Good Morning, Bronco Nation!

Boise State and Nike have released a 20th anniversary collection honoring the perfect 13-0 season of 2006 and the Fiesta Bowl finish that made the Broncos a national name. The apparel brings back the custom Bronco marks and typography from that era, retired in 2012, with a "13-0" wordmark and "Perfect Season" designation on the front. The back carries a handwritten diagram of the Statue of Liberty play alongside "Statue Left." The collection includes tees, fleece crews, hoodies, and Nike hats, plus a commemorative New Era cap featuring the 2007 Fiesta Bowl logo.

What else is mixed into today’s edition of Good Morning, Bronco Nation?

🔼 Twenty Years Later. Boise State honors the 2006 Broncos this Saturday, with members of the team, coaches, and staff on hand as the program celebrates the 20th anniversary of its undefeated season. It's also Homecoming, Parent/Family Weekend, and the Broncos' first Pac-12 game, with Utah State coming to Albertsons Stadium for a 5:30 p.m. kickoff. That 2006 team finished 13-0, the only unbeaten squad in the country, and capped it with a 43-42 overtime win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

🔼 B1 Feature: Playing With a Purpose. Before every match, Sydney Dreves ties an orange ribbon to her shoelaces for her dad. Patrick Dreves was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2022 but kept it from his daughters for nearly two years so they could chase their own goals without worrying about him, a decision that reshaped how Sydney approaches everything. A former collegiate soccer and tennis player and a 17-year coach with a stacked résumé, Patrick still makes it to as many of his daughters' matches as he can. Sydney has used her platform to raise MS awareness, and the Broncos host their Volley for a Cause night Oct. 15 against Washington State.

🔼 New League, Old Foes. Boise State men's basketball has its first Pac-12 schedule, a 16-game slate split evenly between home and road, running January into early March. The Broncos open Jan. 6 at Utah State, a program they've faced 63 times dating back to 1974, then return home for Oregon State and Washington State. A trip to Gonzaga's McCarthey Athletic Center on Jan. 16 is Boise State's first since 1999, and the Broncos will host the Bulldogs in February for the first time since 2000. Texas State also comes to ExtraMile Arena for the first time in program history on Feb. 20.

🔼 Pac-12 Play Opens. Boise State soccer starts conference play tonight at San Diego State at 8 p.m. MT before returning home Sunday to host Gonzaga at 1 p.m. MT. The Broncos bring a six-match winning streak into the stretch, the longest active run in the Pac-12 and third-longest in the country, along with seven shutouts that lead the conference and set a program record for a nonconference season. Campbell Wilson paces all freshmen nationally with 22 points. Sunday's match against Gonzaga is the first meeting between the two programs since 2016.

🔼 Home Conference Swing. Boise State volleyball hosts San Diego State today at 6 p.m. MT and Texas State on Saturday at noon MT, both at Bronco Gym. The Broncos arrive off their first Pac-12 win, a 3-1 takedown of Gonzaga that featured a season-high 14 blocks and three players with double-digit kills. Boise State leads the conference with 757 total digs and eight sweeps, both tops in the league, and Melia Barlow paces the Pac-12 with 202 digs. Saturday's match against Texas State will be the first meeting between the two programs in Boise.

🔼 Dress Code. Coming to Albertsons Stadium on Saturday? Here’s what to wear!

🔼 Rolling Into Denver. Boise State women's golf heads to the Ron Moore Intercollegiate Oct. 2-4 fresh off a 14-stroke team win at the Kalispel Invitational. The Broncos play one round per day at University of Denver Golf Club in a 15-team field, teeing off at 10:20 a.m. Friday. Leia Chung arrives having just claimed her school-record fifth career individual title, and she owns the program's lowest career scoring average at 72.81. Boise State has won a team title in five straight seasons under head coach Kailin Downs.

🔼 Bay Area Bound. Boise State men's tennis is off to San Francisco for the Battle in the Bay Classic Oct. 1-4, joining a 14-school field at the California Tennis Club that includes Duke, Georgia, Stanford, Texas, and TCU. Stewart Aronson makes his first appearance of the fall, joined by Izan Orgiles, who went a perfect 4-0 in singles at the Dar Walters Fall Classic. Play begins each day at 9 a.m. with doubles followed by singles, and all matches count toward ITA results.

🔼 Off the Blue. Middle blocker Kendall Hastings joins Off the Blue to talk about her path from walk-on to Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, the culture behind this Bronco squad, and more.

How many goals has Boise State allowed through 10 matches?
