17 Things You Should Absolutely NEVER Do at a Boise State Home Game

While we haven’t broken into the AP Top 25 yet, Boise State’s getting some love after keeping things very interesting against the Oregon Ducks in Week 2! The guys have had time to tighten up those special teams and are ready for their first home game of the season this Saturday, September 21. 

There was some question over whether the game would happen or not.. The team’s found themselves in an interesting situation through no fault of their own. The first home game of the season is a non-conference matchup against Portland State, an FCS team. Portland State didn’t play their scheduled game against South Dakota last week, due to illness on the Vikings roster.

According to a statement from Portland State, at least one person in their locker room tested positive for whooping cough. Several others started showing symptoms and had been around their sick teammate. Since whooping cough is known to be extremely contagious, the schools decided the best thing for everyone involved was to cancel the game. 

The CDC explains that whooping cough is a bacterial infection that can effectively be treated with antibiotics. Portland State says that they’ve put players that may have been exposed on a five-day antibiotic regime ahead of their game in Boise. Only players and staff that have completely the antibiotics will be allowed to travel to the game. They’re hopeful that they got the ball on treatment rolling early enough that they won’t have to cancel two games in a row. As of Monday, Boise State and Portland State say the game is on!
