A column over the weekend by the Reno Gazette-Journal’s Chris Murray talks about Nevada striking while the iron is hot to become a “national program” in college basketball. Not surprisingly, the bottom line is money—investing in men’s hoops.
Rejuvenated Robert Mahone sets a new tone
Not a lot of news out of Boise State’s second scrimmage of spring football Saturday night, and that was by design. Local media were allowed to attend for their own edification, but there wasn’t much of substance reported.
Some think the Zag jury is still out
Gonzaga’s home seems to be set for the long-term in the West Coast Conference. At least that’s my opinion. Not everybody is convinced.
The new Kellen is coming home—temporarily
You’d like to consider all of the honorees at next week’s Boise State Athletic Hall of Fame induction as equals, but the star of the show is definitely Kellen Moore.
The hidden nugget at Boise State Pro Day
He did more than anyone expected during the 2017 football season. So Boise State’s Pro Day was just another day at the office for Ryan Wolpin.
Pro Day is central to Cedrick Wilson’s future
Leighton Vander Esch may not have that much to gain today at Boise State’s Pro Day, but Cedrick Wilson does. After a serviceable performance at the NFL Combine a month ago, Wilson will look to show off in position drills today.
The Zags really had us going there
It looked for a while like it was actually going to happen: Gonzaga to the Mountain West. It was a natural, it seemed—higher RPI, much bigger arenas, traditional powers (San Diego State, UNLV, New Mexico) and rising powers (Nevada, Boise State).
LVE and the first round scenario
(TOM SCOTT’S COLUMN WILL RETURN MONDAY.) Leighton Vander Esch will be back in town this coming weekend, attending an autograph session and getting some R&R. The NFL Draft is a month from today, and the closer we get to it, the more the former Boise State star is looking like a first round pick.
It was a legit Bronco victory
For Loyola Chicago, it’s so very irrelevant right now. For Boise State, it’s just confounding now. How many times are we going to end up saying it? The Broncos beat the Ramblers by 34 points the week after Thanksgiving.
Nevada’s Sweet 16 run is kind of like…
Nevada came back yet again last night, but this time the Wolf Pack met a team that had enough gas in the tank to withstand the surge.
