Are we tired of the ND coaching search?
It was new for the past 2 times.
ND looking for a coach is a semi-decadal affair. Get on with another story.

Rece Davis.
“[Alabama is] the only team in the country that doesn’t run the spread.”
Um…. Boise and TCU BOTH both don’t run the spread. Grrrr… We’re not Cincinnati.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

For college football analysts.
That’s a pretty stupid assumption.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

Wow.
Pitt coming out strong.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

I would think
that BSU is over Cincy. They’d probably bring the same viewer rating/fans/commerce
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
I would be more worried of having to be paired up with an unranked Pitt team.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
Or...
Are they ranked still? I guess I meant they shouldn’t be,

Dwayne Harris - ECU

I can see why Keenum and Moore are friends.
Both of them shoot precision rockets. Wow.

I'm still whiping my tears away.

Pitt via the Ground and the Air.
Who would’ve thought?
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
AND special teams, lol.
This is crazy.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

Isn't that one of the first rules in Sports Broadcasting.
DON’T DRAW ON A LIVE PLAY!
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
So.
Do we see Collaros in the 2nd half?
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
can we start the broncos final game already? C'mon! GO BRONCOS!
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
13-0 for boise state
now all that has to happen is texas beats nebraska and gt beats clemson and i’m sure bsu will get a bid. i can’t wait to see tcu ply florida. if it happens. florida could not stop one rb. how are they going to stop 7 rb’s and dalton. i really hope this game happens and tcu wins by 3td’s no more tebow talk for a long time. good luck to the broncos.
yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

TCU will beat Florida
I have no doubt in my mind. Florida was exposed today. Of course, that happens when you play a good team.
definitely exposed
they could not stop ingram or mcelroy. the 7 rb’s of tcu and andy dalton are better. i just hope they match them up. i hope you guys get iowa or penn state. you would dominate either one.
yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

Why I hate the BCS
Although I grew up in Boise, I was born in Oklahoma, and I have a lot of family there. And today, I have to root for Texas. Texas! Yuck.
at least stoops brother mike beat usc so now utah can get a crack at them in the vegas bowl
usc offense stinks. they kept saying barkley was soo good until he lost the game. usc is in the bottom half of fbs scoring. oklahoma will be back. texas loses alot after this year. good luck.

If Texas loses, couldn't Boise get up to #4?
Both Texas and Florida would have to fall to 5/6, but you could conceivably have Alabama #1, TCU #2, Cincy and Boise at #3/#4 (in that order, most likely). Wouldn’t that guarantee a BCS bid for Boise?
Yes, they can move to #4
5 more likely, as Florida “played a tough game” and won’t fall that much. But a even #3 or #4 ranked Boise isn’t guaranteed anything. The #3/4 clause is only for AQ teams.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
yup, we need texas to beat nebraska.
that puts them in the NC game and keeps them from becoming an at large team knocking us out of the at large running

Nebraska's Offense
..isn’t doing their defense any favors.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
colt with two picks
one a deflection but still… settle down and play your game
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Glad it wasn't called,
but that looked like a late hit.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
ps.
Am I the only Bronco fan wanting Texas to lose?
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
I am incredibly torn
I lived in Texas for 6 years surrounded by Longhorn fans who always thought UT was the best team EVAR while boise state was bush league, which makes me hate them quite a bit. Plus you have the underdog thing for Nebraska.
On the other hand … BCS?
colt may have to do this himself
run the rock
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
this game is getting wacky
blocked punt – straight to an interception!
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Brotzman would never have those blocked.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
Nebraska!!!
Stop trying to be what you’re not!
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

Colt Mccoy Hurt?
BAD WORD
BAD WORD
BAD WORD
Sorry for that
by BSUTHROWBALLFOREVER on Dec 5, 2009 6:11 PM PST reply actions
Don't you know Colt McCoy?
He’s tough. He’ll play through anything.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
so Florida is headed to the Sugar Bowl against who?
1) TCU
2) Cincy
3) BSU
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
I would LOVE for it to be Boise.
But if Texas losses, maybe they’ll match up Florida/Texas … the NC game that would have been.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
Dennis Dodd at CBS Sports is talking about a
TCU vs BSU matchup in the Fbowl
<http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/12619023/fiesta-bowl-open-to-tcuboise-state-matchup>
I’m not a fan of that. Give us a BCS team. TCU deserves it and so do we.
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
I think it's all of CBS.
They said “the projections have TCU and BSU in the Fiesta…”
Not, “our projections” or “our hopes.” My guess it’s just CBS just trying to spin things their way. They don’t want the SEC to be humbled by either team.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

