Boise State Loses to Utah State 4-3
The Lady Bronco softball team has fallen behind Utah State 2-0 in the third. Allie Crump is pitching for the Broncos in Logan.
(Refresh often for updates.)
Utah State added one in the third to make it 3-0. Crump just doubled in Holly Bourke for Boise State's first run. Two errors in the inning have aided the Bronco cause. With runners on second and third and freshman phenom Devon Bridges up, the Aggies did not intentionally walk her, which in itself is unbelievable. Then, when she hit it, they made an error, allowing a second run to score. Tazz Weatherly flied out with the bases loaded, so the score remains Utah State 3, Boise State 2.
Mackenzie Whyte has come through in the fifth, doubling in Kellie Caplan with the tying run. Boise State has one out with Whyte on second. The Broncos loaded the bases but Whyte was thrown out at the plate to end the threat--still tied at 3.
Boise State will have to fight from behind once again. USU scored on a sac fly in the bottom of the fifth and leads again 4-3. Lela Wok has had to come on for the Broncos.
No luck for Boise State in the sixth--the game moves to the 7th for the Broncos' last chance. It will be Bourke, Whyte and Crump for Boise State. First place on the line.
Bourke comes through with a leadoff single, Whyte singles to right. Runners on first and second, no outs. Crump was out at first, but she did move Bourke to third and Whyte to second. Will they do the smart thing and walk Bridges this time?
Yes, the bases are loaded for Vanessa Alvarez. She popped up, meaning two outs. Lela Work is up with the Broncos down to their final out. She grounds out, and the Aggies have pulled off the upset.

Boise State Men's Team Off to Great Start
While their counterparts are struggling mightily at the WAC women's championships, the Boise State men's golf team is golfing well at the moment at the PING Championship hosted by departing Mountain West school BYU. The Broncos have suddenly caught fire and have tied Utah State for the lead (3 under par) in the 18-team tournament. Better yet, Boise State is ahead of WAC members Nevada, Idaho and Fresno State, host BYU which is abandoning the Mountain West, Utah, which the Pac-10 chose for their conference, and future Mountain West Conference mates UNLV, Colorado State, Air Force and Wyoming.
Colorado State is two back of the leaders, Utah is one back while UNLV is even so far.
UPDATE: UNLV caught fire and leads after one day, eight strokes under par. The Broncos, meanwhile, unfortunately settled back to their performance so far this year and are 3 over, tied for seventh.

Boise State Women Off to Last Place Start
The Bronco women knew going into the Western Athletic Conference Golf Championship that they were at the bottom looking up, and the view hasn't changed so far.
Boise State is currently a plus 14, tied for last with Nevada and 12 strokes behind leader Hawai'i. The Wahine are just two shots over on the Mesa, Arizona course while San Jose State and Idaho are tied at 4 over. Fresno State is plus 7 while New Mexico State is in fifth, 11 over par.
Update--The rest of the lower tier is trying to come down to Boise State's level, so if the Lady Broncos can get their game going, they might be able to move up by default. Pre-meet favorite San Jose State is now in first, 9 strokes over. Hawai'i is now 11 over with Idaho 16 over in third place. New Mexico State and Nevada, two schools that are chasing Boise State for the WAC Commissioner's Cup, are tied at 18 over par, with Fresno State 20 over and Boise State now 24 over.
Update--This indeed happened, as Idaho is now 30 over for last place--after the bad start, Boise State seemed to settle down and finished 26 over. New Mexico State finished the first round 21 over and Fresno State 24 over, so the Broncos are in position to finish in the upper half, provided they relax and play with confidence tomorrow. Nevada finished as the first round leader 17 over while San Jose State is 18 over.

