Boise State Football scrimmage number two

Yesterday we went to Boise State's second scrimmage of spring ball. It was fun even in the rain. In football, rain is just part of the experience.



Here's head coach Chris Petersen. Petersen is a coveted coach all around the country. In Boise, he's a big celebrity. When Eric and I went to the NCAA basketball games last month we seen "Coach Pete" walking in the narrow corridor of Taco Bell Arena. It was halftime so it was very crowded. China train station type crowded. Anyway, he we was about two feet away from me when I noticed him and I blurted out, "Eric it's Chris Petersen!!!" Someone else already had his attention, but I felt slightly embarrassed since I squealed like a teenager at a Elvis Presley concert.



DJ Harper spins out of a tackle during drills. Harper had a great scrimmage.



Back-up quarterback Drew Hawkins (son of Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins) takes a snap from the shotgun.



On the same play, Hawkins uses his running ability to scramble for a 27 yard touchdown.



There were a couple thousand people who attended the scrimmage. Everyone sat on the west side of Bronco Stadium except these few loners on the east side.



Now we're headed home. As the scrimmage ends, rush hour conveniently begins.
