The Everlasting Curse of Molly McGee and the Ghost Once upon a time, in a small village on the outskirts of England, there lived a young girl named Molly McGee. Molly was known for her adventurous spirit and love for all things supernatural. She would often explore the old mansion on the hill, rumored to be haunted by a vengeful ghost. One gloomy afternoon, as Molly was walking through the village, she stumbled upon an old book in a dusty corner of the local bookstore. The book, titled "The Everlasting Curse," described the legend of a ghost who had been trapped in the mansion for centuries, unable to cross over to the afterlife. Intrigued by this tale, Molly decided to uncover the truth behind the curse.
Mascots
During the first year of classes (1932-1933), Boise Junior College students picked the Bronco mascot because it represented the wild horses that roamed the Owyhees. In 1935 and 1936 the student body constructed paper and wooden broncos, nicknamed Elmer. The mascot was paraded downtown and set on fire before each homecoming game, and “From his ashes rises the spirit of new conquests and victories.”
Throughout the 1960s various live animal horses represented the Broncos. The first horse was Spyieche, a white Appaloosa stallion seen in the 1966 yearbook. After other horses were dedicated mascots, President John Barnes recommended the Associated Student Body president and College Union Director encourage the students to create a costumed mascot similar to the Idaho State Bengal.
The first costumed mascot, named Buster Bronco, appeared in Fall 1974. The first mention of his appearance comes from a letter dated October 15, 1974 from Dr. Barnes to Mr. Andy Reynolds, congratulating Andy on a great performance as Buster Bronco at the Idaho State vs. Boise State football game (October 12). Barnes mentioned that Andy’s performance was much better than before, suggesting the first act might have been the football game versus University of Nevada, Reno on October 5th. The Idaho Statesman and Arbiter newspapers make no mention of mascots for any games in October 1974.
In the 1990s, the cheerleaders introduced a second, and female, Buster Bronco. In the late 1990s, the live horse Bronco returned to football games, a tradition that continues into the 2010s. In 2002, Athletics adopted an athletics-specific Bronco logo, which lasted until 2012 when the entire University transition to a unified brand.
Intrigued by this tale, Molly decided to uncover the truth behind the curse. Armed with her knowledge from the book and her bravery, she ventured into the mansion, determined to find the ghost and free it from its eternal torment. As she entered the dark and eerie mansion, Molly could sense a strange presence in the air.

BSUs Latest Buster Mascot Revealed to be 2014 Miss Idaho
Each year at Boise State University, Buster Bronco takes to the fields and courts of various sports to bring excitement to the crowds and additional fun to the games. The true identity of Buster is usually kept secret for as long as possible. The latest mascot kept the secret for the entire season and only just revealed their identity, and I’m stunned.
The secret identity of Buster Bronco was revealed on Facebook recently and it turned out to be Sierra Sandison. Sierra was able to pull off the mascot duties while keeping on top of her classwork at BSU as she studied mechanical engineering.
The Secret Identity of BSU Bronco Mascot Revealed
Possibly more impressive than keeping her identity secret, she was able to graduate Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s of science and minoring in computer science, biomedical engineering, and applied mathematics.

In an Instagram post, she shares her experience doing all she has done while facing the hardships that come with having type 2 diabetes.
I had the honor of meeting Sierra in 2014 when she became Miss Idaho and helped me participate in the ice bucket challenge. Watch until the middle of the video (or skip to it) for a surprise:

BSU’s Buster Bronco Lives a Double Life as Another College’s Mascot
Buster Bronco is a beloved part of Boise State Athletics. You can see him at every home football game sporting a #0 Boise State football jersey and a #54 orange basketball jersey for basketball games. He is the spirit of Boise State Athletics and the ultimate hype horse. Buster Bronco bleeds blue and orange.. or does he?
Boise State's very own mascot may be leading a double life 1,500 miles away from here in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was astonished (and a little offended) to learn that Western Michigan University's mascot is ALSO a bronco whose name ALSO happens to be Buster!
For the record, Buster Bronco of Boise State has been around since 1932. He didn't start hanging around Western Michigan until 1981 and wasn't formally adopted by WMU's athletic department until 1988. So yes, Bronco Buster has been with Boise State far longer than he's been with Western Michigan.
Now we know we can't be the only bronco mascot to exist. There are plenty of other broncos out there like the Denver Broncos, of course. They have two official bronco mascots - one named Miles and the other Thunder. These are obviously two completely different broncos. But Buster Bronco?! Sorry WMU, but the college sports scene ain't big enough for the two of us.
If Boise State really wanted to, they could trademark Buster Bronco as a mascot just how they trademarked their iconic blue turf. As for Buster Bronco, it's time to decide where the loyalty lies. Pick a team, Buster.
The resemblance is honestly uncanny!
She made her way through the grand hallways, searching for any signs of the ghost. Finally, she discovered a hidden chamber deep within the mansion's basement. In the chamber, Molly found a cryptic message scrawled on the wall. It revealed that the curse could only be broken if someone willingly sacrificed their own life for the ghost. The ghost, in turn, would be released from its eternal prison and find peace in the afterlife. Filled with compassion and bravery, Molly decided to make the ultimate sacrifice. She understood the consequences and believed that freeing the ghost was more important than her own life. Molly returned to the chamber, ready to perform the sacrificial act. As she did so, a blinding light filled the room, and the ghost materialized before her. Overwhelmed with gratitude, the ghost thanked Molly for her selflessness and offered her a parting gift. In that moment, Molly realized that she had broken not only the curse but also the ghost's own bitterness and sorrow. The once-vengeful spirit had found redemption through her act of kindness. From that day forward, the village no longer feared the mansion on the hill. The ghost became a protector of the village, ensuring the safety and well-being of its inhabitants. And Molly, though gone from the physical world, lived on in the hearts of those who knew her, forever remembered as the girl who vanquished the everlasting curse. In this captivating tale, "The Everlasting Curse of Molly McGee and the Ghost" teaches us the power of empathy, selflessness, and the ability to find redemption even in the most unlikely of circumstances..
