BSU hater wrote on Nov 5, 2009 12:54 PM:

" Until BSU schedules more than one ranked opponent (outside of the WAC) they will never be taken seriously. We know they beat the Ducks, but who else? Look what the Ducks have done since, and that is because they don't play a powder-puff schedule, they paly in the Pac-10. You know USC,both Arizona schools and so on. I'm not saying BSU doesn't deserve a shot, but another BIG game right in the middle of the season would give all of you BSU fans a little extra ammo. But for now just complain and throw around, "we beat the Ducks" while the Ducks will play in a better bowl game agaisnt a better team than BSU. Also, the Ducks sellout at home, what about the Broncos? "

" Those that say the BSU win over the Dux was a fluke are misguided. Credit where it's due: BSU played great defense that night. They did something the much ballyhooed USC defense couldn't do. They completely shut Jeremiah Masoli out.

That said, for all the talk of a winning tradition at BSU, the fact remains they are almost invincible at home, and almost invisible when they have to go into an opponents' stadium. One win in the stadium of a BCS conference team, and one win on a neutral site do not a tradition make.

Gene Bleymeyer should be commended for building a heck of a homer program. He should be condemned at the same time for his insistence on not agreeing to play major teams unless he can get a home and home series.

There's a reason why Fresno St. gets more national respect than BSU, even though they haven't beaten BSU since who knows when. It's because Pat Hill is willing to play anyone on any field anytime. You want to build a real tradition, play people in their own back yard. If BSU and TCU finish undefeated, TCU will get the BCS game, not because there's a bias against BSU, but because TCU played and beat someone, while BSU won an impressive opening night against a team that hadn't quite found its (webbed) feet yet.

I for one am very tired of hearing BSU fans whine about bias against their program. You wanna be considered one of the big dogs, go pee in the tall weeds with the other big dogs. But stop complaining about perception when your program goes out of its way to perpetuate that perception. "

" You might be the biggest idiot that posts on here. Donkey U and the Ducks AD's decided to play each other about 5 years ago...they pick their schedule 3/4 years out...it has nothing to do with not wanting to play them. Ben Franklin once said "it is wiser to keep your mouth shut and appear to be an idiot than to open your mouth and validate the assumption". Couldn't agree more with Ben on this one. Crazyhorse, you are the idiot... "

" I attended my first Bronco game in 1970. Any of you smack talkers been alive that long? I was with them when they were a Division 2 school called BSC. They were a regular feature in the Camilia Bowl that was the division 2 championship. I was there when they won the 1AA national championship in 1980. I was around when they made the leap to D1A in the 90's. And I've seen the program grow and go sailing past most of the old "established" programs. Boise State has always had a tradition of excellence in football. I have always been a proud fan of that tradition. I carry my BSU diploma proudly. What school did you graduate from "Laughing"? My guess would be some middle school here in the area would be your highest educational feat. "

" I couldnt agree with "Out West" more! The reason you cant find a "lifelong Bronco fan" is that there arent any. Ask any bronc fan how long they have been a fan and you will always get the same answer. "Oh, I have been a fan forever"! Funny, I didnt remember forever only being the past 2 years. Anyone remember the Fiesta Bowl? Anyone? God knows the local stations wont let us forget. "

" Hahaha listen to all you BSU bandwagoners. I remember the days when there wasn't even a billboard for the Broncos....in Boise! Where are all the true fans? That's right, a couple of "fluke" wins and everybody is a fan. Everybody knows the Ducks beat themselves that night. Boise St. doesn't deserve to be anywhere close to the Top 10. Pathetic schedule for a national comparison. "

crazyhorse wrote on Oct 23, 2009 7:33 AM:

" And while your at it, look up the date of the next Oregon-Boise State game. Oh, Oregon doesn't want to play the Broncos anymore? Go figure. "

Wow wrote on Oct 22, 2009 1:26 PM:

" OK Bronco haters, I'm typing slowly so that perhaps even you can understand. If you want the Broncos to go away, put a team on the field that will beat them. The teams that they are playing can't do that and the ones that you "say" can beat them won't play them. Georgia was used as an example. That was 5 years ago. When is the Georgia vs BSU game in Boise being played? Look that one up for me and let me know. How would Georgia do against the Broncos this year? Do you get the different year thing? Oregon is now ranked near the top 10 again. They are the weakest team BSU has played this year based on their performance on the field. Why? If they can't beat BSU they shouldn't even be allowed to keep their program according to you mouth-breathers. The WAC is not a particularly strong league, top to bottom, in football. Neither is the ACC, Big Least, Big Ten or the Big 12 North. Why are crappy teams from those leagues, who's schedules are no tougher than Boise's, more qualified to be in a BCS game than the Broncos? I'd like some of you geniuses to answer that question. But what I'll get in return is a bunch of poorly written insults with no factual merit or relevance to the argument. "

" I can't stand all you Donkey fans. Face the reality that the donkeys schedule is weeaakkkk and will never be considered a powerhouse!!! Remember when the donkeys decided to play a powerhouse "Georgia" and got their as..s kicked.

I can't wait to see the donkeys get their butts handed to them in a BCS game. This way the BCS will never consider them for one of their bowl games in future yearw regardless if they go undefeated. "

" BSU is undefeated in the Pac-10 this year and last thanks to the pathetic Ducks. Tell us what they would be when someone from the Pac-10 actually beats them on the field because anything else is just some Homer's opinion and opinions are not worth the breath it takes to speak them or the ink it takes to write them. Beat the Broncos and then talk. Until then, all your hatred just sounds petty and stupid. "

wakeup wrote on Oct 22, 2009 1:20 AM:

" Yeah, Boise State hasn't proven they can beat a pac-10 school have they??? Big schools won't play Boise State. It's too much of a risk. Come to boise state and not make as much as a bigger college with a larger stadium. Then if you happen to loose, kiss any chance of a decent season down the toilet! Boise state just needs to expand their stadium more than they are already planning. Build it and they will come! "

" The Vandals have not played a team with a winning season this year. They are unfortunately about to embark on the toughest part of their season. The will not be at the top of the WAC much longer.
On the Blue they won't have a prayer to win. "

" Both Florida and Texas were playing at home, also. BSU will play anybody who will schedule home and home. The big boys are afraid to come here. "

" Tulsa is in Conference USA, not the WAC--I "looked it up."

It will be interesting to see how Tulsa competes against their CUSA foe Houston in the not-too-distant future. That should be a good measurement of how good Tulsa is, because Houston is a very solid team.

I think Boise St. is gonna be just fine. Even in their magical 2006 season, they had a couple of nail biters (San Jose St. by 3, Wyoming by 7). "

Denise wrote on Oct 18, 2009 8:34 AM:

" While I agree that Boise's schedule needs to include tougher opponents...it's truly a fact that on any given day, any non-ranked team can take out a top-ranked team. Did you happen to see 3 very close games yesterday around the nation? If you did not, here's the lowdown on the #1 Florida Gators: They barely squeaked by Arkansas. And the #3 Texas didn't look like a #3 team when they were playing Oklahoma and barely got that win either. Points made. "
