Kellen Moore the Megahumble Megastar

Filed under: NCAA Football

BOISE, Idaho -- They are talking about Dinah, a ghost who is said to roam the halls of the Communication Building. Supposedly, Dinah mischievously turns on computers after they've been switched off for the day; there have also been reports of strange writing appearing on chalkboards, and odd bursts of disembodied giggling coming from the attic.

According to the Boise State co-eds who are hanging out at Papa Joe's on this fine autumn afternoon, legend has it that Dinah is a bit snobby, interacting only with men. Naturally, this tidbit guides the conversation back to the lone subject that matters this week. One of the students wonders if Dinah has been lucky enough to come across Kellen Moore, and everyone agrees this makes perfect sense because Moore, after all, is a communications major -- and Dinah, doomed to haunt the building after being rejected by a date decades ago, undoubtedly is a Broncos fan.

A jog along the Oregon Trail (how's that for foreshadowing?) here is noteworthy because every runner seems to be wearing blue and orange, often with the word Moore stenciled across the shoulder blades. A quick stop at a local convenience store on Vista Avenue turns into a half-hour lecture from the clerk about Moore's uncanny accuracy and fluid throwing motion. If Moore, Boise State University's junior quarterback, is aware that his name is one degree removed from most every conversation in most every gathering place from Pocatello to Coeur d'Alene, he sure wouldn't admit it.
