The April 14th , 2006 Boise State Blue/Orange Game

I attended my first Boise State Blue/Orange game. Peter from Bronco Nation and I went together, the pictures (the high quality at least) were taken with his camera. The indoor practice facility was open to the public. Inside was a 90 yard football field with Green, Yes Green field turf. There were about 10 Flat screen Televisions spaced evenly on each of the 4 walls playing previous game highlights. I can only think that those TV's will be used for immediate break down of practice footage.

There was a nice turn out for the Spring Football scrimmage. I was on the West Lower deck and it was full from side to side. As for the game the 2nd Team offense and 1st Team Defense won the epic battle 7-6 when the First Team Offense led by Taylor Tharp failed in the attempt to convert the 2 point conversion in the final minutes of the game. Overall it was great to see the Defense playing so well. However, Jared Zabranski was a huge disappointment throwing 2 interceptions (I guess the only positive for Jared was they went to a Boise State Player, LOL).

Afterwards fans were let down on the field. I got autographs from Sherm Blaser, Legedu Naanee, and Marty Tadman. Legadu was all smiles and all the players were very friendly. Taking pictures of the players and coaches was quite easy and Coach Petersen gave a great smile on one that Peter took. The only player that didn't want any part of that was Zabranski, he darted off the field as Peter was focusing in on him.

I enjoyed myself greatly. However it was a little different going to Bronco Stadium in the Middle of April to watch football. I hope to have more pictures forthcoming as I still have a few shots from my camera phone to transfer over.
