" Right,

Great call on Iowa and Ohio State. They were certainly beaten up in their bowl games! "

" BSU is highly overrated! You should have tried somewhere else. There are plenty of excellent schools with lower tuition, and tons better academics. Don't jump on their bandwagon and pay more because they can't get over the Fiesta Bowl win. Way over-hyped. Look into somehwere else, like Eastern Oregon. "

" Nice to see a 2-loss team walk right into the Rose Bowl! Hahaha! You know why? Because they PROVE they are good! Nice try Bronco boy and your Heisman dreams. No respect with a schedule like that! You played Tulsa, right? Aren't they good? NOT! "

" After getting lost in the Or Vs BSU for awhile, the Article is actually about the Heisman. Moore has certainly put up huge numbers, and leads in accuracy, which is pretty good at level in D1, but he'll have another year or two of football, so most likely will go to one of the bigger names. Maybe BSU can buy some ad space on times square, how much did that cost?
It doesn't really matter, Heisman is just a greek word for, won't make it in the NFL, like most before him.
Now as far as BSU and should they be number 6 in the BCS, it was the BCS system that has them there, so if you don't like their ranking, complain about the system rather than the team. "

" Do you know what I wish? I wish that my kid, who's paying over $12,000 a year to attend Boise State, had a live teacher and a classroom for his math and freshman English classes, but high enrollment has "forced" the faculty to offer sections of those courses online only, in order to meet the demand. I understand that having athletic teams adds to the campus experience, but B.S.U. is way out of balance on what they spend for athletics vs what they spend for academics. I think it's time the administration looked around and said, "What is the purpose of a state-funded university, anyway?" I'm sending my kid there to be challenged and to learn from well-trained individuals. If he wanted to do online education, he could have done that at home. This whole Bronco Pride Hullaballoo just burns me up. I'd rather see the money spent on a math expert than an offensive line coach anyday. "

" i am a duck fan and to be honest i am not a boise st. fan,but that doesn't mean i do not want good things for them in fact i would like them to move to a different conference (pac-10 or mtn. west)they have out grown the wac.i cannot see a time when boise st. won't be the conference champ furthermore no one and i mean no one can challenge coach petersens (hope i spelled this correctly) ability to get the job done.
that being said one has to wonder how well boise st. would do in a tougher conference.in the pac-10 they would end the season with six to eight wins.this is just my opinion. "

" U gonna cry cuz i used tard? Sorry, didn't mean to offend you, how about idiot then? You played D1 football and probably would have gone pro? Ha ha I bet and I would be in the NBA if i was 7 feet tall and would be in MLB if I threw a 97 mph fastball....bottom line is you didn't, aren't, or whatever. Obviously just because you played D1 football doesn't mean you have a clue. Your SEC comment speaks volumes about your football knowledge. Let me guess, you are some big lineman from Weiser or Vale? Just because you are 6'6", 300 lbs and can clog a whole doesn't mean you have a clue about football.

Crazyhorse...good for you! You can recite the bible that was translated from Hebrew 2000 years ago. Pretty sure they weren't to worried about grammatical errors...You're the guy that believes that a mortal man walked on water, died and was resurrected, was responsible for Noah putting all the animals on his Ark, and you call me a fool? Ha ha ha.... "

" Too the tool shed fool...

I'm not saying the SEC is bad. I'm saying you can't say they are the toughest conference out there, when the bottom 3 or 4 teams are just terrible. The toughest conference should be tough, top to bottom. You disparaging comments show that you truly are a pathetic person. Using words like "tard" is very offensive.

Really you played football with A.J. Feeley, wow that makes you the most impressive person in America when it comes to football knowledge . . .

I guess because I played D1 football and probably would have gone pro, except for a knee blowout means nothing. "

" Ok toolshed.

