re: Would You Like to play Boise St.?

I would like to point out something about Boise St. Isn't funny how they always start off the year against a major team. They have all off season to prepare for them. It is usually their biggest game of the year. This year was Va Tech and they nearly lost that game. Tech turns around and loses to James Madison the following week.

For arguments sake Tech was probably flat and deflated over losing to Boise and just went through the motions with JMU. JMU surprised them. Bottom line Va Tech is over rated IMHO.

So Boise beats an over rated Va Tech team to open the year like they beat Oregon last year to open the year. They get motivated for those big games. Just like the bowl game against Oklahoma. There is a trend here that some of you need to look at.

When Boise has time to prepare for a team they do really well when playing them. Call it good coaching, or over acheiving or whatever. You have to hand them credit for being up to the challenge though. This said they are going to play well against anybody in a bowl game. They will have time to prepare for it. Also they dont have a rough schedule or the usual injuries that teams from the SEC sustain from their brutal schedules.

What I want to see is Boise play an SEC team mid season. Lets see how they stack up when they only have a week to get ready. This is the real test of a team IMHO. Until they do this I won't ever acknowledge them as legitimate contenders. They are just a feel good story for some. Ok your thoughts please.
