Dailey named color guy for BSU games

BOISE - A former Boise State football player is moving from the field to the broadcast booth.
Jadon Dailey will serve as color analyst for Peak Broadcasting’s broadcasts of Bronco football starting this fall.
The former Bronco center will move back to Boise from Phoenix, where he’s been working in marketing for a radio station in Arizona. Dailey is well known for his passionate contributions to the Out of the Blue documentary that followed his performance in the Fiesta Bowl in 2007.
“The addition of Jadon to our broadcast team will add an insight unique to the Broncos,” Peak Broadcasting’s SVP Kevin Godwin said in a prepared statement. “His recent experience with this team will provide listeners with a vivid description of all the action from start to finish.”
Dailey joins Bob Behler who will provide play-by-play for the radio broadcasts.
The BSU games will be heard on a network of stations, including 580 KIDO in Boise.

    Peak had to hire Dailey to make up for the loss of knowledge and historical background that was lost and Peak knew it had to have in order to have any market credibility.
    I wish Behler & Dailey the best of luck. Study of on history & tradition, boys. You will be needing it.

    As a BSU alum, the history and tradition of the Broncos is important to me, but not my first choice in a game broadcast. After a few seasons Behler and Dailey will find their rhythm and will be fine I’m sure. What I’m hoping for is that they offer an exciting, accurate depiction of what’s happening on the field, and perhaps a little insight into the thought process on the sidelines. Cover tradition in the pre-game for now.
    Paul J. is my friend, and he had a GREAT run, but even good things end, hard to take as that might be. Give the new guys a a chance, help them rather than diss them and maybe there will be a new “tradition” starting at BSU.

    Personally, I don’t listen to a game to hear a history lesson. I listen to the game because I want to know what’s going on in the game. Paul J may have known plenty of BSU history, but his actual play-by-play skills left a lot to be desired.

    Great choice Peak Broadcasting! You are making some smart moves so far.

    So Bronco, Guess this negates your offer to tutor Behler…unless you feel the need to teach Jadon about Boise State football (which you probably do).

    I recommend the following publications for Mr. Behler and others interested in Boise State history or wishing to gain a little perspective:
    Barrett, Glen. Boise State University: Searching for Excellence, 1932-1984. Boise: BSU. 230 pages with bibliography. Also available in the circulating collection: LD2307.I22B37

    Chaffee, Eugene B. Boise College: An Idea Grows. Boise: Syms-York. 1970. 273 pages with bibliography. Also available in the circulating collection: LD2307.I22C48

    Ourada, Patricia K. The Broncos: A History of Boise State_University Athletics, 1932-1994. Boise: BSU. 1994. Also available in the circulating collection: GV691.B62094 1994

    Hershey, Mary T. History of Boise Junior College. 1955. 44 pages. Spec Coll LD2307.I22H3

    Keiser, John. Be a Leader. 1993. 190 pages. Archives LD2307.I22K45 1993

    Oliver, Henry Lincoln. Boise State University: The First Fifty_Years. PhD. Diss., Washington State University. 1983. 154 pages. Also available in the circulating collection: LD2307.I22O4

    Interviews of former faculty members (Oral history collections)

    President’s scrapbooks of newspaper clippings, 1933-1968 (RG 5.0)

    Subject files of clippings, photocopied documents, and other materials on university history created by Professor Glen Barrett (MSS 66)

    Index of articles in the Idaho Statesman pertaining to Boise State University, 1984-present.

    Despite what one thought of Paul J.’s talent as a broadcaster, his knowledge of BSU history, which, I concede, he earned by experience, gave him perspective and credibility in this market. This is the same credibility and respect given to Tom Scott, Dee Sarton, Mark Johnson, Carolyn Holly, Jon & Chris, and a few others in this media market. But, I guess my brother and I are the only ones who appreciated a little perspective and credibility in the sports and information we partake in.
