As students go through high school, most have the option to learn a second language that can help them later on in their careers. When I was in high school, we had two languages to choose from: French, and Spanish. Two languages with very similar roots, Latin. However, talking with my fellow students made it abundantly clear that the definite majority was involved in some way with the Spanish department. Here at Boise state, the Spanish department is a major player in the decision of students who take a college level foreign language class. With a total of 21 faculty teaching it this semester, Spanish is by far the most popular language at Boise State. Spanish is by far the most spoken language in the western hemisphere. With a total of 453 million speakers worldwide, Spanish is the third most spoken language in the world after mandarin Chinese and English. Descending from the same family as the Latin used by the Romans, Spanish became very widespread during the colonial period, when it was spread to the natives of the new world. Spoken in almost 60 countries and the official language in more than 20, Spanish is easily one of the dominating languages of the world. The Spanish department at Boise State employs these figures in preparing students who take its courses. The subject is by far the most taught subject in the Modern Language department, with over 20 faculty teaching Spanish this semester, not including any guest speakers that the department has invited to teach. The department offers a Spanish major, as well as a minor, and see most student pass through one of its courses in their schoolwork, and many double major with Spanish. Oddly enough, there are not many students who major solely in Spanish. “We see a lot of double majors with Spanish in such fields as business, criminal justice, and construction management,” Fatima Cornwall, adviser and teacher of Spanish, said. “We also see a large number of minors with secondary education majors.” the department uses a total immersion technique to enhance the learning of its students, and to help prevent a problem switching from an English taught class in the lower division to a total immersion in the upper division. “Our philosophy is that classes should be done mostly in Span-

ish, and instructors should have English blocks during classes,” Cornwall said. “For example, a 101 class will start out with ten minutes of Spanish, then ten minutes of English to make sure the students understand what is going on, then another ten minutes of Spanish and so on until the end of the class.” Ron Hurrle, a mass communications major who is enrolled in Spanish 101, thinks that immersion is the best way to learn a new language. “ My instructor teaches
Spanish teachers, as one might not teach the same thing as another. However, for Spanish instructor Izaskun Kortazar there really isn’t a problem switching between the two. “The difference is mostly in the vocabulary, and the pronunciation,” Kortazar said. “Things like sentence structure and conjugation stay the same, so its easy for a student to adapt to one version of Spanish or the other.” Cornwall agrees. With the classes she has taught and the students she has advised, she has

For example, Spanish speakers in Spain speak a different vocabulary those that speak Spanish in Latin America. While in high school, I remember being told about how when scheduling my classes, I should never switch
had little trouble. “I don’t think there is a problem. Spanish is the same in terms of grammatical usage and sentence structure. It’s a main problem with vocabulary, but even that can be easily fixed,” Cornwall said. Hurrle wont have that problem at all. ““I take a combined class, which gives us a taste of what areas will speak, and what cultures pervade.” Hurrle said. I also wondered about whether it was difficult for those who speak
Spanglish to learn traditional Spanish. Spanglish, a combination of Spanish and English that Native speakers growing up in the United States tend to speak, is actually a benefit in the classes instead of a hindrance. “It adds more to the class, and its really good for the American students because they learn new vocabulary, and in conversation, they can add on cultural themes,” Kortazar said. Spanish is a worldwide language that will enhance any major, especially those business related. Every year, the Idaho Trade commission sends a request for a Spanish student to work as an intern in its Guadalajara offices. Idaho is a major trading partner with Mexico, and business majors wanting to live locally might find the prospect intriguing. The Spanish language encompasses the globe with resources available for any college student just coming out into the world. From Business majors to secondary education, Spanish can enhance any job prospect with its unique culture, as well as its versatility. As the most popular language taught on the BSU campus, knowing even a little Spanish benefits in the long run. For Hurrle, Spanish has opened his eyes to the world around him. “Spanish has given me an option with my studies. Even if I do not continue with the Spanish program, I know I will be able to take away memories of my experience to help me where ever I go,” Hurrle said.

