Johnny and Greg (in for Prater) ask Boise State fans what kind of hatred they have towards Washington as the Huskies come to Boise for a basketball exhibition on Saturday. It's Friday which means the College Football Six-Pack is back, as is the BNN Report with BJ Rains talking all things BSU hoops and the Friday Five. Also, how much fun is it to hate watch as a sports fan? There were probably a lot of people hate watching the Dodgers getting swept in the NLCS, right? Lastly, is it CFP or bust for Boise State?
