Of all the news regarding Boise State’s official first day of fall practice, the story that captured my eye wasn’t even a story, but rather a blip. After hitting all the media outlets absorbing all the Boise State info one could handle I came across Murph’s Turf. Not sure how I missed it, actually I do, but WOW! The Statesman has stepped into the 21st century. They started blogging a little over year ago and now Brian Murphy has ventured into Podcasting.

Now typically I would link to this, but alas linking to the actual audio would plug up my Podcast feed and I know you would not be happy thinking the gang had another show lined up. The bottom line is now the local media and more specifically the Idaho Statesman are finally on a level playing field with online media, CONGRATS!

Here is a brief summary (by no means is this 100% accurate, just from memory) of online media and how it relates to Boise State:

• First a little online forum that evolved into Bronco Country.
• Then a rival forum came along.
• Oh then I started a blog/podcast 3 years ago.
• Along came Fight, Fight BSU, Statue Left, OBNUG and J’s Blog, not sure the order.
• Finally after all this time, the Idaho Statesman has boldly stepped into the online audio broadcasting, aka Podcasting.

Now if they could some how create a page and feed so we all could subscribe. All kidding aside I want to wish Brian Murphy and gang all the luck this year plugging away at their new work task, it won’t be without sweat or tears.

One last thing, now that we are all equals with the local established media, can me, my blogging and Bronco Country buddies get some darn media credentials?
