The Thanksgiving season


With it being the Thanksgiving season, we are thankful for our long time involvement in Boise St. football. Boise St. football in our life has really not been about football, rather it has been about family. It is why we originally got interested in Boise St. football. We like spending time with our family, yet for whatever reason, we rarely get the chance to do it. When we first started going to Boise games, it was a time in Rob's life when he spent a lot of time with his dad. It was always interesting when they first started going, you had Rob and his college buddies, and his Dad. Whenever, Rob sees his friends now as adults they are always interested in talking about Ron and how he is doing. Rob has great memories of going to games with his dad and brother when they were younger. He often talks about how much fun it was to spend time with his dad, and I know he misses those trips. As grandpa stopped going to the games, Rob spent more time with his brother and has fond memories of spending time with him, too. We also go as a family, Rob, Jodi and Trey together, or sometimes just Rob and Trey, with Trampis and Randy. Boise St. football is a family affair. As the team has got more national exposure, it is kind of like a nice little story that now everyone knows about. But, we don't mind if people jump on the bandwagon, cause to us, it is about family!
