Mountain West Welcomes Boise State with Open Arms

Whereas many schools and fans of the Western Athletic Conference bad-mouthed Boise State, the Broncos are getting quite a welcome as they enter a new conference and a new era.

The Mountain (Cable One channel 329 and DirecTV channel 616) will feature three half-hour shows dedicated to welcoming Boise State.  "Boise State Football, an Epic Ascent" will get things started tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. Mountain Time.  That introduction will be followed by "Beyond the Blue:  Boise State Athletics" at 7:30 and "Welcome to Boise", a show dedicated to the community and university at 8 p.m.

The welcome mat is further extended Monday night as "Stories of the Mountain West" will feature Boise State at 7 p.m.  An Olympic sports salute to Boise State will be featured on "The Mountain Sports Report" at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, with "Around the Mountain", featuring an interview with Athletic Director Gene Bleymaier Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. and "It's a Numbers Game" Friday at 5:30 p.m.

In addition, some of Boise State's recent football games (Utah from 2006, Idaho from 2007 and Oregon from 2008) will be featured on the network.

Set your VCR's and Hello Mountain West--we love you back!
