Boise State vs Nevada


The purple people eaters at TCU won't do any choking this year, it is the season of the Texas teams, well except Dallas Cowboys ot UT Longhorns :lol:

They choked that game away. Boise didn't know how to respond to a challenge. It had been 2 months since the VaTech game, and beating up on all of those lesser quality teams by 40+ points threw them off. It is easy to get amped to play that big game against Big BCS, but what happens when the Nevada's and Fresno's of the world rise up and give you a challenge? Every BCS national champion has had that gutcheck game near the "knock-out" part of the season where they had to overcome some adversity to keep their title hopes alive.(2010 Auburn at Alabama/ Oregon at California, 2009 Alabama at Auburn, 2008 Florida vs Alabama, 2007 LSU vs Florida, 2006 Florida vs South Carolina, you get the picture.) Unfortunately for Boise, the build up to this game was that Nevada was the last test on their schedule, and they couldn't close the deal. The question is, what bowl game will Boise end up in. Nevada is the WAC Champion and will get the top bowl for the WAC. Will Boise possibly steal a bid from a lower-level BCS team?

Hell no, Boise probably gonna host the humanitarian Bowl on they home field... whatever the case ain't no way they gonna beat another SEC/Big Ten team out for a spot in the a BCS game.
 



The Humanitarian Bowl tie-in is against the #3 selection from the MAC, not exactly still competition for Boise State. I believe they may end up taking a bowl spot from a BCS league that doesn't get enough qualifiers. Perhaps they swipe the Pac 10's spot in the Holiday, Alamo or Las Vegas Bowls. With Southern Cal suspended from bowl games this season, and two teams from the conference (Oregon, Stanford) going to the BCS games, there should be an extra two or three Pac 10 bowl slots open.

How did they choke? They were positioned to win... the kicker missed two makeable game winners. That's not choking...that's just bad execution down the stretch against a one loss top 20 conference rival on the road.

There's not a team out there who they can't beat...

They were up 24-7. That's choking. Just like Bama did against Auburn.
 
Im starting to wonder now.... if LSU wins today does a 1 loss SEC team jump TCU...Everyone forgot about LSU after they lost to Auburn but keep in mind they are #5 right now...Boise will drop which will probably leave it as Oregon, Auburn, TCU, LSU...
 
I know a lot of people are wondering why I didn't post after Boise State lost last night. Well, I had some more important obligations to take care of. I will say that I believe Boise State is still a great team. Before losing to Nevada, the Broncos had won 36 straight regular season games.

Say what you want about the competition along the way, but to win that many games is a testament to how well those young men are coached. However, you have to give Nevada credit for not giving up and keep fighting. Many said Nevada would be a tough test for the Broncos. And they were right.

I feel bad not only for Boise, but for all the non-AQ schools. Why? Because the Mark Mays, Gary Danielsons and E. Gordon Gees of the world will use the loss to say, "See, these schools don't deserve to be mentioned among the elite in college football."

I'm disappointed that the Cartel dodged a huge bullet with Auburn winning and Boise State losing. If those scenarios come out different, a non-AQ would be guaranteed a spot in the BCS title game.

Boise along with TCU and Utah were the only schools in the country who were in a no-win situation. When they beat "The Little Sisters of the Poor," the argument is that they haven't played anyone. When they play a close game or happen to lose those games, the argument then "is how could they lose to school like that?"

I think come preseason 2011, the voters, no matter how Boise State finishes this season, will severely punish them for what transpired last night. And that is not fair.

I wasn't wondering. I figured you'd post sooner or later.

Yeah, I was eventually going to. LOL

But there is a bright side for Boise State, however. They get to prove themselves again next season versus Georgia at the Georgia Dome in the Kickoff Classic.

That's what a true fan does........loves his/her team no matter what! Win, lose, mess ups, ufck ups, whatever.....ride-or-die fans will be there......ALWAYS!:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
 



I don't blame the kicker.....becuz his TEAM put him in that position. they blew a 24 point lead!! if they woulda played the same way they did prior, and made stops on defense like they were suppose too...then the kicker wouldn't have been an issue.

this lose only exposed them...you had a 30+ win streak against mid-bottom tier teams with a few upsets of ranked opponents, and you think that qualifies you for BCS. this game was only a reality check....




~walks out~
 
Oh... Po' LSU :lol: thats another team out of our way :) WAR DAMN EAGLE!

But serious question tho...if Auburn were to lose the SEC game, and TCU were to lose there next game, leaving Oregan the only undefeated, who should go? seeing All would be 1 lost teams, but AU with the tougher opponants....

Exposed them? Boise State hadn't lost a regular season game since 2007, bro. Sure, Boise shouldn't have blown a 17-0 lead. Alabama blew a 24-0 that same day against Auburn at HOME no less. Was Bama exposed? Did losing that game prove the Crimson Tide is no longer an elite program?

Comments like yours prove folks were just waiting for Boise State to lose to discredit their run.

