Dutch Treat

Cheech and Tjong was a great flick...

All apologies about the headline because I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of it in coming years...but it seems apropos as the Broncos received a huge verbal commitment just moments ago from Dutch DT Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe. Scout.com just confirmed that Tjong-A-Tjoe committed to the Broncos after an in-home visit on Wednesday and on the tails of a month-long recruiting tour that had stops in Eugene and Pullman. Tjong-A-Tjoe (pronunciation guess is as good as mine) is 6'4" and 295 lbs. and had offers from Oregon, Washington State, San Jose State, Idaho and Idaho State. Originally from the Netherlands, Tjong-A-Tjoe made the most of his first season playing American football by tallying 35 tackles, two sacks and four forced fumbles—all which garnered him first-team All-State honors at Boise High. Ricky will join another Dutch transplant in Capital WR Geraldo Hiwat in the '09 class and Bronco sophomore DB Cedric Febis as well. Scout.com has not evaluated Tjong-A-Tjoe as of yet, but considering the number of offers held by the big guy, it looks like the Broncos got another steal. Check out the big red machine below:

I have a blog?!

I made a startling revelation when I was browsing on my computer today. I have a blog! Or had one, anyway. I apologize for the woeful state of this blog for the last few months. I was in a period of great mourning after the UH game and couldn't bring myself to try to spin the loss...then the heartbreaking Hawaii bowl had me crying in my soup and I again put off blogging...then a bunch of nothing happened...players committed to BSU and decommitted, but now LOI day has come and gone and it looks like BSU got a pretty good crop. No QB...but that's OK.

Here's a nice link that the Statesman put together of individual player highlight vids. Take note of Boise State recruit Byron Hout...who looks like he is going to kill someone in his vid. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see this kid on the blue.

Here it is.

Got a new camera for Christmas, so I will post some stadium construction pics and some Spring ball vids here in the not so distant future.
