If you haven’t noticed, Boise State has played back-to-back games on Sunday. Despite the fact they could probably hang with the Miami Dolphins, the Broncos have not been promoted to the NFL. No, as usual, it’s ESPN who’s to blame for yesterday’s match-up between Boise State and Nevada.
While some people are complaining about the unusual scheduling, there is one person who seems to be hopping on the new Boise State football Sunday’s bandwagon: his name is Jesus.
We think that Jesus would be down there on the sidelines, excited about people being excited too,” David Price of Boise Church of Christ said.
The Boise Church of Christ says its motto is “Broncos for Jesus.”
They see a game day on Sunday as an opportunity to come together and celebrate two great things: religion and Bronco Football.
“The students sell parking places for this football game and the money that we raise in the selling of the spots is use by students for student activities,” John Moreland said.
Their worship center is located about a block away from Bronco Stadium.
Today they’re providing parking and refreshments to any fans that need a place to park or a bite to eat.
They call it a “tailgate for Jesus.” They’re also having activities after the game too a sort of holy after-party. They say this is a perfect opportunity to support the community and Boise State University.
“Broncos for Jesus is what we’re about – uphold his way and the Bronco way,” Moreland said.
Apparently, the blue field isn’t the only advantage the Broncos have when opponents come to town. Hey, it worked for the Spurs and who are we to say that the big guy isn’t college pigskin? But after the first batch of BCS rankings hit the web yesterday, we’re kinda thinking that South Florida might be getting a little divine intervention.