TCU finished their regular season schedule Saturday. If Oregon or Auburn were to lose, the Horned Frogs would be going to Glendale. If Oregon and Auburn were to both lose, TCU would play Stanford in the national title game.

Comments like yours show the Boise Nut Hugging. Since 2007, HOW many of thos teams were RANKED!?! any DECENT team can prepare for one possibly 2 ranked teams on they schedule a year and squeeze out a win folk. they got exposed by a #19 team period.

Ima Auburn fan, so i could give two shits about bama seriously. Buuuut for the sake of the convo...AU was more exposed than Bama. SEriously. AU was SUPPOSE to win that game, and bama Stopped the run. Now, please don't compare Bamas team and sched with Boises :retard:

What does it matter how many teams were ranked or not when Boise State beat them? Heck, our schools can't win 36 total games over a four-year period, and some say the SWAC is one of the worst conferences in America.

To win 36 straight regular season games in the FBS, FCS, DII or DIII is a remarkable accomplishment.

It is widely known that Big Six conference schools don't want to play schools like Boise State, Utah, TCU etc. The power conference schools would rather schedule the Little Sisters of the Poor in C-USA, the Sun Belt, the Georgia States of the world and even HBCU schools.

Coaches admit it makes no sense to schedule a school like Boise State if they really want to compete for a national title because the risk of losing is too great.

Here are some "marquee" wins by a few Big Six conference leagues this season.

Big Ten: Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Iowa State, Connecticut, Arizona State.

Big 12: Washington, Wash. St., Cincinnati, Georgia, Georgia Tech, UCLA, Illinois, Florida State.

SEC: Duke, South Fla., A&M, Penn State, Louisville, UNC, Clemson, Georgia State

Pac 10: Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Virginia, Minnesota, Louisville, Syracuse, Texas, Colorado, Tennessee, Iowa.

ACC: Navy, Cincinnati, BYU, East Carolina, Rutgers, Central Michigan, FIU, Eastern Michigan, Vanderbilt

And here is the SEC a little closer.

Non-Conference Games/Record

Alabama - San Jose State, Penn State, Duke, Georgia State

Auburn - Arkansas State, Clemson, Louisiana-Monroe, Chattanooga

LSU - North Carolina, Mcneese State, Louisiana-Monroe, West Virginia

Arkansas - Tennessee Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, Texas A&M, UTEP

South Carolina - Southern Miss, Furman, Troy, Clemson

Mississippi State - Memphis, Alcorn State, UAB, Houston

Florida - Miami Ohio, South Florida, Appalachian State, Florida State

Boy, those power conferences sure do test themselves. Only two of those teams are ranked.

Oh, and I'm in the corner of small conference schools or as you say "nut huggin" because the BCS system was designed to intentionally discriminate against those schools to horde all of the bowl/TV revenue.

Folks like Gordon Gee, Nick Saban and Les Miles are saying it with no shame that they don't want non-AQ schools playing in the national title game.

Earlier this year, Saban said no matter how well Boise State does he was not going to vote them higher than No. 3 on his ballot.

Media members have gone on record saying the powers that be in college football fear what would happen if a TCU or Boise or Utah would play in the BCS title game.

So, the Cartel is doing everything possible -- manipulating the computer formula, employing retired ADs, former college football players and media members member to vote in the Harris Poll ( even though those voting don't watch all the games and vote for the schools they once attended no matter what) or slam non-AQs SOS -- to keep teams out of the Top 2 or BCS bowl games all together.

It probably should not have come down to the field goal kicker. Boise State had things going their way in the first half. Then again Alabama did too.

Two missed field goals doom Boise State as Nevada prevails in OT

Associated Press

RENO, Nev. -- Two missed kicks, and Boise State went from being the darling of BCS busters everywhere to just another team looking for a bowl game.

After winning 24 straight games, maybe it was just not meant to be.

.....

"We had a chance to win it," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. "You play two evenly matched teams, it usually comes down to a couple of plays. It's tough; it probably shouldn't have come down to that."

In the space of one bad half, the Broncos (10-1, 6-1 Western Athletic Conference) most likely lost out on playing in any BCS bowl. On the verge of playing in a big game with a win, they likely will be relegated to the Humanitarian Bowl, played on their own blue field in Boise, Idaho, or the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco. That's good news for TCU, which was at risk of being nudged out of an automatic BCS bid by Boise State even if it completed an unbeaten season on Saturday by beating lowly Mountain West Conference rival New Mexico.

No. 19 Nevada won't get a BCS invite, either, because that is life for schools not in automatic qualifier conferences. But that didn't stop the overflow crowd at Mackay Stadium from celebrating the improbable win by its team, which was a 14-point underdog and had lost 10 straight games to Boise State.

Never seen a game end at halftime. Thats why they say play 4 qtrs.

This is probably the first time Boise States starters had to play an entire game in 2 years. In conference play, they usually on the bench with 8 minutes to go in the 3rd. Boise States defense was sucking wind the entire 4th qtr. :lol:

Oh well............... :lol:
