Tweet... Tweet

Yesterday I posted about the Idaho Press-Tribune involving local twitter users to enhance their Boise State Fiesta Bowl coverage. Last night when I was watching the Orange Bowl (more about that below) I received a message on twitter from Vickie Holbrook, the Managing Editor of the Idaho Press-Tribune. She asked my name so that she could reference it in a blog post. I appreciated that. That is what social media can do. It can change the way that we interact with content providers. Not only in promotions or contests, but by enhancing the development of the content that we ourselves consume. For some people that is too much and I get that. But the Fiesta Bowl experience was better for me because of the tweeters. Here are some that I follow and that were active in the tweeting of the fiesta bowl.

The Orange bowl was ok. The best part was when Iowa tried a fake field goal. Looked like a play out of the Bronco playbook, except without the precise execution that Boise State excels with.

There is a lot of Fiesta Bowl coverage coming our today (as expected).

Here's a few that I found...

Broncos Win!

If you don't pay attention to college football or you live under a rock, you may not know; Boise State Broncos won the 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl! It was definitely a defensive struggle. TCU fought a good battle. Boise State did what they needed to to they capitalized on TCU mistakes and played without making mistakes of their own. The Broncos will finish the season as one of two unbeaten teams in the nation. Going 14-0 is something that only one other team has done and that was Ohio State in the early 2000's. Not bad company to be in.

As I watched the game last night I used my new toy from Tammy (my iPhone) to keep up with all the chatter. It was fun to see the tweets related to each play and officiating call. One of the tweets came from Idaho Press Tribune editor Vickie Holbrook, looking for ideas for the following mornings headline. 

In my Twitter feed I posted the following:

Gotta say that I am proud of that.

Go Broncos!

Best of the Decade

Boise State is off to the Fiesta Bowl again. This time to face another undefeated, TCU. It will surely be a great game. This time it's different. Last season Boise State lost to TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl. Boise State does not want that to happen again. But before we can move on to 2010 we need to look at the past decade.


Here is a clip from ESPN about some of the best moments from the past decade.
