Episode 101 is here — and it’s a big one! Matt, Brandon, and Mark are joined by special guest Jacob Bleymaier, better known as Bronco Believer on YouTube, for one of the most in-depth Boise State conversations we’ve had on this show. Jacob shares how Boise State football became a core part of his identity as a military brat, why he started his YouTube channel during COVID pilot training, and the passion behind his in-depth game reviews and annual highlight rewatch series. We get into the Brendan Sorsby gambling scandal and what it means for the future of betting in college football, break down the Protect College Sports Act and whether it’ll actually pass with the Big 12/ACC conference-freeze amendment attached, and have a long, honest conversation about the standard at Boise State — what it was, what it is now, and whether the program can ever get back there under Spencer Danielson. Plus: memorabilia show and tell (including a piece of original 1986 blue turf!), comment section chaos, our 100th episode giveaway update, Maddox Madsen hot takes, and Five Questions with Jacob going for a perfect 5-for-5. 🎙️ Guest: Jacob Bleymaier— Bronco Believer on YouTube 🎙️ Sponsors: United Commercial Insurance — shoutout to Brandon Hidden Springs Physical Therapy — shoutout to Mark 📧 Contact us: shirtsandskinspodcast.com Timestamps 0:00 – Intro & new theme song reactions 1:47 – Welcome Jacob Blaymire (Bronco Believer) 4:05 – How Jacob started his YouTube channel during COVID pilot training 5:00 – Annual full-season highlight rewatch tradition (DVDs to YouTube) 6:46 – Why Boise State?