Boise State Loses 6-1 to #8 Stanford
The Broncos got a lesson today in Palo Alto. Sears was the only Bronco who won and most of the matches were not close. Boise State must now shrug that off because they have crucial matches against Western Athletic Conference foes Fresno State and Hawai'i this weekend.
Glass & Gher Head to Nationals
Boise State fell hundreds of a point shy of qualifying for their first NCAA National Gymnastics Tournament. Two Broncos, however, did qualify individually, and tomorrow Amy Glass and Bekah Gher will be out to prove themselves in Cleveland.
Glass qualified in the all-around competition, while Gher will compete on beam. Both will begin competition at 4 p.m. Mountain Time. Glass will begin on beam, followed by a bye, then will take to the floor, the vault, have another bye and finish up on bars. Glass will rotate with the #1 Florida team, the team that the Broncos nearly beat at Regionals. Gher will compete in the third rotation along with the Kent State Team.
Best of luck to Amy and Bekah!

Boise State Tennis Team Gets Chance to Prove Itself
The Boise State tennis team has had its troubles with Top 40 teams. Today, Coach Greg Patton's group gets yet another opportunity against #8 Stanford. The match between the Cardinal and Broncos is underway in Palo Alto.
Bronco Basketball Team Gets Stronger
Boise State basketball coach Leon Rice made it official with the announcement of three new recruits on LOI Day. Kenny Buckner, Jarrell Crayton and Igor "Iggy" Hadziomerovic will join the Bronco team that advanced to the semi-finals of the and were one of the last college basketball teams still playing.
“We are very excited to coach and develop this class,” Rice said. “Although this is a very diverse group, they share a common love for the game and a desire to improve. They are high-character young men who care about their teammates and this program. Bronco Nation will enjoy watching them in the years to come.”
Buckner (6-9, 250) is the newest recruit from the legendary College of Southern Idaho program to come down Interstate 84 and play for Boise State. Buckner gives the Broncos a tall, muscular force in the middle, something they haven't had for a while. Bucker was one of the key reasons why the Golden Eagles (33-4) swept to yet another Junior College National Championship, averaging 10.8 points and 10.0 rebounds during the national tournament. Buckner was named to the All-Region team and was also named to the NJCAA All-Tournament Team. Last season, Buckner led CSI in field goal perentage (59.3%) and was second in rebound with an 8.2 average. Boise State is very fortunate to get a student-athlete of Buckner's caliber.
Crayton (6-7, 210) has a good frame that strength coach Tim Socha can work with. He played power forward for Sheridan College each of the past two seasons. Crayton led te Generals in scoring (15.4 ppg) and rebounding (7.6) and helped his team to the championship of the Region IX Tournament. He was All-Region last season and all-conference as a freshman. Last year, Crayton averaged 11 points and seven rebounds per game. Together with Buckner, Crayton will help solidify the inside game for Boise State.
Hadziomerovic is a 6-4, 200-pound guard from Melbourne, Australia who will have four years. Hadziomerovic will represent Australia at the U19 World Championships in Latvia this summer. He averaged 23 points and five assists for Victoria State, helping his team win the U20 National Championship.
With all the talent coming back for Coach Rice, this trio will give Boise State a solid team next winter.

Erickson Wins Greco-Roman Junior Nationals
Boise State's Toby Erickson, who saw limited action last fall, has won the 264.5-pound Greco-Roman championship at the FILA Junior National Wrestling Championship in Cleveland, Ohio.
Erickson downed Parker Betts 6-0 and 2-1 to win the title and finished second in the freestyle competition. Toby was 1-2 in dual competition for the Bronco wrestling team this past season.

Nelson Wins WAC Honor
The Boise State track team didn't fare particularly well at the Sun Angel Classic, but Alex Nelson did, and his hammer throw win earned Nelson an honor from the Western Athletic Conference office.
The WAC named Nelson as its Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for his performance in Tempe. Nelson tossed the hammer 208-feet, 8-inches to win the Collegiate Division event. He not only won that event, but his mark would have placed second in the so-called "Premier" hammer throw as well. Nelson now owns the best mark in the WAC this season, the only Bronco to have that distinction in any event.

