The pain, the agony, the heartbreak, the relentless workouts, the strict diet, the intense focus, all amounts to one thing…The National Duals Regional. Boise State wrestlers are set to compete in Stillwater, Okla., Feb. 12. The tournament will take place in the Gallagher-Iba Arena, with matches running at 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and 5 p.m. It will be a bracket of heated competition including Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Chattanooga, and Wyoming.

The first snowfall of the season is a majestic moment where the world seems to be surrounded by silence as light flakes descend from heavenward. As of Friday, Nov. 5, the city of Boise had its first of many snowy days to come, to the great delight of the avid skiers and snowboarders in the area. It is doubtful that the students of Boise State were expecting the sudden change in weather. Yes, the temperature had begun to cool, especially after a relatively warm Halloween night, as many of us would know by our costumes, or lack thereof. Most students were warm and cozy in their classes, naïve to the change in weather as the snow continued to fall. It was evident again by the lack of clothing and longboard riders who could no longer speed along the school pathways. I was at work giving admission tours to prospective students in a light jacket, not anticipating snow, and even though my hands were numb, which seems to be the norm... ...