You have two graduate degrees and you are still not smart enough to see that the winning team is better. My graduate degrees aren't from Poorly-dressed Waterfowl U, but I am smart enough to know that the team with the most points at the end of 2 consecutive games is the better team and the better program no matter how much money the loser has or how many ugly uniform combinations they can put on or who else they played during the two seasons. Why can't you learn this concept. I didn't know that IEP's carried forward to grad school but obviously in Duck land they do. Your learning disability seems to be extremely crippling. You have my sympathy. "

" You are an idiot. Boise state in the PAC ten. What other sports. Did they build a real stadium there. Nice one Eli "

crazyhorse wrote on Dec 2, 2009 8:01 AM:

" It took you two graduate degrees from Oregon to learn to call people childish names? Your overly angry responses to legitimate discussions suggest that it may be healthy for you to seek some professional help. BSU does amazingly well with the scraps that the self-annointed BCS conferences have left on the table. The BCS was never anything but a tool to perpetuate the standing of the "major" conferences, and give them recruiting and monetary advantages to keep them there. Does Washington State deserve those automatic advantages and big payouts? Why shouldn't BSU go for the $3 mil they would get at the Fiesta? Do you really think they would turn down an opportunity to play in the MWC or the Pac-10? Boise at least has an airport. Can you understand that you are the dark side in this argument? Use a civil rights metaphor--Who are the plantation owners and who are the slaves? "

Crazyhorse is a FOOL wrote on Dec 1, 2009 9:03 PM:

" Really the name here is all that needs to be said, but for fun, why not say a few other things. BSU and their schedule is pathetic. They deserve no respect because they haven't proved anything other than they can beat Oregon. Big deal. It's Oregon. They rise to the top, and fall below the surface...... It happens time and time again for Oregon. However, Oregon can walk into the BCS with one loss because they prove that they can win when it matters.....against top football programs. And you're right Out West, most of the teams BSU plays are good prep football programs at best, nothing better. So why would the QB deserve the Heisman with that? There's no substance there. Go to the Mountain West, run with BYU and Utah for the next decade, develop into something worth everyone's time, and then come back to say you deserve respect. "

" crazywhore....Guaranteed my educational prowess and vocabulary far exceeds yours. Obviously you didn't get past 8th grade...didn't your English teacher tell you never to start a sentence with And? You did it twice... Post your locale on here so I can come to your house and shove my 2 graduates degrees so far up your ignorant azz that people will read "MBA" everytime you open your foolish mouth. To the total toolshed that thinks the SEC is a "joke", you just validated the fact that YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Why does the SEC put more players in the NFL than any other conference? Because they are a joke, right? I played high school football with AJ Feeley, graduated from Oregon, and was there when we got screwed out of a national championship game in 2001 with Piano Man. I forgot more about football they you will ever know. Oregon will beat the barkrats. I am a Duck for life but the SEC is the best conference and if you can't see that then you obviously have no clue about anything. No reason to continue this argument because if you think the SEC is a joke, then you truly are a 'tard. "

" Crazyhorse you are not real bright are you? You also don't know much about football. App State beat Michigan who then proceeded to go 3-8. App State played for the National championship in FCS. App State was better than Michigan. It was not a fluke. You used a really dumb example. Also football is not basketball or baseball or any other sport where one player getting hot can change the outcome of one game. Teams in the Wac besides BSU have played and beaten other teams from the supposed power conferences this season as well. Some have also lost those games. But they didn't lose as badly to the elites as they did to the Broncos. Florida and Alabama and Texas have it very hard when they play the likes of Vanderbilt and Mississippi State and Baylor and Colorado every year. There are bottom feeders in every conference. Everyone has off weeks in their schedules. Is the WAC strong top to bottom? No. Is any other conference in the country? No. I would even go out on a limb and say that the WAC is as good as either the Big East or the ACC both of which get automatic bids. So tell me who has Cincinnatti played that is any better than who BSU has played, and yet there is no controversy about them getting a BCS invite. Face it, you can hate all you want to, but it doesn't make it right. No one likes to be beaten by an upstart. It might be a fluke once, but twice in a row eliminates the fluke argument. Attempting to verbally marginalize an opponent that you can't beat on the field really smacks of small-minded stupidity. I would think that the Broncos doing well would bolster your chosen team since they were beaten by one of the best. By the way, Boise State will join the Mtn. West, the PAC-10, the Big 12 or any of the elites as soon as they are given the opportunity. Don't hold your breath. Those conferences are not going to share their revenue or prestige with a superior program when they still have idiot fans like you who are willing to believe that the program is still inferior. Oregon will beat Oregon State and go to the Rose bowl and beat an overrated Ohio State team. The Broncos will go to the Fiesta Bowl and destroy a very overrated Iowa team. Sorry crazyhorse but the only proof of which of these teams is better will be that 19-8 game in September. Deal with it. "

