Handshakes for Boise St. and Oregon?

Posted By: Nick, Off The Pond under Football  | August 16, 2009 

Okay kids, play nice and shake hands.

TheĀ American Football Coaches Association and NCAA are out to make sure everyone gets along this year.

During the first week of the season, teams are being ever-so-kindly told they should have all players shake hands prior to the game. Nothing is mandatory and the orange slices and Capri Suns are certainly optional.

It’s all well and nice but I’m left anticipating the Boise St.-Oregon meet and greet. Will Jeremiah Masoli and graduated senior Ellis Powers fondly reminisce over the UO quarterback’s concussion from a year ago? Do you think BSU cornerback Kyle Wilson and UO tight end Ed Dickson will compare notes about how to talk better trash? Perhaps Oregon fans and Bronco enthusiasts will create one big hands-across-Boise moment.

Yeah, I like where this is heading. Let’s all just shake hands and get along.

    They’re only supposed to be cordial before the game. Orange slices are at half time. And hopefully we lace theirs with a sedative.

    Can’t all us knuckel heads just get along

    What would be really fitting is if they pull a statue of liberty play on the Broncos. I would also like to see some reps from Deron Thomas who almost singlehandedly brought them back last year.
