Boise Broncos The Pride Of Idaho Bring National Attentention To Idaho-

The Boise State Broncos have brought a wide variety of things to the state of Idaho. Obviously the Boise Broncos bring an economic boon to the college as well as increase the tax base as people travel to Boise to watch them play but the most important thing the Boise Broncos have brought to Idaho after their Fiesta bowl win is pride and recognition.

Not pride and recognition for the players, they did and still have pride and national recognition, but pride and recognition to the state of Idaho.

Before the Fiesta bowl many inner city kids either did not know where Idaho was or they thought of it as a haven for racists and white separatists like the Aryan Nations.

After the Fiesta bowl these same inner city kids know a lot more about the state of Idaho. They can point to Boise on a map and they see how the white people in Idaho treat black people as a whole. They understand that Idaho is not racist. Some people within Idaho are anti-black but the state as whole is not.

The Boise Broncos Fiesta bowl also brought many new fans. Boise State Bronco fans used to be either Idaho residents, former students, or people who liked their blur turf. Now the Boise State Broncos have fans located all over. Many people seen Boise State play football for the first time during the Fiesta Bowl and liked how they played and were converted into Bronco fans.

Boise is often criticized for not playing stronger non conference opponents but the fact is the stronger teams do not want to play Boise. Just ask some Oregon  Duck Fans.
