Kill is the real deal
Based on what? Big Ten stinks, has Kill even broken .500 in the league for a season yet?
You are the real deal when you have a season you would be happy with all the time. That hasn't happened yet.
I base it on Kill getting the most of out shit for talent...more wins than he should get with that talent and being in games they probably shouldn't be in...
plus I think he is doing a fair job recruiting to for a near impossible place to recruit to
Look at what Boise State did for the past ten years and say that again with a straight face.
Jerry Kill is not the real deal.
Boise State is a MUCH better football school than the U of M. Nestled in the Rockies.
Uh yeah, because all of those inner city football players from the cities, and Detroit and Chicago dream of playing in the Rocky Mountains.
By the way, Boise is flat, dry, almost all white and a few hours away from the Rocky Mountains.
Jerry Kill is in over his head, unless you want his head in mediocre land.
Make that almost 8 hours to the Rocky Mountains
Oh please. [&o]

It's not because Boise is situated perfectly between Idaho's Rocky Mountains and the vast Great Basin deserts that stretch northward from Nevada. Nor is it that three rivers converge near here: the Boise, the Payette, and the Snake. It's not that the Boise area includes some of the country's best mountain biking trails, or that deep powder and steeply pitched rock are less than 20 minutes from downtown restaurants and coffeehouses
Nice try, I've actually been there.
You have to go around a smaller range to get to the Rockies.
Your quote is correct only if you fail to realize the vastness of the Great Basin, The Rocky Mountains, and the lack of roads between Boise and the Rockies.
Most of the metropolitan area lies on a broad, flat plain, descending to the west. Mountains rise to the northeast, stretching from the far southeastern tip of the Boise city limits to nearby Eagle. These mountains are known to locals as the Boise foothills and are sometimes described as the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. About 34 miles (55 km) southwest of Boise, and about 26 miles (42 km) southwest of Nampa, the Owyhee Mountains lie entirely in neighboring Owyhee County.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 80.05 square miles (207.33 km2), of which, 79.36 square miles (205.54 km2) is land and 0.69 square miles (1.79 km2) is water.[1] The city is drained by the Boise River. The City of Boise is considered part of the Treasure Valley.
