Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Behind every smile is an untold story—a story the world doesn’t see, and a story that, at times, is too painful to share and talk about. 

Sometimes that smile is a sign of strength and courage. And sometimes, that smile is to hide the pain that stems from circumstances and experiences that life has left us to figure out and navigate.

🔼 Football is in the Air. The Boise State football team will begin conference action with a road trip to Air Force tomorrow. Kickoff on Saturday is scheduled for 5 p.m. MT.
 
Boise State will open Mountain West play against Air Force after having claimed conference titles in back-to-back seasons. Through 14 seasons as members of the league, Boise State is 12-2 in MW openers and boasts an 11-3 mark in conference road openers. The Broncos have been a dominant force in the league, boasting a 90-17 (.841) record, with only five of those 17 losses coming by more than seven points. Boise State enters the matchup having won 27 of its last 30 MW games.

🏈: OPENING KICKOFF

🔼 Broncos Are Built Different. Boise State Athletics has launched the Built Different Network, connecting members through a platform designed to boost revenue, increase visibility, and create community impact for Idaho companies, supporting the drive for competitive excellence across all 18 Bronco sports programs in the new era of revenue-sharing.

The network is an outcome of the Built Different Initiative, a fundraising effort led by Boise State head football coach Spencer Danielson and the Bronco Athletic Association (BAA) team, to reach out to local businesses and community partners interested in supporting Boise State through the transformational shift in college athletics as a result of the House Settlement.

🗣 "With the success of the Built Different Initiative and launch of BroncoPRO, creating the Built Different Network and offering more value was the natural next step," said Jeramiah Dickey, Boise State Director of Athletics.

🔼 Soccer Placeholder.

🔼 Rabbit Rabbit. Boise State (7-2) closes the nonconference portion of its schedule this week in Brookings, South Dakota, where the Broncos will face the South Dakota State Jackrabbits twice, Friday at 5 p.m. MT and on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Last week, Boise State went 3-0 to win the Boise State Invitational championship with victories over Utah Tech (3-0), San Francisco (3-0) and Idaho State (3-1). Sydney Dreves was named the tournament MVP, while Arianna Bilby and Kailyn Jager were named to the all-tournament team.

ℹ️ TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 11!

The football ticket sellouts extend Boise State's sellout streak to 11 consecutive games, the longest stretch since a 19-game sellout streak from 2006-09. Last year, the Broncos sold out all six regular season games on The Blue as well as the Mountain West Championship.

🔷 Have a great weekend, Bronco Nation!
