## Resource

Boise State kicked off their season with a roaring home win over Memphis, 20-38, while celebrating 40 years of their legendary blue turf—a bold move from 1986 that turned them into a national icon. Artist Armando Villarreal designed a commemorative helmet honoring the turf’s history, including the original 1986 midfield logo and a 40-year marker—Villarreal himself grew up watching it on TV. The blue field isn’t just grass—it’s a cultural landmark, deeply tied to the program’s identity and fan passion, especially among longtime supporters like “Blue Elvis,” who played on it in high school. As Boise State heads into the Pac-12, the hype is electric—and their next home game? September 19th. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
