OH SNAP! We're playing the burros in Boise Saturday. I have a family event in Spokane so I can't go and I might have to sneak away to catch the kick off and watch the game in secret until the event is over. I hope to never have to ride that plane, but much like AD Spear chose to do I usually fly in and out of Spokane.
MOSCOW, Idaho — The Boise State vs. Idaho rivalry has taken to some not-so-friendly skies.
Idaho athletic director Rob Spear says he declined to board a Horizon Air flight after learning the airplane was painted in Boise State's blue and orange colors.
Spear was traveling to Boise on Saturday for fundraising events. He requested another flight and then drove about 90 miles north to fly from the Spokane, Wash., airport to Boise.
Boise State and Horizon Air unveiled the plane, which sports the team logo on its tail, as an ode to the Broncos earlier this month.
Spear says he'll board the plane after Horizon Air paints an airplane for the Vandals, whose football team will try to beat the No. 6 Broncos this Saturday for the first time since 1998.
