Boise has that cached with people over 35 and under 50. People over 50 don't give them much consideration in the college landscape. People under 35 don't have the BCS controversy and Statue of Liberty burned into their head. The average high school player outside of the NW and California is mostly oblivious.

I don't think they're an unknown for today's high school students. Boise gets a lot of love from ESPN, and the smurf turf is recognizable.
For those potential recruits, yes they've faded since 2014 Fiesta, and statue of liberty in 2007 Fiesta may not resonate, but still some brand value with today's youngsters. Not as much but still there.

Fair enough, the blue turf holds some resonance. I would contend that reality is by far closer to my assessment that that they are a ND of the G5. Which to be truthful seems to be the role of BYU.

Actually, the blue turf has lost its novelty and is just annoying. Imagine if other teams went that route -- red turf in Cincy, purple at ECU, gold at CFU, etc. Gross.

Its still pretty novel. Blue at Boise, Red at Eastern Washington, Teal at Coastal Carolina.

Purple and gray at Central Arkansas, blue turf at Bowie State, I think there are others.
