Boise got the Hammer from a coach who brought the idea from another school, not from Fresno St. And Boise used the Hammer BEFORE Fresno St. So it was not copied from you.<br /><br />Second, who said you guys were our rival? A rivalry is not one team beating the hell out of another team every year. We would like for you to be our rival, but every time you have the chance to enter the game with us as a ranked team, or conference challenger, you lose to La Tech or somebody like that before we get to play and therefore hurt our SOS. And then we beat the hell out of you anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502670745916245555.post-54540793698751934022009-09-16T18:43:49.395-07:002009-09-16T18:43:49.395-07:00What you boise "twits" aren't unders...What you boise "twits" aren't understanding from FSDogs1 is not to copy YOUR RIVAL.

I am sure the BSU coaching staff saw the inspired play of the Bulldogs in a 24 point blowout and decided to copy it.<br /><br />For BSU it was introduced by Special Teams coach Jeff Choate who brought the "tradition" from Eastern Illinois who has had the practice in place going back to the late 70's.<br /><br />http://www.eiupanthers.com/news/2009/3/18/FB_0318093115.aspx<br /><br />Bellotti has long used the sledgehammer as a motivational tool, but it did not make its on field debut until the Michigan game of 2007.<br /><br />The Hammer, like a lot of other traditions in college football, is widespread and has origins long before Fresno or Boise started the practice. Boise State (mainly the fanbase) is not immune from stealing ideas from other programs. The first down chant, crowd whiteouts, cheerleader pushups after scoring and players running out of a smoke filled helmet are all things "stolen" from somewhere else.<br /><br />There are a lot of things to like about the Bulldog program and even some things that the Broncos could emulate. The Hammer, however, did not originate at Fresno State, nor was Fresno the inspiration for The Hammer becoming a part of the Boise State program.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502670745916245555.post-7473718197854969412009-09-15T11:01:00.356-07:002009-09-15T11:01:00.356-07:00So basically what you're saying is the first t...So basically what you're saying is the first team Boise State played under coach Petersen that had the sledgehammer tradition was Fresno State?<br /><br />For the record, I've never seen Army, Purdue, UConn or Eastern Illinois do it -- Fresno State's never played them and has no coaching ties that I know of. I have, however, seen Oregon do it, and noticed for the first time at Autzen in 2007. And I noticed for the first time Boise State doing it last season.<br /><br />Fact of the matter is, don't copy your rivals.FSDogs1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09476196337163506808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502670745916245555.post-83503159752418450862009-09-15T10:28:28.342-07:002009-09-15T10:28:28.342-07:00It must be flattering for you to think that Boise ...It must be flattering for you to think that Boise State "copied" the idea of the sledgehammer from the Bulldogs. While BSU installed the practice at the start of the 2006 season, the tradition has been around at Army, Purdue, UConn, Eastern Illinois, Oregon and I am sure countless high schools.<br />When the Broncos start to copy Fresno's pension for underachievement, folding in the 4th quarter and losing to conference cellar dwellars, then you can be offended that your true traditions are being infringed upon.Mikenoreply@blogger.com