BSU receives $500,000 gift for new COBE building Local business man John D. Jackson has given $500,000 to Boise State to aid in the construction of the new College of Business and Economics building. MIKE JOHNSON Journalist
Jackson, founder of Jacksons Food Stores Inc., announced his donation at a Boise State Foundation Board of Directors meeting. “This gift is an investment in the future of Boise State University and the College of Business and Economics,” Jackson said. “Business education is all about pre-
paring today’s students to become tomorrow’s business leaders.” This gift will help fund the $35 million building, being built on the corner of Capitol Boulevard and University Drive. The University hopes to begin construction as early as spring 2010. “A strong, dynamic business college in the Treasure Valley is essential for the state’s economic development, and John Jackson’s commitment to Boise State helps
ensure its impact for years to come,” Boise State President Bob Kustra said. “He is one of Boise State’s and Idaho’s success stories, and we thank him for giving back in support of a high quality learning environment for future students.” Jackson’s half-million dollar gift will establish the Jackson Commons, the entryway into the new building. It will house a café and computer lab and serve as the main circulation route throughout the building. “The Jackson Commons will honor Mr. Jackson’s nationally recognized success as an entre-
preneur, an individual who had big dreams, worked hard and has been such an important part of the Idaho business community,” Pat Shannon, Dean of the College of Business and Economics, said. Jackson majored in accounting at Boise State. He founded Jackson Food Stores Inc. in 1975, which began as a single service station and grew into a chain of convenience stores, with approximately 200 stores throughout four states. Jackson also owns and operates Jackson Oil and Capital Distributing, a grocery wholesaler that delivers to convenience stores throughout five western states.

Special Events Center to show ‘Seoul train’ ZACH GANSCHOW Producer
The Human Equality Rights Organization (HERO)
will be playing an “Intensely visceral, illuminating and deeply moving” documentary, as described by Strictly Film School. The screening,
Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. in the SPEC, is open to the public to raise awareness about the plight of N. Korean citizens. Seoul Train (also dubbed
Underground Tour) is a documentary film which profiles the escape efforts of N. Koreans occurring on the borders of China. South Korea is impossible for escape, as the De-Militarized Zone border is impenetrable. Some are brave enough to risk an escape, but if caught by the Chinese government, they are returned to N. Korea. This usually results in the citizens torture and execution. In N. Korea, there is an estimated 150,000-200,00 people imprisoned in forced labor camps. The accused “crimes” by these prisoners are as simple as reading a foreign newspaper or singing S. Korean music. "Education is the biggest part," said Gabe Murphy founder of HERO. "Most students just don’t know what’s happening. I believe they would care about something like this if they only knew what was really happening" Among these atrocities, there is a secret society of people running an underground railroad. This is the focus of Seoul Train. Seoul is the capital of S. Korea, and is seen as a safe haven for N. Koreans. The film is composed of actual interviews with various officials and refugees as they fight to survive. The footage is gripping as you are taken directly into

The Weekly Buzz Kill: Idaho sex education fails JOSH GAMBLE Columnist
Long, long ago, almost a year, as I recall, I was but a wee high school student trying to make my way
through the Idaho Public School system. One of the main hurdles we all had to make our way over was the coming-of-age ritual known as Sex Education. I assume the name is ironic. I can’t speak for all school districts, because the state leaves sex education up to parents and churches. Yes, I said churches. Thankfully, Mountain View High School, in the Meridian School District accepted the burden, sort of. Students were offered three choices of health class: Sports Medicine, an abstinence-only class and a non-abstinence-only class, known as Health P2. Being a socialist liberal pornographer, I selected P2 in hope of actually learning something. Once we passed the “all drugs are equally evil” unit, we tackled the “human sexuality” unit. Now, the state defines sex education as “the study of the anatomy and the physiology of human reproduction,” which exactly what we studied. After spending two or three weeks memorizing uncomfortable diagrams and giggling at the word “testes,” we finally got to the part where we learned about contraception.

