Racist threats put a damper on Boise State Running Back Ian Johnson's upcoming wedding to Boise State Cheerleader Chrissy Popadics. 
Since his Jan. 1 proposal, Johnson said, he has received phone calls, letters and some personal threats from people who object to their marriage plans.
"You take it for what it is - the less educated, the less willing to change," Johnson, 21, of San Dimas, Calif., told the Idaho Statesman for its Tuesday editions. "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."
This whole game was one of the most incredible games I have ever seen and the fairy tale proposal at the end made it even better (even though some think it was barf-worthy sweet). It was one of those rare moments in sports that people who saw it will never ever forget and it's really unfortunate that some losers are ruining not only this moment, but two people's wedding day!

The wedding is scheduled for Saturday and I think that's awesome. And Ian, your fiance'/wife to be is totally fly.
So happy.

One incredible game. The majority of people in Idaho support the players and their life choices as do I.
It's amazing how closed minded people still are about the race thing. Twenty one is a young age to wed though!
