"They Took His Head Off" — The Hit That Changed Boise State Forever (Tim Gilligan) Ep.105

In 2001, Boise State's punt returner got absolutely detonated by a top-10 Fresno State team on national TV. He couldn't talk. He couldn't breathe right. Five doctors asked him the same question that night. And that hit — plus what the Broncos did after it — became the turning point that put Boise State football on the map.That returner was Tim Gilligan, and he's in the studio.Tim joins Matt, Mark and Brandon for a full breakdown of the walk-on era: how a kid from Elko, Nevada talked his way onto the roster as a kicker, why he never called a fair catch, and what the program looked like before the blue turf became a national brand. We roll his highlight tape and watch it with him live.We also get into the No Fair Catch Scholarship — Tim's foundation supporting walk-on athletes and the Parkinson's community — including the surprise reveal to Zeke Martinez and this year's Walk On for Parkinson's fundraiser.Then it's fall camp, Maddux Madsen, the Fely/Earby eligibility ruling, the Mountain West settlement, Banana Ball chaos at Albertsons Stadium, who should be on Boise State's jersey, and Five Questions.🔵 SUPPORT THE NO FAIR CATCH SCHOLARSHIP Instagram: @nofaircatch87 Facebook: No Fair Catch Scholarship Walk On for Parkinson's — October 24, Capital High School, Boise🦷 THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BOISE DENTISTRY CO.
