Thy loyalty for a pizza: Bronco fans turn on team

What kind of sick, sick world do we live in when Domino's pizza is all it takes to cloud our Bronco devotion? For goodness sake's, couldn't we have at least held out for Idaho Pizza Company?

Pizza, it turns out, and not even good pizza at that, is all it takes to turn a biased Bronco booster into a hardened realist. Brian Murphy is offering fans the chance to win 20 dollars worth of Domino's pizza for whoever guesses closest to the final score of the Boise State - Oregon game. And it is bringing out the worst in all of us.

The predictions are overwhelmingly favoring the Ducks. We've seen such nightmare-inducing scores like 52-17, 38-13, and 45-10, and the post hasn't even been up for 24 hours yet. Kudos to those Bronco fans who stuck with the team and picked BSU to win, but they are being sorely outnumbered. Can we get the Bronco Nation homeland security team on this?

To remedy the onslaught of Bronco doubt, we submitted the final score of Broncos 83, Oregon 0. You can't buy our loyalty with a pizza, Brian Murphy! It will take at least a Blizzard.

You gotta love the Statesman… oh wait… no you don’t.

I’m going to the game. I will be rooting my ass off for the Broncos. I will be hoping it’s not a replay of the Washington debacle. I will be preparing myself for a potential loss.

I will not, however, sell out my team for some shitty pizza.

Leave it up to the Toad to think of this. I worked at Dominos during my years of Boise State schooling. Could never understand why so many people called and ordered pizza from that place. The stories I could tell. I will join the revolt and predict a 100-0 score and it will take even more then a DQ blizzard to buy my loyalty, maybe a Quiznos Ham and Swiss, MMM Toasty.

I’m saying 215-2 BSU, with the safety coming because Kellen Moore, in his infinite mercy, decides to sit down in the endzone and allow the ducks to tackle him so they won’t feel the pain of a shutout

@ JHaberman: I don’t love the Statesman either. Also, I didn’t know you were going to the game! Be safe out there, JHabe. Send us iPhone updates if you want.

@ JTR: “MMM, Toasty.” That’s great stuff. Too bad Quizno’s is too upper crust for a Statesman contest giveaway. It’s soggy pizza or nothing.

@ BFF: I really hope you posted 215-2 on the Statesman’s board. I will buy you pizza next time you’re in Boise if you did.
