Boise State junior quarterback Brett Rypien faces Washington State on Saturday night on the same field his uncle, Mark, became a Cougar legend.
“I know I won’t have to get a ticket for him because I think he gets season tickets for life,” Rypien said.
Mark played for the Cougars from 1982 to 1985 and played 11 NFL seasons. He told the Idaho Statesman last year when the Broncos and Cougars faced off, “My heart and soul is in both directions, but I’m a Cougar through and through. I hope Brett throws for 490 yards and seven touchdowns, but loses to my Cougars 63-49.
