"Little" game coming up

After going 2 and 2 against 2004 bowl winners, the Broncos are due for a break. 1-AA Portland State will be a good "break" for the team. Now, I'm not assuming an automatic blow-out (although it may happen), but I do expect to see quite a few underclassmen getting some reps Saturday.

Marty Tadman commented that the defense was really looking forward to a more "traditional" offense coming into town. After enduring two of the most gimicky offenses around (Hawaii's run and shoot and Bowling Greens spread "no-huddle that takes longer than a huddle" offense), I'm sure he's right.

The weather for Saturday should be alright. There's a 30% chance of showers, but around here than could mean anything. I'm sure the temps will be in the comfortable range, and unless we get a monsoon, any precip should have no impact on either team.

There's a group from Bronco Country who are trying to get a new kickoff cheer going. Before the the kick the crowd is supposed to say, 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh'. When the kicker kicks it, the crowd is supposed to say, "Boooom!". When the received catches the ball, "Go BIG BLUE". Sounds kinda fun. We used to do something similar many, many years ago; but during the "Skip Hall dark ages", most of that went by the wayside.
