FIESTA BOWL

Postby Dan Wishengrad on Tue Jan 02, 2007 1:07 am

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the greatest college football game ever? Boise State's miraculous comeback to win after seemingly pissing it all away in the 4th quarter to Oklahoma will certainly go down in gridiron annals as a classic for all time.

I also concur wholeheartedly with the announcer who stated that this win by the Broncos in a BCS game might be the strongest case yet for a playoff in DI. BSU deserves a chance to play for the national title. Too bad this game didn't count as a quarter or semi-final.

I had myself and a handful of friends clad in blue and orange here in Vancouver... what a game! And here I thought the craziest part of today was going to be a bunch of BSU fans in Canada... I'm gonna have to agree with Dan and Rob, best college football game ever... Go Broncos!

NO DOUBT! Greatest game I can remember-there have been some great ones I remember watching, but the razzle dazzle plays last night sealed it as the greatest ever. (2nd on my personal list-'85 Peach Bowl-Army vs. Illinois)

Awsome game indeed. Does Boise State deserve to play for a national championship? Only in a playoff system, but not this year. They proved last night they can beat a ranked opponent once every three years. Lets see if they can make a decent schedule next so their case holds some water.

Joe:

I think BSU will fall prey to the same factors that negate scheduling hard OOC games in College Basketball and Football, namely, who will want to schedule with them? It's not a big name, and it could well be a loss - which could be the deciding factor in whether or not your team becomes bowl eligible.

At least in College Hoops, you are now rewarded for playing a tougher schedule OOC.

They managed to schedule the reigning SEC champ at the time, UGA in 2005. It's hard to back up my "it's easy to beat one decent team per year stance" and praise them for their win last night because Ill be honest...it was a fantastic game. BSU's coach went all out and I dig that. I really thought/expected Stoops to let AP run it in for 2 on their first (and only) possession but he did not.

In all honesty I admit am completely wrong when I say that BSU doesn't deserve a nat'l title bid. In fact I think any team that wants a BCS game should schedule:

Sacramento State
Oregon State
Wyoming
Hawaii
Utah
Louisiana Tech
New Mexico State
Idaho
Fresno State
San Jose State
Utah State
Nevada

Other than the VERY entertaining game last night...I am glad that the BCS tourny shamble came up. I mean Louisville and WVU play decent foes but were going to get shafted even if going undefeated. But until it comes about...powerhouses like Boise State will just keep having to schedule teams like Frankfort All Girls School for the Blind Southwestern Tech at Mongolia for their regular season games and get their multi-million dollar bowl at the end of the year.

I love that the kid who scored the two point conversion immediately ran over to his girlfriend and proposed to her (luckily, she was on the field as a Boise State cheerleader).

CLASSIC.

I thought UO got a couple of make-up calls from the Oregon game with thoese 2 pass interference penalties at the end of the game.

Needless to say, awesome game and incredibly entertaining. I thought the Rose Bowl would have more to offer, but I'll take it wherever I can get it.

This game was more entertaining than the Rose Bowl game, def. Although when Jarrett made that awsome grab and handed it to the d-back guarding him I was reminded of the good ole days :wink:

Haha I like the microphone in her face awaiting her answer. She said yes I assume/hope?
