Boise State students cannot protest on campus or they will be shot, it seems.

I am so fucking proud to know the people that have set this up- it takes big balls to do something like this in Idaho this isn't Portland this isn't California this is the' Forgotten Southern State' Idaho is conservative, religious, and ass backwards- these kids have the biggest balls I've ever seen.

UCLA must solve their Chip Kelly experiment

INGLEWOOD, California – Chip Kelly officially wrapped up his sixth season as the head football coach at UCLA. Does anyone care? More importantly, do the good folks in Westwood think they deserve a better head coach now that the Bruins are moving forward to the Big Ten Conference?  Kelly and his Bruins put a ribbon on an 8-5 season thanks to a 35-22 comeback win against Boise State in the Starco…

“How Bout Dem Cowboys!"

Ladies and Gentlemen the saying in football meetings, practices, games, et.al., is, “You’re only as good as your last play,” or “You’re only as good as your last game.” Growing up I was a huge Cowboy fan. As a kid it brought me great joy to see the Cowboys win 3 Championships in 4 seasons. I became a huge Deion Sanders (Coach Prime) fan when Jerry Jones gave Primetime a 7-year contract worth $35 million. I even started playing football wanting to be like Deion on the filed. 

This also meant I hated the San Francisco 49ers and still somewhat do. Now although I no longer consider myself a fan of any team because I like to sports bet and favorite teams always kill you. I’m a former Offensive Coordinator and Wideouts Coach/Trainer and a writer of sports. So being objective and not letting my feelings get in the way has become more beneficial to me as I have gotten older. 

I initially was worried that Dallas would lose to Tom Brady because of that internal feeling players get when they face a team they know they haven’t beaten. Talk about psychological warfare. It’s reminiscent of my playing days when we faced Boise State. If I’m not mistaken Boise won the WAC and never lost a WAC conference game from 03-06. But before the new staff came in I didn’t play that much at wideout.

I’m an extremely honest (sometimes to honest for most) person but its based on logic. Back then I would laugh at the coaches terrible fucking speeches and lack of right communication from those in leadership positions. And it is clear to see when a team is just coached better. Here was my logic, if our corners can’t stop us in practice and our record was trash how are they going to stop an undefeated better coached Boise State. No, Boise didn’t have better talent at the wideout position. But the way they played was 1000 times harder, tougher, and more physical than us and our mascot name is Spartans. 

And I tell this story because I would listen to the defensive of players talk about what they were going to do and this and that and them nigga’s would go out there and get ran by. We sucked as a team. The head coach Fitz Hill-one of the first 3 African American Coaches was at the helm. This dude held a PH.D in Teaching or Communication. And when I tell you bright…boy coach hill’s thesis/dissertation if one of the most phenomenal pieces of literature I have ever read. And this doesn’t mean shit. He simply could not coach. His communication skills as a coach were awful. Fitz Hill was a charlatan and belittled us players because of his “doctorate” status and ran an environment not conducive to creating a winner culture. 

Fast forward my last year in college with Dick Tomey at the helm and with a way less talented roster, we lost by 20 I believe his first year while playing a night game in Boise. And we lost by a last second field goal in 2006 after James Jones (Packers) dropped a ball on 3rd down that would’ve given us a first down so we could run out the game clock. 

I mention this story because as of late the 49ers have been a better team than Dallas . Kyle Shanahan gets praised for his offensive run game. Mike McCarthy has one of the most scrutinized jobs in sports. But he is a former Super Bowl winning coach (I was at that Super Bowl) and he may not call plays but offensively he is not shabby as a coach. Is mindset is to throw the ball down teams freaking throat. And this year coach McCarthy has a top 10 passing defense (#8) and was #5 in points. The 49ers have played in 2 of the 9 previous super bowls and 2 out of the past 3 NFC Championships. 

I don’t know what the score will be but my prediction is that the Cowboys will end up with a late lead, and end Brock Purdy’s cinderella season on either a sack or interception. How bout them Cowboys?!

Erin Reed at Erin In The Morning:

Boise State University released a statement on Saturday indicating that it would forfeit its match against undefeated San Jose State University. The move comes after allegedly transgender volleyball player Blaire Fleming was outed by a Reduxx article and then targeted by her teammate Brooke Slusser, who corroborated Blaire’s outing in legal filings after Blaire spoke privately about her gender identity. Now, Slusser has joined a lawsuit with anti-trans campaigner Riley Gaines in attempting to force the NCAA to disallow transgender athletes from playing on teams of the same gender. In addition, ICONS, the anti-trans organization supporting the lawsuit, sent a letter to the Mountain West Conference’s university president outing Fleming, a move that ultimately led to Boise State’s decision to forfeit the game.

“San Jose State University (SJSU), a California state university and a member of the Mountain West Conference (MWC), along with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), are allegedly violating federal law by enforcing the NCAA's Transgender Eligibility Policies (TEP). These policies allow Blaire Fleming, a transgender-identifying male, to compete on SJSU's women's volleyball team,” said the letter, falsely asserting that Title IX bans transgender athletes from competing.

Notably, transgender participation in sports does not violate any federal law. Title IX has been interpreted to protect transgender participation in sports, as evidenced by rulings from federal judges in the 9th Circuit area of jurisdiction, which covers states like California and Idaho. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals itself has ruled that transgender athletes can continue to participate in response to ongoing court cases. Title IX protections for trans athletes have likewise been affirmed in other circuits, such as the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld a similar ruling in West Virginia. Fleming originally played in South Carolina but was forced to transfer to California after the state threatened and then later enacted a ban on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. Upon transferring, she became Slusser’s roommate, according to Slusser’s legal filing. In her lawsuit, Slusser claims that she was unaware Fleming was transgender, a point that challenges the argument that people “can always tell” who is transgender—a common argument against transgender inclusion. Slusser’s legal filing consistently misgenders Fleming throughout.

[...] The complaint, along with various news sites, highlights Fleming’s height of 6'1". For instance, Must Read Alaska describes Blaire as "a physically imposing transgender player" who "is 6'1" and towers over opposing teams." However, a quick glance at the San Jose State University (SJSU) website shows that 7 out of 25 players on the team are 6 feet or taller. Additionally, 11 of Boise State’s players exceed 6 feet in height, with many taller than Blaire. None of these athletes are accused of possessing an unfair advantage, despite their bodies being very similar to Blaire’s in appearance and size. There is no evidence that Blaire, or that most transgender players who have been on hormone therapy for 2+ years, retain a significant advantage over cisgender female athletes in the sport of volleyball. [...] As Slusser and ICONS' lawsuit remains unresolved, the broader landscape for transgender athletes continues to evolve, particularly in states like California, where legal protections are robust. Blaire Fleming's place on the team appears secure for now, but the future of transgender rights, including participation in sports and access to gender-affirming care, is currently in the hands of the Supreme Court, which will rule on the issue of equal protection in the coming months. The outcome of these upcoming rulings will not only impact individual athletes like Blaire but will also shape the rights and recognition of transgender people across the nation for years to come.

Boise State University cowardly forfeited a match all because San José State University had trans woman Blaire Fleming playing a women’s volleyball contest.
