Good Morning, Bronco Nation!

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

🏆 A Program First
👟 Week 4 Rankings
🔹 And so much more!

🔼 On TV. The Pac-12 dropped Boise State men’s basketball’s television schedule, and 22 of the Broncos’ 31 regular season games will be broadcast, including the entire 16-game conference slate. Nine land on USA, seven on CBSSN, five on The CW, and one on BTN. The TV run opens Nov. 8 at home against Butler at noon MT on USA. The one circled on the calendar: Gonzaga comes to Boise on Feb. 10 for the first time in over 25 years, 6 p.m. MT on The CW.

🎟️ Season tickets are on sale now, with single game passes coming later this month.

🔼 A Program First. No freshman in Boise State history had ever won a conference offensive player of the week award until Azlynn Tittmann did it this week, and she’s the only freshman in the entire Pac-12 to earn any conference honor this season. The run that got her there: a career-high 21 kills at a .442 clip against Utah State, then 16 more against Fresno State, 37 total across two road wins. She’s the first Bronco this season to hit 20 kills in a match and the first freshman anywhere in the program to do it since 2019. Washington State comes to Bronco Gym tonight at 6 p.m. MT.

🎃 Kick-or-Treat. Are you ready to get in the Halloween spirit with Boise State soccer? Come on out to Kick-or-Treat on Saturday at 6 p.m. as the Broncos battle Oregon State. All kids in costume get in free to enjoy trick-or-treating in the tailgate area, the Bronco Sports Garden, and face painting. See you there!

🔼 Week 4 Rankings. The Week 4 rankings are in, and the Boise State women’s team checks in at No. 7 in the west region, while the men are ranked No. 8!

🔼 Off the Blue. In the latest edition of Off the Blue, Boise State volleyball’s Melia Barlow sits down to talk about the team’s hot conference start and shares more about what life was like growing up in Arizona.

🔼 Three & Counting. Boise State volleyball rides a three-match winning streak into tonight’s home date with Washington State at 6 p.m. MT, then heads to Gonzaga on Saturday at 1 p.m. MT. The Broncos lead the Pac-12 in sweeps, digs, and service aces, and they’re coming off a road trip that produced two season highs and Azlynn Tittmann’s career-best 21-kill night. Thursday’s match is a long time coming; Boise State and Washington State haven’t played since 2008. The Broncos already handled Gonzaga once this season, taking a 3-1 win at home in front of 2,290, the biggest volleyball crowd in Idaho history.

🔼 Welcome to Boise State. Boise State has hired Austin Tyrrell as associate athletic director of revenue generation and membership development, putting him in charge of ticket operations and sales strategy, premium seating and parking, and Bronco Athletic Association membership. He arrives after five years with Learfield Amplify that included stops at Alabama, St. Thomas, and Vanderbilt; at Alabama he grew softball ticket revenue 31 percent and delivered back-to-back men’s basketball season ticket sellouts. Learfield named him Amplify Director of the Year in 2025. He was a tight end at Stetson and a national semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy.

Who was the last Bronco volleyball player to win a conference offensive weekly award before Azlynn Tittmann?
