Mac McDonald (former "Voice of the Cavaliers") said this on his show today. Claims he heard it from multiple sources.

He's been wrong before, but boy am I giddy about this.

Here's to hoping it's true.

Get ready for your players to start talking about Xenu in their post game interviews

That's supposedly the reason he hasn't gotten a bigger job yet.

Also, for what it's worth...from Ivan Maisel

quote:

2. If Boise State gets left out of the BCS again, how does head coach Chris Petersen react? Will he tire of hitting his head on the ceiling there? One reason Petersen may remain with the Broncos is that there may not be any high-profile jobs in the west. But keep an eye on Virginia. Yes, Richmond coach Mike London is the favorite, if Al Groh is let go. But UVa executive associate AD Jon Oliver, played hoops at Boise State and went back for the Oregon game this season.

But again, let me reiterate, Mac McDonald isn't exactly "the truth" when it comes to everything UVA. He's been wrong before, so...

Just putting that out there.

This would be an interesting move for Petersen. I think some schools are skeptical about him based on Koetter's and Hawkins' performances after they left Boise State.

Off the subject but Cruise is a freak.

Dude apparently has some type of marraige contract that has a 3-year term and is renegotiated at each renewal. Any one else heard of that?

See the link:

So I can totally understand the caution when hiring a scientologist. After all it is a cult.

The two aren't the same. You don't expect a movie star to go into families' homes and convince them to let their son to effectively "work" for the movie star for 4 crucial years.




Also a better topic for this would be breaking rumor.

Houston Nutt was also a head coach at Boise St. FYI

You're right. No matter how you cut it, it's a rumor.

But it's the first rumor coming from a somewhat reliable source on the radio. Plus, the 'out of nowhere' mention in Ivan's blog makes it somewhat more noteworthy than just 'any other rumor'.

What if Petersen is just another Dan Hawkins?

Then that sucks. No one is saying he's a sure thing...but if he comes to UVA, I like our chances.

Peterson would have a better chance for a BCS game at Boise. If he goes to UVA you will not hear from him again until he is fired.

They are UVA. When you are UVA you have to take a gamble. He'd be by far the biggest hire they could make.

Also forgot to mentioned that our assistant AD Jon Oliver is a BSU grad and apparently he and Petersen are friends.

No and still no! We've got at least 2 Ranters who live in Boise who attend the same non-denominational church every Sunday w/Petersen and his family.

Also, I wrote a piece about the program a year after the Okla. game and asked him that question. He laughed and said he had no idea who started that rumor, saying it was probably a Pac-10 recruiter.
