Boise State Fan Bill Morgan Doesn't Let Being Blind Hinder His Enjoyment

Filed under: Boise State

BOISE, Idaho - When Boise State takes on Utah in the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas on Wednesday, Bill Morgan won't be in the same room as his wife Lynda. But it's not because they live in a house divided - it's always like that on game day for one of the Broncos' biggest fans.

In fact, Morgan is never even in his house. When you know what's going to happen before everyone else, it stands to reason that you can become the most annoying person in the room.

However, Morgan's ability to see in the future doesn't come from some prophetic power.

He's simply blind.

"We tried watching games together but she couldn't do it with me," said Morgan, who suffers from the genetic disease retinitis pigmentosa and has been blind for more than 50 years. "When I listen to the games, the radio is about three to four seconds ahead of television and I would ruin it for her. I would be hollering or making a comment - and she literally hadn't seen it on the screen."
