BSU Scores Big, Albertsons-Kroger Fumble, and Funny Facebook Finds

It was a big week in Boise business and sports news, so host Lindsay Van Allen is breaking down the headlines with local comedian Brittany Hargis. First off, we’re taking a look at how the rejected Kroger-Alberstons merger and subsequent lawsuit could affect Idaho families and grocery shoppers. Then we’re celebrating Boise State Football’s Mountain West Championship win (though not by dismantling the goal posts and throwing them in the river), and crossing our fingers that running back Ashton Jeanty will take home the Heisman Trophy on Saturday. Plus, you’ll never believe the unhinged gems we found on Facebook Marketplace!
