3. Boyzee. Boyzee, Boyzee, Boyzee. That's not the name.
It's Boise. With an "s", not a "z."

Learn it, know it, live it.

:P

7. They're rooting for the Broncos. It's like a sickness around here...
People get in a frenzy and break out their blue and orange everything just for regular season games. It's mass hysteria and insanity for a bowl game!

8. Insanity is opening up the parking lots at 9:30 am
so people can start partying for a 6:30pm game.
Oy! What do people do there all day? ...besides drink that is!

9. Pretty jingoistic opening
With the entire field flag and military glee club for the National Anthem. But it is Fox Sports so what do we expect?

10. I'm not watching, but my husband had the pregame stuff on earlier
and I heard the dreaded "Boyzee" pronunciation.

It's absolute blasphemy in the greater Boise area for me to say this, but I couldn't care less about this game. I do, however, care about how people pronounce Boise. :D

11. And there is no "S" in noisy
wait ... yes there is ... it just sounds like a "Z".

Is it our fault people in idaho can't spell "BOIZY"

"BOIZY" ... rhymes with "Jersey".

Good luck in the FEZTA BOWL!



I'm just grumpy. U of M didn't do so well in the ROZE BOWL.

:)

12. No, no, we CAN spell Boise. It's the rest of the country who can't *pronounce* it.
Do not pronounce it as if there were a Z. There isn't.
