Buster Bronco named to CapitalOne All-America Mascot Team
Buster Bronco from BSU has been named to the seventh annual CapitalOne All-America Mascot Team, made up of 12 over-sized and often under-appreciated characters – including three birds, three cats (that could be trouble), one bison, one horse, one wolf, one turtle, one bear and a dog.
Each one of these mascots will be putting their best claw, paw, hoof and talon forward while attempting to claim the proverbial mountain of mascot fame and fortune – the title of “Capital One National Mascot of the Year.”
Starting Sept. 8, fans can vote online at capitalonebowl.com, for their favorite All-American Mascot, who will be announced during the Capital One Bowl on Jan. 1.

Three of the schools, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho State University all advanced to the postseason last year.
The Broncos will begin defense of their 2008 WAC championship when they place a school record and league best 14-game conference win streak on the line in the league opener at archrival University of Idaho Jan. 3. They will close that weekend at Fresno State Jan. 5.
Boise State will open the home WAC schedule with the University of Hawai’i Jan. 12 and close the regular season with a double-header finale in Boise March 7 when they host the Idaho Vandals at 2 p.m. followed by the men against the University of Nevada.
