Greetings Bronco Nation. After a few weeks of conducting and very unscientific poll it looks like Korey Hall, at this point is leading the way as the “Face of Boise State Football”, but with just 29 of you voting I am sure that Gallup won’t be publishing it. I will keep the poll open for a while so tell all of your friends.

In an unrelated item, this weekend many if not all season ticket holders received an interesting piece of mail about away game tickets. First was an individual game ticket application. For those interested the breakdown is as follows:

  • Southern Miss $37.00
  • San Jose State $37.00 (I hope this is just the Boise State Game Price)
  • New Mexico State $14.00 (anything to get people to attend)
  • Idaho $33.00 (are you serious?)
  • Nevada $31.00

It should be noted that the ticket office states on the form that there is a great demand for individual game orders and will be filled according to BAA priority and the date the order is received excluding the Oregon game. Oh the Oregon game is being handled a bit different.

In a separate form, any season ticket holder can submit an application for a Lottery to be held sometime after June 27, 2008. Those entering must pay for 2 tickets if selected and no more. ticket lottery Also those that are selected can pick up there tickets in Eugene, OR the day of the game with a photo ID. The total price is $112.00 and some mailing & processing of $5.00. What!  I have to pay a mailing fee for tickets that I have to pick up?

I have also heard comments that there are only 2000 tickets involved in the lottery, however in a recent post at Bronco Country an individual was told by a friend of a friend’s brother that works with the dad of a student that works part time in the Oregon ticket office that school will not be in session during the week of the BSU vs. Oregon game, which will mean a few more open seats. Bottom-line Bronco Nation, tickets for this possible historic moment in Boise State Football (yes beating a Pac-Ten team on the road will be historic) will be a rarity.

Fans may ask what are the alternatives, well according to News Channel 7’s David Augusto the BSU vs. Oregon game will be televised exclusively on KTVB 7.  When I say exclusive I mean no other channel in Boise will air the game, which means ESPN, ABC and Fox Sports passed on televising the game. It should be noted that Augusto failed to mention if KTVB is in negotiations to air the Southern Miss game.

With just under 76 days until the Idaho State game fans are getting a little more information to make game day viewing plans.  Of course based on this video from an article posted at Fight, Fight, BSU those heading to Bronco Stadium may have some worries.
