Kellen Moore returns to Boise State for statue unveiling ceremony

Calling Kellen about that we were doing a statue in the first place and you know it's like he kind of laughed and it's like I don't know he doesn't want he doesn't need that type of recognition and and that makes it that much more powerful for us so it's really in the people the blue is is powerful right but it's because of the people who came before us and it's it's their shoulders that we're building off of. I did not expect that obviously, you know, it's a really cool honor and I think hopefully it just kind of is a representation for an era of Boise State football that was really fun, really special. A whole bunch of guys that, you know, did things the right way and had a lot of fun doing it. It's cool, you know, and obviously I have just so much appreciation for what JD has done at this place and continue to work to continue to bring Boise State through this college football era and, you know, it's just a really cool opportunity. We talk about it. Once a Bronco, always a Bronco. And to have that history and tradition and to have that foundation, I mean, I mean, to see our guys today when Kellen spoke to the team, I mean, it's just really cool. Part of me being here is him. I remember watching those games and what Boise State was accomplishing, and we owe a lot to him, and so I'm very grateful. To me, that's what makes this place unique. It's the people that lead it. It's the players, but it's a community-run football team. You know, to see every Saturday night when you turn these games on and see the crowd and the atmosphere and you don't see that a lot of other places in college football. And so it's a special place. I think anyone who's played here loves it, loves when you're in the NFL world and you go against different teams and you run into more Boise State people and everyone wears those colors very proudly and states that name very proudly. The blue field is an instant connector for anyone across this entire world, and so whether you're playing in Paris or New Orleans, wherever it may be, everyone's seen that blue field, and so it's an instant connection, and then once they do a little research, they discover how amazing this community, this city, this state, this campus is.
