Spring Football Is Back

Across the country many schools are gearing up for Spring ball and some are actually starting Spring ball today.

Out here in the frozen tundra of Idaho, Boise State will have its first spring practice today. I do hope some one snow plowed the field.

We have had snow storms over the last two days. I don't know much about global warming, but out here in spud peeler land, we would welcome some warming. Right now it is a blistering 32 degrees, a heat wave as of late.

regardless of weather and temperatures the sow must and will go on, spring football at both the high school and college level are here.

As a 40 year Boise State fan I look forward to what the Broncos will bring to the table this season. They have said they will focus on the running game as well they should. Last season the finished 54th in the nation, the lowest out put since 2003 when they had a receiving corp and quarterback second to none. Quarterback Ryan Dinwiddie lead the nation in passing efficiency that year.

Graduation claiming star running back Ian Johnson leaves big shoes to fill. Where Boise needs the most work is the offensive line. They did well last season pass blocking for red shirt quarterback sensation Kellen Moore but the run blocking was lacking and it showed all season long.

As die hard football fans Spring ball has to carry us till fall camp when we all anxiously await the call our perspective teams opening kick off.
In the mean time I wish some one out here in Idaho would pay the electric bill, its freezing the tater tots.
