Bluer pastures suit Petersen (Boise State)
BOISE, Idaho – More than 300 people have come to hear his six-minute speech, but as Boise State coach Chris Petersen enters the buffet line, he jokes that there’s only one good thing about the booster luncheons he attends each football season.
“I’m just glad these things are on Monday,” Petersen says. “This way I can get it over with and move on with my week.”
Don’t get the wrong idea about Petersen.
The Broncos’ football coach is as down-to-earth as your child’s Sunday school teacher and as friendly as a Wal-Mart greeter – traits these Boise State diehards obviously admire as they cackle at Petersen’s one-liners between bites of banana cream pie.
Still, deep down, Petersen doesn’t want to be here.
