Boise isn't even a top 15 choice. They have one sport, no fans, no academics, and no market.

 

Think they've got a pretty good fanbase .... at least in these good times.

We had a good fan base in good times too. And a better market and other sports.

How many of them live outside of Idaho?

No idea, but do know they travel well based on their bowls and seeing tons of them in the Atlanta airport coming back from South Bend when BSU played UGa ...

I've been to BSU, even got down on the smurtfturf field on a weekday. Boise's a nice little town, but the fact that there's virtually nothing else to do there is a factor.

 

But they have a rabid, well-trained fanbase. They even have a schedule of what seats wear what colors for specific games.

Rabid, well-trained, relatively small, and located entirely in Idaho.

Hate to say it, but I'd bet their relatively small fanbase is more loyal and supportive than ours.

Agreed, but they've also had football longer. We really need a period of consistent winning like they were able to string together for a bit of the late 90's throughout the 2000's. That would give USF an opportunity to "train" and "ferment" a more rabid, consistent fanbase.

But again, we were right there with the fan support and then someone shot a nuclear dirty bomb at football.
