Here is a picture from halftime at the Rice/Texas football game. Rice's band is known as the MOB - Marching Owl Band. They are more about comedy than the music. They are a lot like Stanford.
Their announcer begins the show "And now, as not seen on the Longhorn Network, the MARCHING OWLS BAND." They immediately made a reference to dealing with the devil and went into this formation.
It's times like this that I miss our old SWC rivalries.

I agree with your assessment 100% ...
My point was, they are better than a No Body school that may come in and knock someone off.
I am hoping I'm wrong, but I see Toledo to give Ohio State all they can handle next week and possibly beat them.
No way! Are you hungover?
Nope.
Feeling just fine.
Tlledo has a pretty good team and OSU is just starting to find themselves with all the BS thats happened this year.
Toledo has a Reputation of knocking off Big Ten teams.
Michigan (13-10), Penn State (24-6), Purdue, Minnesota ..... I don't think they won all these games but were in it to the end with all of them.
I KNOW they beat Michigan and Penn State.
No if anything is BS its nearly all of that including that last jab.... Sure Vt lost to JMU, but no matter how people want to ignore the reasons they are there. Poor scheduling on the coaches part for starters, 2 days to prepare, etc etc.. JMU like Boise St had ALL YEAR to prepare for that game they played against VT just as Boise did for Georgia and Georgia has other things on their minds which the QB said even at a press meeting after the game they were focused on SEC play... your saying BS and even the players are saying thats what they were focused on. Nobody wants to lose to Boise St by no means or even a 1AA team.. but it happens. I'm not saying Boise st isn't a good team they are, but they CAN NOT do it week to week against these other big teams. Their schedule left is horrible with NOBODY really left but I'm sure they will trip up at some point. Any team can be ranked on any givin saturday too by the way...so even though Nevada was it didn't mean much for their season.
and VT's season was so much better in the crap that we called the ACC football last year?
Sorry, but excuses are just that, excuses.
A loss is a loss, deal with it. Virginia Tech and Georgia lost for 1 reason, and the reason was that Boise St. was a better team.

I'm not sure I agree with you, but you could be right. I will say this though, Kellen Moore could play for any team, he is a great college quarterback.
As to the point i was making earlier, if ESPN and NBC still want to tell us the Notre Dame is still a national power, than so is Boise State. They have a better roster and have for years.
They haven't been for a while. But they do have one of the true national followings, and in doing so make money for NBC.
Few teams (outside the academies) have the kind of national following the irish have.
Now I'm going to go shower after giving credit to notre dame...
Boise had all year to prepare? So did GA and so did VTech.. Whats the point? Do I think Boise is a great team? I do believe they are on the sae level as a team like GA is in the SEC though. A 2-3 loss SEC conference team. Of course GA this year is playing a weak SEC run, so they may very well only lose 2 conference games this year. VTECH is also in that same level.
sure its a loss..and I do deal with it. However it was last year and for some reason people keep bringing it up so I'll keep defending it.
I do think Boise is a good team..but they can't do it week in and week out... GA and VT both had all year to prepare for not only this game but other large games against harder conference foes vs Boise St whom don't play much more than FCS teams all year...that's my point. When you have to prepare for all these games for a whole season in conditioning for just that you tend to focus more on the long term vs in Boise's case they don't have to. Move their ass to a larger conference with or without Kellen Moore and they wouldn't make it past 2week two without players having injuries and just pure being worn out - its something called Recruiting and these other teams do it better.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not trying to sit here and defend VT a team I pull for hands down...but I see the whole big picture here and I see exactly what happened to GA also from last night. Their QB said it right after the game they were focused on SEC play coming up even before the Boise St game..they felt Boise would be a push over just as VT did...they both thought wrong and got beat. At least in VT's case it was last year and its a new season...bigger hopes but with GA they will just have to do what VT did last year and just put it behind them and win... Boise St just became GA's biggest fan!

Then they should lose if they are looking ahead instead of the team they are going to play.
Ok, as a gator fan, would Boise, in your opinion, with their team, have accomplished the same as the Gators, playing the Gator schedule for the past say, 5 years.
I say, no way, no how.
To be fair, I think you were the first to bring up VT and their loss in the discussion after Boise beat Georgia.
Great
I wonder if they will ever make this game official, 1 team is not agreeing with the other to make it official from what I heard last, and they are trailing what 34-13.
edit: I see they have made it official now.
I think Boise State is a more physical team than the Oregon Ducks. Heck,I didn't even that Boise State played on blue turf until 2-3 years ago. More people know who Boise State are & they may help them to recruit the bigger physical players needed to play against the bigger conferences. Boise State reminds me of the Colorado Buffaloes during the early nineties when they started winning. I wonder,is Boise State not allowed to wear all blue at home period,or just when they play their conference rivals(can't wear all blue uniforms)?
