There really was only one spot in Elko, Nev., where a young rabid Boise State football fan could hear gameday radio broadcasts more than a decade ago.
Benton Wickersham, today a sophomore linebacker for the Broncos, was that fan.
Even before he was old enough to play football, he was committed. Back in the dark ages, when not every game was on TV, he and his grandfather would get in his truck, drive to the top of a big hill and listen if they couldn’t watch.
“For some reason, the only place we could hear it pretty clear was next to this old auto shop,” Wickersham said.
