Over the past few decades, the city of Boise, Idaho has grown significantly. The people who live there believe it is a special place. Current football head coach Andy Avalos told SB Nation, everything you need from the city is in about a threemile by threemile space near downtown. As someone who was born and raised in New Jersey some 2,500 miles away you would think I would never have thought of the city of Boise, Idaho. But as I was growing up their football team was shocking the nation and I became fascinated by their blue turf and their underdog attitude. This is the rise of Boise State.
