Yeah, let's see LSU back up the BCS talk and take on the Broncos. We have to deal with them every season at Tech, and I watch a lot of Boise football and can say they're legitimately pretty damn good. I just wish they'd take on some more decent OOC opponents. In-conference, they really only show themselves against Hawaii, Fresno, Nevada, and sometimes Tech (when we're not terrible like this season). I think they're underrated and can whip quite a few "big-boy" teams. Hell, I'd REALLY like to see LSU get some balls about them and play IN Boise and try to win that one! Insane crowd, crazy blue field, very high elevation, cold climate... TALK about a ridiculous home field advantage they have!

Uh, when have we not? Les hasn't lost to an OOC opponent and did you see the last 5 bowl games against "BCS opponents"? I know that Granola Bar Bowl or whatever win vs. Northern Illinois has you all pumped - even with a 3 win season - but we have backed up our talk with BCS opponents. You have a win over Miss State (last year) to hang your hat on and just because Boise beats you every year, doesn't mean we have to play the role of Lancelot and back up our Queen and challenge Boise in the name of Tech.

Yes, they can and they're not "underrated" anymore...if anything they are overrated. Look what Auburn did to y'all and look what they could do to a very injury-plagued Tech team. They thought they were Bad News Brown until they finally went somehwere worth a damn in Athens, GA a few years back (with one of their better teams and Zanbrasky) and got WAXED.

We don't have to do that...this is a business. The same business that doesn't want nearby Tech in the Indy Bowl as opposed to an SEC school because of how much money its fans will spend at hotels, restuarants, casinos, etc. Tech would "pack up" that morning and go home that night and spend an average of 30 bucks in Shreveport. The same is applied for away games. True, we'd travel well, but so would they and well...we have about 30,000 more seats than them...and well, we're a REAL top dog. They have one BCS win. And yes, they play in a rinky dink conference.

Sorry, just gotta put a Tech fan in his place sometimes.

We "back up" the BCS talk by taking on, Alabama, Florida, Tenn, Ole Miss,Arkansas, Auburn, and West Virginia. We do not need to prove anything to anyone. All the proving is needed by Boise. And scheduling a potential Top 15 team would be just dumb. No reward for beating them at all.
