Thread: BOISE ST. OFFER TO PLAY ANYONE - College Football - Comcast.net Community

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by YANKEEFAN48
YAHOO HAD AN ARTICLE ABOUT BOISE ST. OFFERING TO PLAY ANYBODY, ANYWHERE, IN THE 2011 SEASON. THEY CAN'T GET A TAKER FROM ANY OF THE MAJOR CONFERENCES. WHY NOT? I'M SURE THERE MIGHT BE SCHEDULING CONFLICTS WITH SOME SCHOOLS BUT COME ON. I'VE HEARD OF FLORIDA "WRITING" IN A GAME ON THEIR SCHEDULE TO PLAY ONE OF THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS. SURELY ONE PROGRAM HAS AN OPENING TO PUT THESE "...

  Boise BCS blocked By Dan Wetzel , Yahoo! Sports Nov 7, 1:51 am EST RUSTON, La. – Is it cowardice or collusion? Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier is all but begging for a major opponent – any major opponent – to play his Broncos, particularly in 2011. He can hardly get his calls returned. Not by the SEC. Not by the Big Ten. Not by anyone. ...

Yeah I thought it a little odd no names were mentioned.  The announcers for their game were talking about how they couldn't get any takers and they didn't mention any teams by name either.  True or not it's out there now if someone wants to call their bluff.

Gutsy offer, I hope someone takes them up on it.  In a game like that Boise has nothing to lose, which makes them even more dangerous.

melviss666 replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
the Fresno State Bulldogs have the same offer going.  Cheers to both.

I'm not surprised Boise St. isn't having a press conference calling out the teams but in this day and age I can't believe teams names aren't being thrown out there a bit more.  You know, the old "my sources say x and y were two of the teams that turned them down".  The article does throw out one team with an open date but I would think there would be more discussion or speculation ...

That's easy-- we let the BCS chose them!! Just kidding,really. Howabout we take the conference champs from the:Big 10.PAC 10,SEC,ACC,Big East,MWC, WAC, C-USA,AND BIG 12.We then add the 7 teams WITH THE BEST RECORD REMAINING.To placate the BCS supporters Notre Dame ALWAYS qualifies. Any empty slots can be filled with worthy BIG 10 teams. Some are these remarks are meant to br tongue in cheek.   pomblanc103

NH,   EXACTLY,  You hit on the conundrum.   The ONLY thing I could think of is to have some sort of validated rating system.   Conceding that, the only approach I could come up with is to have an ANNUAL rating of the various polls ACCURACY. That is, to actually monitor the polls percentage of accuracy and have a group, (ie top 3 most accurate) be the ones who have the...

According to that article Nebraska has an open date with the date Boise wants to fill.  If Nebraska doesn't schedule them, they are cowards.  They can't use the "we need to schedule them years in advance" excuse.  Although in this case a 2011 game would be years in advance. And there's the other joke about this system.  Last season Utah DID schedule Michigan years in advance (as well as Oregon...

It must be awesome to be a BCS **bleep**.  You get to rig the system totally against someone else then pound your chest about how that team can't beat the rigged system. It's really no shock that Nebraska won't schedule them.  They are one of the most...

Your Auburn boys stretched out against an FCS team on Saturday, koz.  You picked a bad weekend to cast aspersions on anyone else's team or schedule. kozbee wrote: imo i didnt see much of a great team out of boise st last saturday.playing a team with 6 losses as close as it was.They were close to losing that game vs louisiana tech.

Playoffs!  24 with 8 first round byes, or 32, no byes. I'm congenial. Oh, and no regional stuff like basketball, just straight seeds & pair 'em up.

I wish someone would - so Boise could teach 'em a lesson. They seem to be for real. I wish someone would man up. Kudos to Oregon for doing so - they may have been in shambles at the beginning, but Boise sure put the hurt on them to help make sure they started they way - tough way to start. It's a shame so many schools schedule FCS opponents so often - keep those if you want, but man up once in a while and play someone like Boise. It...