Just Ask:
Another Lesson Learned FAWN CAVENEY Columnist
Do not be afraid to ask! That is one of the biggest lessons I have learned
the hard way over and over again. Recently I was reminded of this lesson in a frustrating costly way. Back in my early college journey I actually did complete an Associates Degree in Business Management and Travel Tourism. After working as an Office Manager for years, starting and running two businesses, and playing in the business field, I think I subconsciously wanted to forget that
Satistics from 2007 say that 49.5 percent of females in Idaho became pregnant between the ages 15–19. Thats up from 44.7 percent in 2005. This amounted to “condoms fail, don’t have sex.” We then covered all the scary awful things that happen to teenagers having sex, stopping just shy of “wrath of the almighty.” Evidently, scare tactics work poorly on teenager. According to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, one in four Idaho teenagers carries and STD. Idahoteenpregnancy. com states that 2,702 teen girls became pregnant in 2007, 23 percent of which were repeat pregnancies. Some might say that means we just need to shout “abstinence!” at our children at increased volume. I hold the radical notion that teaching
I had that degree. I forgot it so well that I did not ASK or clarify with the Registrar’s office why it was not accepted and utilized in my transfer to BSU. After 12 unnecessary credits and one whole semester of student loans, I ASKED why? The answer, oh we must have missed that. I do not blame them, I blame myself and the old thinking process of “they must know best” or “I don’t want to ask and bother someone.” You know all those fears and thoughts you plague yourself with instead of asking. I should have known better. I have learned this lesson over and over and I teach my own children to not be afraid to ask. Saying to them, “there is no such thing as a dumb question.” I guess I need more practice. Painfully I had learned this my second year of college when I was assigned a young grad student as an advisor. I was young, naïve and chicken. I think he did the best he
teens to use contraception by age 15 might be a tad more effective. I’m not the only one. Jodi Brawley, Health Educator at the BSU Health and Wellness Center, believes “the abstinence message is important, but there needs to be a realization that students are making the choice (to have sex).” Brawley, who holds a Master’s Degree in Health Promotion recognized that if students start having sex without having been taught how to properly use a condom, they stand a higher risk of being infected with an STD or getting pregnant. Here’s the fact of the matter: teenagers have been going at it for millennia. Throwing high morals into their face isn’t going to stop them. However, education about the medical and emotional ramifications is shown to have an impact. This is why Planned Parenthood, the Obama administration and BSU’s own Gender Right’s Network are fighting for more comprehensive sex education nation-wide and an end to abstinenceonly programs. Meanwhile, both the Women’s Center and the Health and Wellness Center are helping to educate BSU students on the emotional and medical aspects of sexual rela-
tionships and how to engage in sex safely. Both offices offer free pamphlets on proper use of condoms, different varieties of birth control, and symptoms and treatment of STDs. They also put on programs such as “Curious about Contraception” and “Sex in the Lobby. “We usually try to hit the major residence halls in the fall semester,” Brawley said. Starting Nov. 18, the Health and Wellness Center will have an anonymous website called “Everyday Q&A” where students can ask and answer questions about sex, sleep, back health and other topics. “It’s a website for people to ask questions without feeling like they’re dumb questions,” said peer educator Jessica Lott. As college students, we are able to get our information on sex someplace other than porn and “that one kid,” but as of right now, it’s not so easy for Idaho high school students. So here’s my message to whoever writes health class curriculum: Step up your game and for the love of god, please stop showing “The Miracle of Life.” Now go vote or something.
could under the circumstances. However, his guidance threw me into a down-hill grade slide. It took me a long time to climb back up the ladder into a decent GPA. The most reason lesson reminds me again that it is my privilege to ask and inquire. To seek out and research the answers to what makes the most sense for my college journey. Of course asking applies to all arenas, the job interview, house buying, car buying, etc…. Compared to 27 years ago the Professors and teachers today seem to have many more demands upon their desks. More students to advise, more papers to publish and write, and more classes to teach. As a stu-
dent it is my responsibility to make sure that I have an advisor that is interested in my college journey, that I am on track to completing my degree and to ask how I can improve my grade. Recently my 10 year old son was struggling with his math teacher and I asked him “Did you ask her how you could do better in this class? Have you thought about how hard it is to teach all of you at the same time? Maybe she does not know you are having a hard time with these problems?” My son gave me a great gift in reminding me that I too can ask and in asking find the answers that will help me on my journey. The moral of the story, do not be afraid to ASK. The college journey, the life journey is a unique and special one for each and every one of us, in that we must not be afraid to inquire how we might manifest and create that which we dream.
After 12 unnecessary credits and one whole semester of student loans, I asked why?

