WAC Track Championships--Current Standings
The Triple Jump has just been decided on the women's side--Louisiana Tech came away with the lion's share of the points. Just the 5,000-meters and the 4 x 400-meter relay for both sexes remains.
Tech went to town in the triple jump, far better than expected, and it now appears they will win their seventh consecutive title. Men's side still to close to call between Boise State and Utah State, but the Broncos would have to outdual the Aggies in the 5,000--

2. Boise State 138
3. Louisiana Tech 113
4. Fresno State 83
5. Idaho 71

BREAKING--Boise State Has Clinched Commissioner's Cup
With Fresno State unable to finish higher than third in women's track and with the Boise State men clinching at least second in men's track, the Broncos have clinched the WAC Commissioner's Cup.
There are five events left in track but most of the team placings are pretty well decided, including the important information shown above. As of the moment, Boise State has at least 90.75 Cup points and the most that Fresno State can get is 90.25 points with championships in softball and baseball.
This is the second consecutive year that Boise State has won the Cup, and the third time in the last six years.
Congratulations to Boise State, to Athletic Director Gene Bleymaier, the entire athletic department staff and especially to all the coaches and tremendous student-athletes for a job well done!

WAC Softball Tournament: Fresno State Leading Lousiana Tech
Fresno has a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 7th. This is a rematch from their first-round game in which Tech won. Boise State awaits the winner tonight at 8. The winner of that game will meet New Mexico State in te championship tomorrow afternoon and must win twice to be crowned WAC Champion.
WAC Softball: New Mexico State Pours It On Boise State 7-0
(Refresh for updates.)
Some teams just seem to have your number, but can they really win four in a row over a great Boise State team? Apparently so.
However, the Bronco defense is letting them down this time. Both teams had five hits, but Boise State committed three errrors, and New Mexico State had a 4-0 lead after 4 and a half. Still manageable. But, a three-run homer in the bottom of the fifth had Boise State facing a 7-0 deficit. Boise State plays well against everyone in the conference but when they meet New Mexico State, they fall apart.
New Mexico State gets a berth in the championship. Boise State faces the winner of the Fresno State-Louisiana Tech game at 8 p.m. tonight in order to get there.

Another Path to the Cup
In the Cup Standings I posted earlier, I mentioned that if the Boise State men's track team finished ahead of Fresno State, Boise State would clinch the WAC Commissioner's Cup. I just analyzed all the data from softball and track and here is another path:
If the Boise State softball team wins today, Boise State will also all but clinch the Cup. This is because the Lady Broncos would get a minimum of 3.5 points for postseason in softball and the most Fresno State could get would be 4 for postseason. Fresno State is likely to get 6.5 points for baseball (second place in the regular season and first in the tournament). There are still two weeks left in that season--currently Hawai'i is 13-4 and Fresno State is 13-7. The highest that Fresno State can now finish in women's track is third place while Boise State could get last, resulting in a five-point advantage there. The lowest that Boise State can now finish in men's track is third and the highest Fresno State can finish is first, resulting in a two-point difference.
Add them together:
0.5
6.5
5.0
2.0
= 14 is the maximum number of points that Fresno could pick up. Fresno State is 14.25 points behind currently. Again, note that if Fresno State could bounce back and win the regular season in baseball, that would give them a half a point which would win the cup by .25 points.
In any case, an announcement could be coming today. It isn't a "done deal" yet.

Up-to-the Minute WAC Commissioner's Cup Standings
With Utah State and Hawai'i eliminated from the WAC Softball Championships, here are the up-to-date Commissioner's Cup Standings. As I mentioned in the other post, Utah State and New Mexico State have been eliminated from taking the Cup this year. The maximum that both schools can now reach will not catch Boise State.
Stay tuned to this blog and, barring the same awful blogspot closure that happened yesterday, I could have an announcement of the clinching of the Cup before the day is out.

Which Receiver (s) Will Now Hop Aboard Boise State?
Recruits have all kinds of reasons for choosing which school they want to go to, but if I'm a receiver, I jump all over Boise State with quarterback Nick Patti committed. The other things are all great, but if I'm a football player, I sure as heck want a great quarterback thowing to me. Patti is that guy.
I could be wrong, but I see a commitment coming from one of the following very soon:
Conner Crane
Gerald Thomas
Demetrious Davis
Chris Davis
Shane Rhoades
Bryce Treggs

Patti Commits to Boise State
Last Week, I told you that Boise State was interested in Florida quarterback Nick Patti. Now we know that the feeling is mutual as several sources have said that Patti has committed to Boise State. According to the reports, Patti will be the only quarterback in the 2012 Recruting Class.
According to my source in Florida, Patti is the top quarterback in the state. He won MVP quarterback awards at Nike camps in both Miami and Tallahassee. He completed 66.9% of his throws for 28 touchdowns and just one interception. Not only can he sling the ball like Kellen Moore, but he has 4.49 speed in the 40. Patti ran for 377 yards as a junior.
Patti's father, Ed, was interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel, and had this to say:
"As a father, when you hand your son over to somebody you want to have a lot of respect for the person you are handing him over to. "Chris Petersen is the real deal."
Nick did not see any program that was able to match Boise State, as he explained to the Sentinel:
"I don't see that happening and that's why I pulled the trigger so soon," Nick said. "Anyone could come and put them right next to Boise and it would still be the best place for me."

"As a father, when you hand your son over to somebody you want to have a lot of respect for the person you are handing him over to. "Chris Petersen is the real deal."
Nick did not see any program that was able to match Boise State, as he explained to the Sentinel:
"I don't see that happening and that's why I pulled the trigger so soon," Nick said. "Anyone could come and put them right next to Boise and it would still be the best place for me."

Utah State and New Mexico State Eliminated From WAC Commissioner's Cup Race
With the results yesterday from softball and track, Utah State and New Mexico State have both been eliminated from the WAC Commissioner's Cup race. Even if those two schools finished as high as possible the rest of the way, they can not catch Boise State. It's down to a two-school race between the Broncos and Fresno State.
Another easy item to follow--if the Boise State men's track team finishes ahead of Fresno State (it doesn't matter which position), Boise State will clinch the Cup. In any case, we could know as early as today if Boise State has clinched its second Cup win in four years.

Broncos Win Thriller Against Louisiana Tech 3-2
First of all, I want to say that Megan Krieg of Louisiana Tech is amazing. She first shut down Fresno State on two hits on their home field, then allowed just two runs through 12 innings against a powerful Boise State team. She struck out 16 but walked 8 (actually can't believe the Tech coach left her in that long). I guess they figured she was doing so amazing that once they took her out, Tech would lose their best chance.
Holly Bourke's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 13th inning finally ending the marathon. I'm surprised that Tech came back and won its game last night after going 13 with Boise State. Credit Lela Work who usually does spot duty but yesterday pitched I believe the last 9 innings, hold Tech down.
Meanwhile, the Broncos get their shot at New Mexico State this afternoon at 3 Mountain Time. Boise State needs to win one of the next two games to reach the championship game.

My Apologies
The entire Blogspot.com network has been down since 1:30 yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. As you know, I pride myself in providing the most complete and up-to-date information on the Broncos and just as the Hawai'i-New Mexico State game was coming to an exciting finish, the blog went down. So I have lots to tell you!
