I honestly would love to see that and like cheering for the underdog.
They're not an underdog, they beat on crap teams all year.

All crap teams?? They beat TCU last year in the Fiesta Bowl, who were the 3rd ranked team in the country as well as Oregon in the season opener. There conference schedule is definitely weak but you have to give credit where credit is due.

They have always been the underdog but are finally getting some recognition this year. Regardless, if they were to play in the national championship game they would definitely be an underdog which was my point.

TCU is not a good team. They are Boise State of the MWC.

Great start by the Broncos. Turnover and a blocked punt = 10 pts early

on a side note, it's a travesty this isn't being shown on tv up here...

if bsu wins this game and the way the media is hyping up BSU they will get a free shot to the BCSCG.

It's pathetic with who they play too.

You couldn't tell me that BSU could make it through a PAC10 sched with out a couple of losses.

Sure they can win the big game that they have a month to prepare for at the beginning and end of the year. Lets see them go to Tuscaloosa and play Alabama and then go home and play LSU at home the very next week. Nope, they get the likes of San Jose state one week and some other poly tech school the next.

They can play that "everyone is scared of us" card all they want. But with the ridiculous demands that they have are just a joke. They want to be paid to go to another big schools house along with a return trip to Boise. Sorry you have to decide and pull either a punk school that your are or Bobby Bowden and play anyone anywere to build a program like he did at FSU.

they also need to get rid of that gimmic ass grass of a field they have. It's pathetic. It would be like the Flames painting the ice red because that is the team color.

I'd love to, that's a $400 plane ticket I wouldn't be able to swing, unfortunately. Not to mention a couple evenings in Tiger Town...

Games in Gainesville. Fly to B'ham crash at my place and we roll to gainesville. Party, watch football and head home. Then you can go back to being a farmer or whatever you do in montana. (lol)

And Boise takes a 33-30 lead late.

Say what you want about BSU (and I'm not a fan or anything), but they are gamers.

Edit: and they make the big games damn exciting...

Yup.

Not a whole lot of teams in the country that can make a drive like that in such a huge game and what is pretty much a road game.

It's a crying shame that this game wasn't on in Canada.

Fortunately there are other less-legal ways to watch ESPN.
