Friday Night College Football Play: Boise St.

How about Boise St. giving 21 points to Fesno when the game is in Fresno?

On paper and without thinking, you would just put down your money and take Fresno.  But it's a down year for Pat Hill and Fesno.  Fresno State is 2-3 and last week lost to Ole Miss at home.

Boise won this game 51-0 last year, and Fresno doesn't look like they've recovered. 

One important trend to keep in mind is Boisr St. is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games.  pretty strong!

Take Boise and give the points.

ESPN Radio Adds a Station in the Bahamas

ESPN is living up to it's nickname as "The Worldwide Leader".

In its first affiliate deal in the Caribbean, ESPN Radio signed Navetter Broadcasting Company’s “SportsRadio103” ZSR-FM in the Bahamian capital of Nassau on the Bahamas most populous island of New Providence. The Bahamas’ rabid American sports fan base will now have access to daily special features and overnight programs, as well as “SportsCenter” and other weekend shows.

ESPN Caribbean and Maritime Media VP Bernard Stewart says, “This is another step in ESPN’s goal to deliver to sports fans in the Caribbean top quality sports entertainment wherever they are.”

Navetter Broadcasting GM Vann Ferguson adds, “Bahamians are as fanatical about the NBA, NFL and NCAA as Americans and enthusiastically follow sports on TV. Our carrying ESPN programming on radio is an added treat for fans to stay informed and hear games when they are unable to catch them on TV.”

Dallas Hit By Snow

I turn on ESPN's Mike and Mike this morning who are broadcasting from Ft. Worth, Texas and what do I see?  They are getting hit with a blizzard in Texas. 

The last time Atlanta had the Super Bowl, there was a ice storm during the week.  The media ripped the NFL for letting Atlanta have the Super Bowl because of weather.  Not sure if they will do the same in Dallas. 

This is a legitimate winter storm that is stretching across the country.  At the very least, it may delay some of the media who will rip everything about a Super Bowl city from getting into town.  I'm sure they will rip they airlines and Mother Nature, too.

What Was Going On With Donald Trump's Hair?

Tucked away safely in the Craft's owners box, Donald Trump thought he was protected from the elements. 

He was fine, but that alien lifeform that is his hair almost was the play of the year.

Wind gusts lifted it, but it didn't move out of place.  Just watch the video and imagine what could've been.

Friday Night College Football Pick: Boise St.

An easy play tonight as Boise State travels to Idaho.  Boise is favored by 35 over those Vandals, but expect them to be up by close to those 35 by half-time.

Boise turns it on and rolls tonight on ESPN.  They are still hoping for a Auburn loss,(or Cam Newton suspension) and Oregon to fall in one of its remaining games.

Take Boise tonight.
