Who Has the Better Fans, Broncos or Vandals?

Fall in Boise means one thing to lots of people: Bronco Football is back on the blue turf. But for University of Idaho grads in our city, all this blue and orange swagger can get annoying. So today on the show, two fans will hash it out behind the mic with host Frankie Barnhill. Adam Bridges is a sophomore at Boise State and helps edit The Arbiter student newspaper, and Zach Kellogg is a recent U of I grad and the Director of Broadcast and Creative Content at the school. 


Who has the better mascot? The rowdiest student section? The stronger team spirit? We’ll find out. 


Who has your heart, Buster Bronco or Joe the Vandal? Let us know by sending us a voicemail or text: 208-546-9485
