Curt Apsey says they will be adding a video board to the south end zone before the 2019 football season. It will be the biggest video board they can handle without changing the structure.

Curt Apsey says he gets a little choked up when starts talking about QB Brett Rypien. "More than the stats, it's the quality of person and leader he has been during his time here."
Coach Bryan Harsin is No. 5 in Boise State football history in wins (52) and No. 3 in winning percentage (78.8). When you think of Harsin, what do you think of?
"No analytics can weigh the pressure of a Game 7 on guys shooting 3s, so maybe it was not that rare for Houston to miss those 27 high pressure 3's. Analytics guys want to treat all 3s the same, but situation and score matter" Coach Nick of

@Curt
Apsey on KTIK: School has distributed about 4,500 to 4,800 tickets for the
@LasVegasBowl
. He thinks BSU could have between 7,000-8,000 fans at Saturday's game against Washington. "Maybe even more than that,'' Apsey said.
Apsey says A.D.s agreed that teams should not play out of division games in the final week of the season to avoid a potential rematch the next week in the championship game.
2-time National Champ Allie Ostrander tells us the reason she came to Boise State was the trails system in the city, confidence in the coaching staff and a gut feeling. She was surprised on the Blue this afternoon with a ceremony.
"Everywhere I went they told me I would get a gut feeling on where to sign, and when I visited Boise State I just had that feeling and knew I didn't wanna go anywhere else" LB commit Brandon Hawkins on why Boise State.
