And another former Boise Bronco was signed to the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. We cover Idaho sports news with Chadd Cripe of the Idaho Statesman.

He is giving a presentation in Moscow on Saturday entitled "Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Idaho History" and Stapilus joins Idaho Matters to talk about Idaho's biggest "jerks" and what makes their legacy less than rosy.

- Boise State graduate student Hayley Noble's work has focused on gender roles during World War II and her new exhibit, Soviet Women in Combat during WWII, looks at the considerable role women played. From snipers to fighter pilots to tankers, Soviet women played an active role in many forward positions. Noble joins Idaho Matters to talk about these women and how they contributed to victory over Nazi Germany.