College Night 2009 WAC tournament soccer preview Success for students, Urban Outfitters SONIA TREVIZO Editor
Local band Mousy Brown rocked the atmosphere at Urban Outfitters Oct. 30 for “College Night” promoted by public relation students at Boise State. After several weeks of hard work, 11 students at Boise State can boast a very successful promotional campaign. Student Ally Griswold, estimated about 70 hours of work went into the event and thought the overall outcome of the night was very satisfactory. “Everyone worked really hard and it (College Night) worked out very well,” Griswold said. “It was really easy working together as a class.” All of the work behind the night came 100 percent from the students. Urban Outfitters gave the students permission to sponsor the event and offered a discount. The store’s event planner took care of the live music. The success of the students was also celebrated by Urban Outfitters, who greatly benefited from the increase in sales. The promotions for the night was a 10 percent discount with a valid student ID and raffle giveaways throughout the day. “There definitely was an increase in sales after four o’clock, since it was an after school event and students wanted to take advantage of the ten percent,” Urban Outfitters event coordinator, Maggie Hammond said. “A lot of customers came in because of the bands but a lot had to do with the promotions the class did.”
The class used e-mails and fliers to advertise the event. They set a goal of 100 e-mails which they were able to easily surpass. Sophomore Kaci Lombardi and junior Kylie Lomardi saw a sign for “College Night” at Bonefish Grill and decided to take advantage of the discount and hopefully win a raffle prize. Bonefish Grill was one of the sponsors for the night and donated free appetizer coupons for the raffle. The impression Urban Outfitters got from the students work was “very impressive.” Because of the turn out they honored high school and out of state student cards for the discount. When asked if they would work again with BSU students Hammond responded that they wouldn’t hesitate. “The students are really genuine and polite, which I think is really important,” Hammond said. According to Hammond, Urban Outfitters is really about community and they love having events that can bring the community together. This greatly influenced the choice in live music for the night. Three local DJ’s and Mousy Brown took part in attracting the crowds and entertainment. “We try to showcase up and coming talent in Boise,” Hammond said. “This is a way for them to showcase their music.” The music gave the store a more hang-out place type vibe and several students stayed a while instead of just browsing, purchasing something and leaving.

