantime, here is the best from the last week.

• Carr going to Titans?
• Hawaii rebuilding with the help of Coca-cola.
• Enjoy Duke, Sean Renfree.
• OBNUG picks linebackers and cornerbacks.
• Beefcake photography courtesy of the Vandals.
• Ellis Powers changing positions.
• Brennan goes under the knife.
• Bronco Nation podcast featuring us.
• Boise State football goes global.
• Blue Turf Towel controversy.
• No more Paul J.; KBOI loses contract.

We'll post a scrimmage recap later tonight, and we'll be back with much more scrimmage talk on Monday. See you then, Bronco fans.

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.

WIR: spring football has sprung

Week in review (WIR) celebrated the return of Boise State football by refreshing Chadd Cripe's Bronco Beat blog every five minutes on Monday, hoping for an update. It was worth waiting until 6:50p.m.

• Spring football practice: days one, two, and three.
• Bob Stoops still in denial over Fiesta Bowl.
• Ryan Clady in the flesh.
• Huddling? No, thank you.
• Nevada QB not a QB.
• Kool-Aid with attitude.
• Utah State doesn't understand supply-demand.
• OBNUG's quarterback pick.

See you next week, Bronco fans.

WIR: Godspeed, spring football

Week in review (WIR) can't wait for the start of spring football on Monday. Now OBNUG can finally stop making up news stories.

• Fiesta Bowl still a good highlight.
• Clady makes millions at Pro Day.
• Anyone but Idaho State!
• No Kyle Wilson this spring.
• NFL mock draft minus objectivity.
• Fresno fans keeping it civil.
• OBNUG ranks the schedule.
• BSU basketball pulls a Hawaii Bowl.
• NCAA cover athlete not a Bronco.
• Spring practice! Thank goodness you're here.

Have a great weekend, Bronco fans. Looking forward to Monday!

WIR: Breaking news and Broncos' schedule

Week in Review (WIR) feels that OBNUG has raised the bar for other WAC football blogs after this week's scoops on Orlando Scandrick's mood and the Idaho Statesman's misprint. Of course, the bar was pretty low to begin with.

• Ryan Clady's pec chooses not to participate in Combine.
• Statue of Liberty to the finals of ESPN's highlight contest. Vote!
• MySpace journalism at its finest. We approve.
• Scandrick blazes through the 40. He's fast.
• Pro Day is coming.
• Fresno's new lackey hire.
• The Brock Forsey Experience.
• Boise State's schedule is released.
• The Statesman drops the ball.
• WAC schools await impending losses.

Have a great weekend, Bronco fans. Start planning those road trips to away games. We'll have a lot more Bronco schedule coverage next week.

WIR: Photojournals and the combine

WIR (Week in Review) was thrilled to see the fancy new stadium addition and ecstatic that there was no security around to keep people off the field. By the way, if someone is missing an orange chair come football season, we are meaning to give it back; we just haven't got around to it yet.

• Spring practice will be here before we know it. Pro Day, too.
• ESPN widget good for comic relief.
• The Mother Ship coming along nicely.
• Hit up Ryan Clady for money.
• The Combine is upon us.
• DQ something right, Bronco Stadium.
• What's Brock Forsey been up to?
• ESPN validates Boise State's greatest moment.

Have a great weekend Bronco fans. Watch more Combine than you should.

WIR: Boise State football with love

Week in Review (WIR) is very glad the writer's strike is over because watching Deal or No Deal was starting to get pretty old pretty fast.

Dave Tester's mugshot from hell.
Kudos to the Statesman.
Scandrick going to the combine.
We couldn't be more over Sean Renfree.
Grading WAC recruiting classes.
Southern Miss still on the schedule.
Marty Tadman forever.
Hawaii's rings of power.
Vote, vote, vote.

See you all next week.

WIR: Signing Day Bonanza!

Week in review (WIR) was really excited about the Letter of Intent Day event at the Big Easy in downtown Boise. But then it realized that the whole event was centered around two guys talking on the radio.

--Glendale's magic powers.
--Sign on the dotted line.
--The future looks bright...the WAC's future? Not so much.
--Say hello to the two-time Idaho player of the year.
--Nevada over BSU? Seriously?
--Shields out indefinitely.

Have a good weekend, Bronco fans. See you Monday.

WIR: Childs, Zabransky, and the birth of a blog

Week in Review likes it when there are Broncos in the news, even if it is just Broncos being drafted by leagues that won't exist in two years. We'll take what we can get.

--OBNUG's first post, and a new generation of Bronco football begins.
--Zabransky to the Steelers...and Pittsburgh fans rejoice.
--Jeremy Childs will return to the team.
--Cheating: not all that bad when you consider the alternatives.
--KBOI will have to fight...for its right...to brooooaaadcast!

We'll be back on Monday. Enjoy the weekend.
