Oregon State arrives in Boise needing a win after two straight losses

Two weeks ago, Oregon State looked like a safe bet for the Pac-12 title game. Then came a 38-22 loss at Fresno State on Oct. 31 and a 42-21 home loss to Texas State, and Saturday is now close to a must-win for the Beavers. Boise State can clinch a spot in the Dec. 4 title game, plus hosting rights, with a win.

The Broncos have beaten both of those teams, but not easily: 38-31 over Fresno State and 46-45 over Texas State. Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said he's “really impressed with their quarterback.”

Amazon drones

If you live in Nampa or Meridian and hear buzzing overhead, you're not alone: both cities say residents are calling in about Amazon's drones. launched Oct. 30 from Nampa, one of three new areas added to Amazon's 13 existing ones, with packages up to five pounds flying within 7.5 miles. Both cities have posted how to file complaints with Amazon and the FAA, and Nampa says it's talking with Amazon about its conditional use permit. At least one Nampa neighbor is already searching for another place to live. Boise DevKBOIIdaho News 6 Boise Twin Falls (KIVI)Idaho Press

Bogus Basin uncovered its stored snow pile this week, and about 60% of it made it through the summer. The team stored more than the previous year despite record-low snowfall in 2025/26, having covered the pile in late March. Officials hope to open the slopes by November's end.