The 2009 WAC Women’s soccer championships are being held this week in Boise at the Boas Soccer and Tennis Complex. Below is a preview of the teams, listed from top to bottom seeds.
1) San Jose State Spartans Record: (11-5-3, 5-1-2 WAC)
The Spartans entered their final regular season conference match against Boise State on a 14-game unbeaten strike. The Broncos ended the streak, as well as SJSU’s unbeaten conference record, with a 1-0 win over the Spartans. It was the first time in nearly two months the Spartans lost. SJSU will try to overcome its untimely first loss in WAC play and capture the tournament title. The Spartans have a first round bye and will face the winner of Nevada versus New Mexico State in the semifinals. Players to watch: Emmy BeldingThe senior forward leads the Spartans in goals scored with 10 and also has an assist this year. Roxy Kamal- The senior forward/ midfielder leads the team in points, with seven goals and nine assists on the campaign.
2) Utah State Aggies
Record: (9-8-2, 5-2-1 WAC)
Utah State enters the tournament with a bit of momentum. They’ve won their last two games after falling to Hawai’i 3-1. The Aggies rank in the middle of the pack in most statistical categories, but just find a way to get the job done. After the disappointing loss to Hawai’i, the two straight wins at the end of the year paired with SJSU’s season finale loss to Boise State should give Utah State ample confidence. Utah State has a first round bye and will play the winner of Boise State versus Fresno State in the semifinals. Players to watch: Shantel Flanary Last year’s WAC Freshman of the Year tied for the second most goals in conference this year and is a threat up top every time she touches the ball. Lauren Hansen- Flanary’s partner at forward combined with Flanary to take 111 shots for the team between the two. Of the 56 she took, Hansen tallied six goals and added three assists.
3) Boise State Broncos Record: (9-6-4, 5-3-0)

State in scoring. A big season finale win over previously unbeaten-in-conference San Jose State earned the Broncos the number three seed and they’ll be looking to take advantage of it. Their first round game is against Fresno State Thursday at 3 p.m. Players to watch: The defense- It’s clear that this is their bread and butter. Man marking and not allowing uncontested shots will be the key to the Broncos’ success along with timely goals. Cheyenne Jones- Everyone knows about Saxton at forward, but it seems like Jones, a junior midfielder, quietly plays a part in every Bronco attack. She has 2 goals and 1 assist on the season.
Boise State takes the WAC’s most dominant defense into the tournament, allowing just 0.81 goals per game and posting 7 shutouts on the year. The Broncos’ are a unit that needs to work together to win games with no standout player. Forwards Erica Parks and Shannon Saxton have each tallied six goals and two assists this year to lead Boise

4) Nevada Wolf Pack Record: (8-11-0, 5-3-0)
Although opening their season with five consecutive losses by the cumulative score of 15-1, the Wolf Pack rocked conference play and won their last three games to clinch the fourth seed in the tournament. Ranking seventh in conference in goals per games and last in goals against average, it’s hard to figure out how they are the fourth seed. But when you look at the schedule, it becomes much more clear. They simply beat the teams they’re supposed to beat. With the exception of Fresno State, the Wolf Pack beat every WAC team this year ranked below them heading into the tournament. Three straight wins at the end of the year, including a 1-0 double overtime win over first round opponent New Mexico State, should give Nevada momentum heading in.

New Mexico State, in its inaugural season, is the fifth seed heading into the tournament. On the other end of Nevada’s spectrum, after going unbeaten in their first five conference games, the Aggies dropped three straight contests to end the regular season and missed out on a potential first round bye. NMSU leads the conference in only one statistical category: yellow cards. However, they are a hot and cold team, with a seven game unbeaten streak right before their three game losing streak. If they can get through their first game, they could win the whole tournament. They play Nevada in the first round at 12:30 p.m. Thursday. Players to watch: Jazmin CardosoCardoso, just a freshman in the midfield, leads the Aggies in shots and goals, and has taken and converted all three of the Aggies’ penalty kicks this year. Yolanda McMillion- McMillion, a freshman defender, has tallied three goals on the year for NMSU. All three goals have been game-winners.
Last year’s WAC tournament champions enter this year as the last seed in the bracket. Fresno State has played in the last four WAC tournament championship games. In their conference game this year, Boise State beat Fresno State 3-1. Fresno State is last in the WAC, averaging just 0.72 goals per game and will need to get a spark offensively if they’re going to make a run. They also rank seventh in goals against average, at 1.33 per game. The Bulldogs play Boise State in the first round at 3 p.m. Thursday. Players to watch: Claudia Cardenas- The junior forward has scored five of the 13 goals this year for the Bulldogs. Cardenas has put 16 of her 20 shots all year on goal. Kaitlyn Revel- For the last two years, Revel, a junior, was a first team All-WAC goalkeeper and was named to the WAC All-Tournament Team. She’ll need to return to that form to help the Bulldogs win the tournament. The tournament kicks off Thursday at 12:30 p.m. with Nevada versus New Mexico State and is followed by Boise State versus Fresno State at 3 p.m. To look at the full tournament bracket, go here.

