Top 10: Boise State
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2003 4:41 pmFrom the home office, High on the Hilltop, the Top 10 things overheard at the SMU/Boise State game:
10. All-knowing SMU fan, explaining to his date why Bronco players line up and prepare for a game the way they do: "Boise will be Boise"
9. Boise State WR Tim Gilligan: "next person to refer to a game as a 'three-hour tour' gets hits in the head with a coconut … and no, I do NOT refer to Coach Hawkins as 'the Skipper'!"
8. Boise State PK Tyler Jones, when he notices that his regular holder has been replaced as he lines up for a game-tying field goal in the game's waning seconds: "Why are you wearing a headset and a Chicago Cubs jacket on the field?"
7. SMU OT Sterling Harris, before he lines up for the first play against Boise State LDE Julius Roberts: "You were great in 'Pretty Woman,' but just between you and me, you've looked a little rough around the edges since 'Erin Brockovich' "
6. Boise State FS Wes Nurse, before making a tackle: "This won't hurt at all … you won't feel a thing … try to get some sleep"
5. Boise State LT Daryn Colledge, on his plans after college: "I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure my next shirt will say 'JOB' across the back"
4. Boise State RB David Mickell: "uh, Coach? Why did SMU name their defense with 5 DBs after me?"
3. SMU head coach Phil Bennett, on Boise State DT Paul Allen: "So that's how they get around NCAA rules -- they sign the Microsoft co-founder, and he can pay any player he wants, because he's not an alum? I always wondered how they got players to actually go to Boise"
2. SMU defensive coordinator Jim Gush to DE Don Ieremia-Stansbury: "Imagine Ryan Dinwiddie is Don Zimmer … go 'Pedro Martinez' on that fat old guy."
And the #1 thing overheard at the SMU/Boise State game this weekend:
1. Boise State QB Ryan Dinwiddie: "Guys, check out the turf -- it's green instead of blue! Weird...."