Winn Named to Lott Trophy Watch List
Boise State defensive tackle Billy Winn received word that he is on the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List this coming season. The Lott Trophy is given annually to the top collegiate defensive player in the nation.
This alone lets Winn know what he must achieve this fall. For the Broncos to be the kind of team that the players, coaches and fans want them to be, Winn must be a leader (if not The Leader) on a Boise State defense that will again be one of the best in the nation. Billy has had his moments of greatness (his knifing through the Oregon offensive line to nab LaGarrette Blount for a safety is one), but the Broncos are looking for him to thoroughly dominate the opposition on every play, to be so much of a threat that opposing offensive coordinators are constantly drawing up double-teams and having to change their offense because of him. If Winn forces that, it doesn't matter which and how many awards he receives; he will have done his job.
The Western Athletic Conference never recognized Winn as a first-team player (to each his own, I suppose.) He has had 22 tackles for loss and 10 sacks combined in the last two seasons. Now, Billy needs to ring up those kind of numbers in one year to rise to the next level.
There are 42 others on the Lott Impact list--IMPACT stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity, qualities that Ronnie Lott himself stood for. More than 200 former stars and coaches, media members and LOTT Board members vote on the finalists, which will all be recognized at the Lott IMPACT Trophy banquet December 11 in Newport Beach, California.

Blue-Orange Game Set for Saturday at 5
Of course the real "moment of truth" will be this fall, but in a way, it will be Saturday for the Boise State football team. The Broncos will be on display for all to see how what they have learned in spring ball.
There have been several things to look for:
1. Who is going to step up at receiver? Tyler Shoemaker is the most seasoned, but you can't beat Georgia (or TCU, or Fresno State, or Air Force, or Nevada.....). with one receiver
2. Has the defense conditioned itself so they can play four full quarters against a quality opponent without getting tired, ala the Nevada game?
3. Will the Broncos have a kicker they can rely on to make the clutch field goal for them?
4. Who will step up at safety to replace Jeron Johnson?
Boise State lost several players and a lot of talent off the team that lost a game last year, but we know that the Broncos reload each year and new players become stars before our eyes. To be honest, there isn't a lot of improving that has to be done, but the four areas mentioned above must be taken care of for Boise State to dream of a game in January.
It will be an exciting year, if for no other reason because Boise State is entering a new conference, the Mountain West, with a new group of conference rivals and a new set of challenges. The quality level goes up considerably week to week. I always felt that the top part of the Western Athletic Conference could compete with most teams, but it was #4-#9 where it was suspect and fell behind the Mountain West and the "BCS" conferences. That isn't to say the games were easy--Boise State could always count on getting another team's best effort, and that was something most outsiders could never understand. But now, you not only get an opponent's best shot, but you get opponents that are solid top to bottom in the Mountain West.
So Saturday, fans will get to see the "new Broncos", without Titus Young and Austin Pettis, without Jeron Johnson, Winston Venable and the rest of the talented senior class that surpassed all others before them. That said, the Blue & Orange Game is nothing more than a glorified scrimmage. Still, to the finely tuned Bronco fan's eyes, there will be enough action to be able to answer the questions posed above either affirmatively or negatively.
The "Game" starts at 5 p.m. Saturday in Bronco Stadium. It will be most interesting to see how this new group of Broncos is progressing.

Lady Broncos Gear Up for WAC Golf Championship
The Boise State women's golf team has been improving recently, and they'll need to be at their best next weekend as another championship in the Western Athletic Conference is decided. The Championship will be in Mesa, Arizona Friday through Sunday.
Devon Bridges Becomes 3rd Player in NCAA History With 3 Slams in a Season
Prior to this season, only two collegiate softball players had ever hit three grand slams in a season.
Better make it three. Boise State freshman phenom Devon Bridges hit another salami yesterday to key a seven-run inning and complete a Bronco sweep of Louisiana Tech. It was Bridges' third of the season and she still has plenty of games to go. She homered with the bases full in the 17th game of the season against Seattle, did it again on May 26 in a victory over Nevada and cleared the bases again this afternoon.
Bridges has now reached base safely in 28 games in a row. The Broncos head out on the road for an eight-game trip beginning with three against Utah State.

Megale made it 2-0 after Kulaif withdrew from their match at No. 1 singles; at the time Megale was leading 6-3, 2-1. Edwards won her match 6-2, 6-3. Pietzuch clinched the match with a 6-0, 6-3 disposal of Williams. Morgan Basil added a win at No. 6 singles for the final Bronco win.