Boise State has experienced positive production from multiple receivers this year. Sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore experienced six games with seven or more Broncos reigning in receptions. There are 16 Broncos who have receptions through this season. With the emergence of Moore’s younger brother, Kirby Moore, Kellen has one more established weapon in an arsenal of receivers. Still, some athletes who could emerge as dangerous targets. “I think most guys have their guys and if things are tight, that’s where the ball’s going. But that’s not really Kellen,” head coach Chris Petersen said. “Kellen is going where the look is the best coverage-wise. He’s just able to see things and see them in a hurry and dissect coverages. And I think because so many guys catch balls, that really tells you what’s going on out there.”
Blocking Much of the success this season for yards after catch goes to a corps of receivers who have become more physical without the football. The Broncos’ coaches have stressed blocking this season. The wide outs have not disappointed. “You block for your buddy,” sophomore receiver Tyler Shoemaker said. “Those are the guys that we spend the most time with and we all care about each other and want everybody to be successful. When we get a chance to block for each other, and even the running backs, you take pride in that and you try to do the best you can.”
What they’ve got and what to expect Austin Pettis Pettis leads BSU with 553 yards on 41 receptions this season. He’s had visits to the end zone nine times over eight games. His sure hands
are like meat hooks, rarely letting the ball get away after it is touched. Petersen said he has the best hands of any receiver he has ever coached. Pettis has two 100-plus yard games and just three games with less than 50 total yards. He is the most clutch receivers in Kellen Moore’s pocket.
Titus Young Young is the stick of dynamite in the talented group of receivers. His explosive nature is apparent with his shifty moves and ability to get deep beyond defenders as the Broncos’ longball threat. He has 41 receptions and seven touchdowns during 2009. He’s averaged 61.9 yards per game and should see a couple more long shots from Moore for touchdowns.
Tyler Shoemaker The ‘Shoe’ has some pretty strong stats that lead the wide outs for the Broncos. His 17.9 yards per catch and 31.4 yards per game on just 14 receptions through eight games makes him a very dangerous target. Shoemaker is most threatening against linebackers and safeties who don’t match up well with his fine speed and strength. He is the most physical receiver from the line and should continue to tear off big chunks of yardage during the Broncos’ remaining five games.
bined with speed that rivals many linebackers makes him a dangerous target when in man coverage. He has 15 receptions this season with 192 yards receiving.
And… The rest of the receiving corps account for 37 receptions and five touchdowns. Fullback Richie Brockel has seven receptions this season. Wide receivers Mitch Burroughs and Kirby Moore had a touchdown each against San Jose State last Saturday and both have six receptions during 2009. Petersen believes that Kirby Moore’s work ethic and Burrough’s speed are the reasons they should be considered dangerous. “With Kirby and Mitch coming along strong and playing well, it’s just depth that we have at receiver and defenses have to respect that,” Shoemaker said. “That just give everybody more opportunities.” Tommy Gallarda makes for a large target in the end zone with two touchdowns and six receptions for the Broncos. Freshmen Chris Potter and Matt Kaiserman are both good possibilities to get into the mix and the ever dangerous sophomore Doug Martin is always scary when he gets the ball and is no stranger to the end zone with five rushing touchdowns this season.

