The Shirts & Skins Podcast

Boise State basketball is officially in panic mode — and we’re not pretending otherwise. In this episode of Shirts & Skins, we break down what’s gone wrong with the Broncos: • Three straight ugly losses • A stagnant offense with zero ball movement • Leon Rice calling out the crowd • Fans calling for jobs • NIL money, apathy, and the scary future nobody wants to say out loud We also give away cash to commenters, talk CFP perspective, hit football portal updates, and somehow end up debating gas-station tornadoes and DoorDash showing up mid-show. If you’re frustrated, confused, or just here to see someone finally say the quiet part out loud — this one’s for you. 👇 Drop a comment, like the video, and subscribe for weekly Boise State coverage.

College football is in full identity crisis — and the G5/G6 schools are getting dragged like they stole Christmas gifts from under the tree. In this episode, we break down the first round of the CFP, the nonstop “P4 vs G5” discourse, and why it feels like the sport is sprinting toward a split.
