Good Morning, Bronco Nation!

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

🏐 Two on the Road
🏀 One More Tune-Up
🔹 And so much more!

🔼 Two on the Road. Boise State volleyball heads out for a pair of Pac-12 matches, visiting San Diego State tonight and Texas State on Saturday morning, both streaming on Pac-12 YouTube. The Aztecs sit second in the conference and own a one-match edge in the all-time series after beating the Broncos in Bronco Gym earlier this year, while Boise State is chasing a season sweep of the Bobcats. The Broncos lead the Pac-12 in both sweeps and digs heading into the trip.

🔼 One More Tune-Up. Boise State men’s basketball closes exhibition play this evening at ExtraMile Arena against Bismarck State, the first meeting between the schools and the Mystics’ first game ever against a Division I opponent. The Broncos have shot better than 50 percent in both exhibitions, with Aginaldo Neto going a perfect 7-for-7 for 29 points against Washington and Dovydas Butka posting back-to-back double-doubles. Tip is at 7 p.m. MT, streaming on YouTube and airing on 670 AM KBOI.

🔼 Broncos in the NFL. Ten former Boise State players suit up in Week Eight, headlined by John Bates and Washington hosting Philadelphia in a Sunday night NFC East matchup on NBC. George Holani and DeMarcus Lawrence close out the week Monday when Seattle welcomes Chicago to a defense allowing a league-low 233.9 yards per game. Ashton Jeanty keeps piling up work for the Raiders, leading all NFL running backs in both receptions and receiving yards.

🔼 At the Table. Boise State’s freshman student-athletes gathered with staff, alumni, and donors for the BroncoLife Freshman Etiquette Dinner, an evening of professional dining instruction aimed at building confidence in unfamiliar settings. Great food, even better company!
