Yep, I've only made it down there once but it was a fantastic time...and it didn't hurt that it was also the year that MSU won both the men's and women's tournament championship! It's the perfect location because fans from most schools can travel there in one day by car, and unlike when the tournament was in Reno it's clear that the city of Boise actually wants the tournament there and heavily promotes it to locals as well as to out-of-town fans.lv2hoop wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 9:32 amStarch Madness aside, I wasn’t a believer in Boise for the BSC Tourney until I attended last season. It’s a really good time and fun atmosphere. Crowds were better than I thought from watching the last few years on TV.
I’m already looking forward to this coming March in downtown Boise.

Re: Basketball random stuff
Agreed. I've made it 4 of last 5 years and both my wife and I have enjoyed. It's been fun to see the Bobcat fans outnumber all of the other teams in attendance. Of course it helps when you have had a great program and winning teams to support.MSU01 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 11:01 amYep, I've only made it down there once but it was a fantastic time...and it didn't hurt that it was also the year that MSU won both the men's and women's tournament championship!

That says alot about you Ian that you'd be invited to something as intimate as a wedding. They team must feel pretty close to you.SACCAT wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 9:06 amAt the wedding, during her dads speech, he said "And this is how you say the last name". Then pointed at me...

Congrats to Brooke and great to see pretty much the whole team out there supporting her! Also good to see Dylan wearing cowboy boots instead of the type she had on a few months ago.

Now you just need to convince that Laird girl to join the Bobcats. I understand she is pretty good.lutecat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 21, 2025 3:11 pmThat says alot about you Ian that you'd be invited to something as intimate as a wedding.