Jeremy Avery One of BSU’s most dangerous weapons when in open space. He is Kellen Moore’s safety valve underneath on the passing attack and for good reason. He has a 67-yard reception this season for the Broncos’ longest pass during 2009. He’s averaged just under two receptions per game – 15 total – and will continue to see more touches through the air when defenses are caught failing to account for the short passing game.

Long road trip after short week for Broncos TRENT LOOTENS Journalist
For whatever reason, Boise State has never played well in Ruston, La. Aside from the Hawai’i trip, this one is the longest for the Broncos. In Boise State’s three games at Louisiana Tech they’ve never led at the half. Furthermore, No. 7 BSU plays on a short week due to the game being on Friday night and the Broncos having just played last Saturday. “It’s something that both sides have to deal with, not the ideal situation, but I don’t know if there is an ideal situation anymore for teams in college football,” Boise State head coach Chris Petersen said. La Tech 3-5 (2-3 Western Athletic Conference), coming off a hard loss last week at Idaho 35-34, is trying to rebound after losing its last two JOSH RASMUSSEN/THE ARBITER road games by a combined three points - its other loss Boise State head coach Chris Petersen and his team make one of their final two road games to Ruston, La.

Offensively the Broncos need to keep pressure off Kellen Moore and let him feed the ball to his receivers. Last week against San Jose State Moore was under serious pressure and took some big hits. Petersen doesn’t think the hits will effect his quarterback against the Bulldogs. “He’s got that pretty face and kind of prances around back there, but don’t let the looks deceive you, he’s a tough guy. I don’t think you can be a top-notch quarterback without being one of the toughest guys on the field,” the coach said laughing. Junior wide receiver Titus Young played a demoted role last week because of a foolish penalty against Hawai’i. According to Petersen, he should get his playing time back this week if he performs well in practice leading up to Friday’s game. “We just can’t get foolish penalties and that’s the bottom line,” Petersen said. Getting the running game firing on all cylinders remains a big concern for the coaches and will be the key to the game for BSU. A solid run game will allow the receivers to get into space and will give Moore numerous options out of play-action.

BSU Men’s Basketball begins season with win
JOEY MCCULLOUGH Editor
The Boise State men’s basketball team was in action Tuesday night. The Broncos hosted the Bearcats of Willamette University . The game was the first of two exhibition games for BSU before the beginning of the regular season when they face Loyola Marymount on Nov. 13. For both teams, the rust of the offseason showed. The Bearcats, a Division III school, forced the Broncos into some awkward situations. In the first half, the Bearcats came out strong against BSU forcing turnovers on defense and hitting shots to keep the score close much of the first half. On the offensive side, the Broncos had trouble finish-
ing on close shots. In the second half, it was all BSU. The Broncos bench spent most of the time on the floor. The Broncos coasted to a 111 – 72 victory. La'Shard Anderson and Robert Arnold led Broncos with 14 points each. Making his BSU debut was

Graham talked about how there are a couple of players on each team’s roster in the WAC who he thinks will eventually be playing basketball professionally somewhere. Coach Graham is still has confidence in his team. "The (WAC) this year is going to be the best it’s been since I’ve been here," Graham said. "I think we’ve got a lot players and guys who want to prove something.” Last year, the Broncos finished 10-6 in conference play. For fans and students alike, the Feb. 16 game
against Idaho will be circled on the calendar. For Coach Graham and the Broncos, it goes a little further than that. “For us, you need to circle all of them," Graham said. "Our preseason is so important for us to get to the tournament. We need to get the preseason wins as well as the conference wins." This season, Graham and his staff see a lot of potential for this team. “I think this is going to be a very good team," Graham said. "We've got the potential to be as good as any team we’ve had since I’ve been here.” The Broncos have a deeper bench than they've had in years. “We’ve got ten upperclassmen that can play and contribute," Graham said. "Then we have a couple freshmen that will fill in where needed.” The Broncos this season have multiple weapons to supplement the play of veterans Paul Noonan, Anthony Thomas and Kirk Cunningham.
