The thing about the story that is new is that the game is being played in September instead of October

WAC commissioner Karl Benson said Tuesday that several high-profile programs have turned down a chance to play a home game against Boise State in 2011.
Boise State — with help from ESPN, Benson said — has been shopping for a game to fill out its 2011 schedule.
Benson wasn't sure of the exact number of schools that had said no, but figured it was close to 10. The Broncos weren't asking for any games in Boise in return, he said.
"They're running into a situation where nobody will schedule them, nobody will take them," Benson said.

Bleymaier said he has struggled to find willing opponents, even when Boise State doesn't ask for a home game in return.
"We've been turned down on several occasions, even after they've sent emails out to schools saying they have this date open and are looking for a game," Bleymaier said. "We respond, and they say, 'Oh, well, no thanks.' "

this. BSU has tried to schedule a lot of BCS-level teams who turn them down when they demand to play home and home
FIFY
ETA: I beleive the quotes from the post above were just posturing by BSU. Why not say who has turned them down? Wouldn't that help Boise by putting pressure on schools who turn them down?

No...it'd burn bridges and be highly unprofessional. They aren't going to disclose who they've had contract talKs with

coming out and throwing this bullshite in the public is unprofessional enough

Boise is in the position of having to play 4 or 3 for 1's. That is so not fair to them, but its the only way people will play them. It is hard for them to schedule anyone, especially now after beating Oregon 2 in a row, and winning 2 Fiestas. Boise would take most SEC teams to the woodshed in Boise, but will never get the chance.

I think a win over Boise is actually a pretty big one at this time in the eyes of the pollsters. Its not like you're getting a win over Nevada or someone like that. A loss isnt like losing to most mid majors.

yeah that was a total assbeating, however didn't Boise's QB have a HORRIFIC game? Grant it UGA was getting good pressure, but I remember him being ridiculously bad.

zabransky got the living shite beaten out of him
he got hit so much harder than he was used to, and the D was so much faster, he had a psychological breakdown and had to go to counseling. i shite you not. UGA destroyed his confidence and psyche

Boise is going to win. People will still talk shite. Nothing will change.

Boise lost their Def Coord. to Tennessee today. I wonder if they can recover.
Posted on 2/2/10 at 6:02 pm to T1
Phil Steele has them returning 23 starters, so they should still be pretty good.

Other than UF and Bama who would have beat them in Boise this year?
And it is normally that way, they are better at home than the road.
