Fresno State vs. Boise State

I just flipped the game on.

Anyone notice that Don Zimmer is one of the officials of the game. Okay, okay he at least looks a bit like him.

P.S. Boise State has the blue field because Canadian Geese take dumps on green fields. If it looks like water then they don't. But occasionally they think it's water and plummet to it to their death.
I hope some people find that educational. I heard the story a few months ago.

Why don't they take dumps in water ?

Why do they always take dumps on my red car ?

I live here and I've never heard that. But I do know a guy with a hook who lives near Lover's Lane, puts cats in microwaves and catches alligators in the sewer system.

23-10 BSU with 4:00 left in the 3rd. They're looking better than I thought they would. Best game they've played in five weeks.

The 19th-ranked Broncos dominated the once-17th-ranked Fresno State Bulldogs 33-16 on ESPN2, leading throughout for the first time since the season opener against Idaho.

The Broncos extended their winning streaks to 18 overall, 22 in WAC games, 23 on the blue turf and 12 on ESPN networks with a rejuvenated defense and a ball-control offense. They also seized sole possession of first place in the WAC, the conference they have won the past two years, as Louisiana Tech lost to UTEP. Those teams are tied for second at 3-1.

The Broncos held Fresno State to season lows for first downs (nine), rushing attempts (17), rushing yards (17), total plays (47) and total yards (191).

The station was interviewing the SID and he said that was the original reason. Now they have it because it is distinctive. It went to a vote and 80% of the vote wanted blue.

They asked him about the rumors about geese dying by diving in the water and he said he wouldn't admit it but generally it was one of those things where he made it obvious it does happen but was concerned about the animal rights uproar if it was made official so he just said he couldn't confirm it or deny it and he was sticking to that story.