" OK, its reality check time. The NCAA creates divisions, usually by location. Boise is in the WAC because of location. It makes the most sense for them. The big problem is the so called good teams won't come to Boise and play. They have no up side to coming and playing. Oregon State, Oregon should be commended for being willing to come and play BSU. Their problem is they look down there noses at BSU and don't prepare, even when it is a revenge game. BSU prepares every week for whoever it is they play. That is why they deserve to be where they are at. Look at these PAC 10, Big 10, Big 12, and SEC schools that don't always show up for the so called easy games. Showing up every week is part of the game. You don't get time off because you are playing an "easy" team.

The SEC is a joke, every other team in the conference is a joke, when the SEC get as tough as the BIG 10 from top to bottom, then they can say they are the toughest conference in the league. But when you know that the top 3 teams have absolutely no chance of losing to the bottom 3 teams, then that conference is not tough. The PAC 10 and BIG 10 are the toughest conferences by far. Don't look at the top 2 or 3 teams in a conference, look at the conference top to bottom to make that determination.

For all you Oregon people, let's compare something, maybe you can grasp. The GOL is by far a weaker conference in Oregon, yet Ontario is a good team, should they be denied a chance to compete for a State title because they are out of the weak GOL? No and neither should any team that is a Division 1 NCAA team. "

" It's easy, clown. Don't read them. And try to improve your middle school vocabulary. Too bad the slice of the pie didn't fall your way. And it appears that the BCS, voting BSU 6th (right where they should be, by the way) doesn't agree with you either. I never said they were better than the top three, just better than Oregon. Good luck against the Beavs. "

" im tired of reading your postings. You analyze things using 1 example....a small slice of the pie. App St. beat Michigan. University of portland basketball team just beat the ucla and minnesota. Does it mean that they are better? No. Sometimes teams get lucky, plain and simple. Put BSU in the pac 10, big 12, Big 10, or sec and they go 6-6 at best. Bottom line we are tired of hearing how good they think they are....they beat oregon...so what? Who else did they beat that is a powerhouse??? Nobody...you wanna talk about a run...texas is 11-0 in the big 12 and Alabama and Florida are undefeated in the best conference in college football. Bottom line is BSU doesnt have a schedule...they shouldnt even be in the top 10. That is why we hate all you idiot donkey fans... you have no clue about football....all you see is donkey blue and orange on that ugly azz turf. Play decent teams consistently for a whole season and then see where they are...they are a good program for a small market team, don't get me wrong but for you to use 1 example...it's ridiculous. BSU is the best team in the wac, hands down. they have been for the past 5 years...but the wac is just that...wac. Its jv football. Sometimes teams get lucky....that is why they play the game retard.

Nice Kid wrote on Nov 30, 2009 3:09 PM:

" I have spent a little time with Kellen Moore, and he is a different kind of quarterback. A different kind of football player, for that matter. Although dedicated to the sport, he is able to make friends outside the sport. He's academically motivated, and, I expect, will actually graduate on schedule. Whether he makes it onto the high list for the Heisman or not, the guy has character and determination that will carry him through life. As for the part about not being "good enough" to be considered for the Heisman, did you miss the part about "nation's leader in passing efficiency?" He'll be considered. "

crazyhorse wrote on Nov 30, 2009 10:57 AM:

" Hey Out West. Against Oregon, Moore was 19 of 29 for 197 yards, a TD, and 0 interceptions. Masoli threw for 121 with an int. and rushed for a mighty 14 yards. But then I guess you are saying that playing against Oregon is not real football? "

" Ok BSU hater. When you can spell your quarterback's name, then you can promote him for the Heisman. I think that God would appreciate you typing His name correctly as well. Thanks for making my point! What did one of you mouth-breathers say about "true fans?" I think a "true fan" would learn the QB's name. Oh, did the "Funny-dressing Water foul" leave their defense home in September and against Stanford too? "

Don't confuse me with fans of either of the Oregon schools who are playing for the PAC-10 championship but would both finish 2nd in the WAC. No matter who the Broncos played, they beat them. Ducks and Beavers can't say that. Although, I think the Flat-tailed Rodents played a tougher schedule than the Patos. "
