Fans better get up big for Boise
By Darrell Copeland

The question bugs me constantly.
How does Boise State keep beating Fresno State, even though the Bulldogs
are obviously the better team?
The answer for me is still “I don’t know.” I figure
only the players and coaches have the real answer.
But what I do know is that Fresno
State will be playing the Broncos on national television with a chance
to send those lucky smurfs back to potato land.
But what’s done is done and all will be right with the world when
Fresno State begins to start its own winning streak on Boise State.
There is no doubt that when gameday rolls around Thursday, a certain electricity
will be in the air.
Heck, it already is.
Boise State fans are already claiming victory, and want another one very
badly against what they consider to be the ultimate of rivalries against
the Bulldogs.
Note to Fresno State players: Boise State, and every other opponent for
that matter, does not like or respect you and all of Fresno, on account
of every opposing fan I have talked to. You are the team they want to
beat.
If any of these things are not enough to make the game personal, then
consider the fact Boise State attempts to run up the score every time,
just to embarrass anything having to do with Fresno State.
For some reason, there is a natural rivalry that develops between two
teams. Boise State is as natural and fierce a rivalry as it gets, and
it’s about time Fresno State had something to say about it.
For myself, I am already starting my water-sipping during the day, just
to make sure that my vocal chords show up in full force so I will definitely
have something to say about it.
Attention Student Cheering 101:
Third down is not the only down you are allowed to cheer on. As long as
the team is on defense, yelling is a must. The defense will reward you
with a great performance.
If you want to do the wave, do that on defense. It gets loud and disrupts
your team’s offensive flow.
Nothing makes the adrenaline flow like the sound of a good “Fresno
State” chant.
Wear red. Nothing looks better, or more intimidating, than a Dog House
filled with red. Plus, Fresno State is the home of the Red Wave and some
of the most fanatical fans known to mankind.
Be on time. The first play is as important as the last.
