She is doing great and so is mom.
Hey everyone. I was one of the 46 employees laid off by The Athletic today. It's surreal, but I've been lucky never facing this before. It was a wonderful experience, and have no regrets.
My DMs are open, my email is dksouthorn

More than anything, thank you BSU fans.
Leighton Vander Esch has paid $60,000 out of his own pocket for an updated weight room and equipment for his old high school. Plus, he had it in his Nike deal to get Salmon River new uniforms. I went up there last month to check it out for myself.
ANNOUNCEMENT: I am excited to formally say I have joined

While I've been unemployed, I've pretended to have a different job. Been playing a game called American Truck Simulator. The Idaho expansion came out today. Quite exciting.
What a win for Boise State. Down a handful of a starters, win over a rival, a top-10 team, on the road, as the season seemed to be getting away from them. Just huge.
And now Bundy is invoking the Holocaust, which is a trend among Idahoans against the order, including some politicians, an invocation that is obviously extremely offensive to a lot of people.
Nearly 100 games have passed since he left, but Kellen Moore is as popular as ever in Boise. I took a look at why, with some help from three dads who named their sons after him.

"So, Carmelo Anthony is one of the best NBA players of the last two decades, right? And Buddy Boeheim was going off in this NCAA Tournament game. Then they put up the picture of him - when he was a kid! - with Carmelo. Wild."
Congrats to
@BroncoSportsMBB
. Unreal. This game a perfect microcosm of defensive toughness, ability to win close games, get offense from a lot of sources. Fun team to watch - wouldn’t be surprised at to see them get their first ever NCAA Tournament win.
When I moved here in 2005, I was blown away by how nice people were…Minnesota level. But now? The angry, mean, vindictive and awful rule. Between this and some heinous laws being passed, the people in charge/reigning political sentiment are destroying the feeling I once had.
I’m old enough to remember when Boise would make the NYT for stuff like “Can You Believe There’s a Kinda Cool City in Idaho?” And things of that nature.
Now it’s “It’s Unsafe for the Mayor to Run in the Foothills Due to Violent Extremists.”
It has been officially released:

Happy to be one of the rare few to be in-person at tonight’s game.
Very excited to be contributing columns and features weekly for

Just one little personal one for me (there are a few with this guy)…but when I got laid off, two BSU football coaches reached out almost immediately. Spencer was one.
A little story about
@Coach_SD
… I work across the street from Albertsons stadium, and a couple years ago he came and asked for the manager. He said his parking spot at the football facility was blocked off and asked permission to park in my lot.
Fifty years ago today, Boise State played its first game in the new Bronco (now Albertsons) Stadium. It could not have opened in a crazier fashion, with a near death in full view of the fans just before kickoff…here’s the story, and a few fun asides.
Brett Rypien (778) now has more NFL passing yards than Kellen Moore (770) and Ryan Finley (638), so most among any quarterback that played at Boise State.
He has the support of a lot of former players, and I can confirm, via sources, that Montana State coach Jeff Choate will interview for the Boise State vacancy.
Choate was a BSU assistant from 2006-11, reached FCS semis last year.
Just remember, coaching rumors aren’t substantive until you hear from someone who knows someone who is a realtor and showed the coach’s wife some houses in the new city.
Tweeting this in the dark (our power is out - fun day!). I’ve seen an unbelievable amount of support, and that has truly made me feel better. I’ll get back to as many of you as I can when I get my head on straight. I love you all and appreciate you.
Harsin makes sure to praise the student section, how it showed up Friday.
As someone that's covered probably ~100 games here, I'm hard-pressed to think of a better showing, personally.
No need to overthink it: Andy Avalos is the right hire, especially at this moment, to replace Bryan Harsin.
“... it would be an absolute win for Boise State. That place is in his blood.”
Forty years ago today, Boise State won the Division I-AA national championship. Many guys from that team are currently in a Zoom meeting, talking about those memories.
I'll have their story, and the incredibly strange years that led to that moment, this week

I know you've been hurt, Boise State fans...but you just might have a good kicker. Sachse good from 41, he's 3-3 today. Florida State leads 31-16 with 2:51 to half.
For those that think I only tweet the obvious...
I don't understand the quarterback usage. Henderson clearly healthy enough to run the offense. Bachmeier hadn't played since Nov. 2, clearly is rusty. Why not at least play him against USU or Hawaii?
Boise State turned up the heat and watered the indoor field to simulate Florida's humidity today. The Tomahawk Chop could be heard outside. Players got shave ice to cool down afterward.
UNLV's starting QB tonight is Kenyon Oblad. Here's his 247Sports photo.
Pretty sure this guy recommended some "dank fish tacos" to me in San Diego once.
Man, Pete doing this sort of thing is W I L D. It's awesome, but boy, I'd have bet serious $ I'd never see this sort of access with him. Times have changed.

formally requesting that you all send me your favorite college football player aesthetic. mine is michael wiley, because the combination of these uniforms, and a small halfback in No. 5 is flawless
ONE current player messaged me, and that was JL Skinner.
I'd talked to him only once in person before, yet he reached out to say he was sorry to hear it, and said nice things about my work.
Great future in football, but also the kind of maturity that will take him far elsewhere.
Washington beats Boise State 38-7. Sends Chris Petersen off a winner. It’s Boise State’s worst loss since Aug. 31, 2013...against Washington (38-6) in Petersen’s final season at BSU.
