As everyone in the college football world knows, Boise State tailback Ian Johnson is getting married to Broncos cheerleader Chrissy Popadics. He proposed to her on national television immediately after helping defeat Oklahoma in a much-celebrated David over Goliath slaying.Although Johnson is rarely seen doing anything but smiling and winning, this kind of, totally, sucks:
Johnson said he's received phone calls, 30 letters and, in some instances, personal threats from people who objected to his plans to marry Popadics.Johnson is now under some form of protection to ensure nothing crazy goes on at his wedding. Hopefully everything goes off without a hitch and Johnson keeps on smiling and scoring touchdowns while officially starting a new wife with the soon-to-be Mrs. Johnson.
"You take it for what it is -- the less educated, the less willing to change," Johnson told the Statesman. "But we're not acting like we're naive to all the stuff that's going on. We know what's been said. We're going to make sure we're safe at all times. It's an amazing day for us, and we'd hate to have it ruined by someone."
