Oh Bronco Nation Podcast, Where Art Thou?
Oct 6th
This past summer Cliff Marks and I entered into a blogging partnership. As part of the partnership the Bronco Nation Podcast has a new home. Cliff and his underlings have worked very hard in designing the New Blue Turf Nation website. I must say I am very impressed.
So what has changed?
Well if you are an iTunes or RSS subscriber to the show, I have worked some Interweb Magic and you will still receive the feed as you always have. 
If you listen to the show via the website you will need direct your favorite Internet browser to http://blueturfnation.com/topic/bronco-nation-podcast/. The new episodes of the show will no longer be found at http://bronconationpodcast.com.
Where to find past episodes?
I am working to propagate previous episodes of the show for prosperity and hope to have those available in the very near future. However, http://bronconationpodcast.com will never go away as I will use it as the archival site of the show.
What about OBNUG?
Last year Kevan, Drew and Nick allowed me to post a Fan Post for OBNUG viewers. Since that time the OBNUG team has started their own 5 Minute* Podcast. OBNUG is a great site and has a ton of different things going on. OBNUG has a strong following and each and every person commenting, posting and contributing in some way, are some of the best people around. There are no hard feelings, but I think having two shows that are somewhat the same is confusing. There are no hard feelings and I will continue to contribute to the comment section of the site.

Winston Venable Suspended for 1 Half
Sep 29th
Does Boise State’s Winston Venable Hit on James Rogers warrant a game suspension? The WAC thought so, but later reduced the suspension to a half against the New Mexico State Aggies this October 2nd. Below is video footage from this past Saturday’s game that has drawn a lot of attention from Karl Benson and WAC Officials.
Western Athletic Conference Supervisor of Officials Jim Blackwood, said Tuesday on Idaho SportsTalk the following:
“The player (James Rogers) that was hit was defenseless. The player (Winston Venable) that delivered the hit seemed intent on leaving a calling card.”
In a split second, as the video below shows, Venable had to adjust his path to OSU QB Ryan Kantz as James Rogers was pushed by BSU CB Jamar Taylor. It would appear that once Venable saw Rogers, who stands 5 foot 7 inches, he attempted to get lower in order to avoid taking a hit to a lower part of his body. It is highly unlikely in the brief moment Venable was thinking about leaving a “calling card.”
All athletes are coached to go at full speed in order to avoid injury. In this case had Venable slowed he could have likely been injured. Venable for his part used his hands to separate himself from Rogers during the hit.
This is my opinion of the play, but I would like to get your take on the hit. Please let us know what you thought about the play.
The best news out this whole situation is that James Rogers has been ruled eligible to play this week. I have nothing but respect for this student athlete. I wish him the best for the rest of this season and beyond.
