Boise targets rats and turkeys with new nuisance ordinance
Boise’s new nuisance ordinance is aimed at two very different pests: invasive rats and increasingly troublesome wild turkeys. The city says both problems can be worsened by accessible food sources, so the ordinance requires residents to better secure trash, compost, pet food, fallen fruit and bird feeders, with enforcement beginning in December. See how Boise is trying to cut off the food sources attracting pests and how the city is coordinating with Central District Health on rat control .

Boise State moves up in College Football Playoff rankings. See the top 25 here
The College Football Playoff committee released its second set of rankings on Tuesday night, and Boise State remains in the driver’s seat among Group of Six teams vying for a spot in the 12-team playoff. The committee ranked Boise State. No. 24, a one spot rise from last week’s initial ranking of No. 25. The move comes after Boise State produced a 64-38 victory at Colorado State over the weekend with backup quarterback Max Cutforth starting under center. With just under four weeks until the final rankings are revealed, the Broncos currently sit at No. 12 in the bracket and would face No. 5 Notre Dame if the season ended today. The first round of the playoffs is played on-campus, meaning a trip to South Bend, Indiana, could be in the Broncos’ future. Boise State played at Notre Dame in 2025, losing 28-7 to the Fighting Irish. Boise State is included in the 12-team bracket because the highest-ranked team from a Group of Six conference is guaranteed an automatic berth into the playoffs. The G6 conferences are the Mountain West, American, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Mid-American, and Pac-12, the latter of which Boise State competes in. No other G6 team

Guards pace Broncos in third straight 100-point performance
BOISE — Damari Wheeler-Thomas saw just how lethal he and Aginaldo Neto could be together in the backcourt when he joined the Boise State men’s basketball team this summer. When the duo was on the court together, Wheeler-Thomas saw just how much of a force they could be, and it made him excited. “I was talking about it over the summer, when we’d be on the same team in 5-on-5, it would be like, ‘Bro, there’s nothing much the other team can do,’” said Wheeler-Thomas. “We both can create for one another, we both can create for the team and we can both make shots. So, it’s big for us offensively and defensively.” Neto and Wheeler-Thomas showed that chemistry Wednesday in a 111-79 win against Oakland at ExtraMile Arena. The Broncos’ two starting guards combined for 48 points and 11 assists. “It’s just great,” Neto said about playing with Wheeler-Thomas. “Playing with a guy that can create for me and other guys is much easier when he’s on the court with me.” Neto led the Broncos with 25 points and five assists, while Wheeler-Thomas had 23 points and six assists. They helped Boise State (3-0) keep its early-season offensive streak

Undaunted Stewart breaks through for Broncos' run game against Rams
BOISE — Harry Stewart came to Boise State this offseason fully aware that the Bronco football team already had both Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines established at the running back position. The Kansas transfer knew that he was going to have to fight for any time he saw on the field this season. He wouldn’t have it any other way. “It was just seeing what they do to guys, the history of the running backs,” Stewart said about what attracted him to Boise. “Obviously with (Ashton) Jeanty, Jay Ajayi, the history of running backs here, they put guys in the league. And with Si and Dylan, even when I was at Kansas, hearing what they were doing, I knew that development, the coaches that we have here, the staff, the process of being here, I know I have a better chance of getting to the next level, which is what I want to do.” With Gaines out with an injury in last week’s 64-38 win against Colorado State, Stewart had his first big moments for the Broncos in the fourth quarter. The junior running back had nine carries for 89 yards in the final 20 minutes of the game. He

Young Broncos lift team to 3-0 start
BOISE — Boise State women’s basketball coach Gordy Presnell just graduated one triple-double threat. Perhaps he has another one on his hands? Freshman Zia-Daye Anderson did not have a triple-double in Tuesday’s 82-59 win against CSUN at ExtraMile Arena, but in her third game as a Bronco, Anderson showed every bit capable of doing so in the future. She went into halftime on pace to record the fourth triple-double in program history and finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in the Broncos’ win. Once again, Anderson was in just the third game of her college career. “It feels really nice,” said Anderson. “I’m just playing like myself and playing the game.” After last season, Boise State (3-0) graduated Abby Muse, who in 2024 became the third Bronco to record a triple-double in program history in a Mountain West Tournament opening-round win against Utah State. On paper, there might look like there’s little similarities between the two. Muse was a 6-foot, 3-inch forward, while Anderson is a 5-7 guard. But when Anderson looks at Muse’s game, she sees a fight and intensity, which Presnell sees in Anderson. “Zia is a talent,” said Presnell. “I believe she averaged 35
