Boise State Has Muscle Hamster Power

Really, I don't know how to introduce this other than to say that, if you weren't already aware, Boise State RB Doug Martin has a nickname and that nickname is "The Muscle Hamster."

In Friday night’s game against Nevada, The Muscle Hamster is already putting on a show in the first half with 138 yards and two touchdowns.

The real thrill for Bronco fans, however, came last night when an actual Muscle Hamster showed up at the pep rally and took photos with fans and players like. The literal MH and the figurative MH even took some time to snap one together...
