Twelve-year-old Kyle Daniel, of Rogers, Ark, cheers during Wednesday's pep rally at the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. "This was his Christmas present," said his mother, Stephanie Daniel, shown at right. "We picked him up at school this week and told him, 'We're going to the game.' " The family moved to Arkansas three years ago from Idaho and have remained big Bronco fans. "It took him a week to grow it,"said his mother, about the blue goatee. Several thousand fans, both from Boise State and Arizona State, packed the Fremont Street Experience for the event. CHRIS BUTLER — Chris Butler/Idaho Statesman