i'd hate to have to watch tim t cry again
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Finally, Texas is showing some life
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Texas 7, Nebraska 6
This is exactly why Texas shouldn’t be in the NC game even if they win. They squeak out against good defenses. Nebraska would have this game if they knew how to play call and had any type of a decent offense.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
agreed, a&m gave them all they could handle
Bama will crush them…
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
what a boring game
Texas punts Nebraska deep, Nebraska does nothing on offense and punts it back to them. This game ends 13-6.
Unless something awesome starts happening, at least ….
yawn, a pathetic showing of ineptness.
a punters battle to be sure
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
here is something new - a field goal
really mixing it up now! we might have a blow out on our hands!!!
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
wow
And Nebraska like almost matches their total offense with that runback alone. Seriously, Nebraska should just concede field goals to UT to give them the chance to get kickoff returns.
what the? a first down on a
pass play? slow down boys and get back to the ineffective run.
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Announcer:
AnnnnnnNNNNDDD that’s…
…our secoooooond…
Crowd: “First Down!”
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
weird
the Big-12 refs should really be throwing the game in favor of Nebraska, not Texas, in order to get two teams in the BCS ….
texas is trying to air it out
with no success…
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Ladies and Gentleman.
Your Heisman candidate.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
ingram - he posted the best day.
it is all about timing
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
ya
I think I’d be thinking Ingram, although with this game, it’d be your only good chance for a Defensive Heisman in quite a while if you go with Suh, which would be cool.
Ingram.
Although my vote is for Gerhart. He didn’t win games, but that is one awesome white guy.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
wow
Man, I’m starting to really want Nebraska to win now – It’s just not in me to be a tactical fan.
High five!
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
oh boy!
here comes another FG!
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Nebraska's longest rushing play today?
7…
Nice play calling, you dolts.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
this is a real nailbiter
colt is 12/25 at 100 yds – yikes!
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
they would need to get the ball inside the five -
with four running plays they might actually punch it in from there
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Im with ya Killtacular.
Im finding it very difficult , ni impossible to root for Texas right now, regardless of my obligation to do so for BSU. Im I a bad person?
wow
everyone realize here that if nebraska wins boise is most likely out of the bcs right.
#3 is showing some life
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
hmmmmm, maybe not so fast
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
colt - takes the shot
standing up
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
they keep getting into 3rd and longs
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
turnover for the huskers
it doesn’t matter though
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
C'mon
Texas just wants to let them hang close. If they don’t watch out it is going to bit them in the a$$
I believe all Viking fans must be masochistic!!
You do realize...
Boise can still make it in. Why are we assuming the Big 10 gets an at-large over Boise in the Fiesta? Texas – Boise… a good game.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
Is it really that bad
if Nebraska wins? Think long term: If Texas wns, it shows the BCS system “works”: hey, two non-AQ teams got in! TCU almost played for the national championship! The system works!
Alternatively, undefeated BSU gets shut out, even though Oregon goes: recipe for more anti-trust pressure against the NCAA, which is the only thing that will ever really change the system. Plus BSU will still start next season in the top 5 or so, everyone will talk about how we got screwed this year, and we have a decent chance at the NC game next year if we win out, which is way better than a BCS game against Iowa.
FIELD GOAL RANGE!!!!!
:d
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
#3 goes down to Field Goals?!?
LMAO
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Man this could sure throw a monkey wrench into the BCS works.....LOL
I believe all Viking fans must be masochistic!!
Even if Texas loses....
I don’t see how they could leave BSU out of the dance. We will be ranked # 4 or 5 after this weekend, how can they leave that high of a ranked team out of the BCS????
I believe all Viking fans must be masochistic!!
same way they did last year
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
last year we were # 9...this year # 4 or 5 after this weekend.
I believe all Viking fans must be masochistic!!
Nebraska FG
BADWORD!

horse collar on shipley
ouch
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
burning lots of time here

you've got to be kidding me
les miles? are you watching?
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Ridiculous
That was too close.
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
not so boring right now, eh?
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
this is just stupid
#3? really?
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Either Neb. has a really good D or Texas ain't all that and a bag of chips
I believe all Viking fans must be masochistic!!
Collective sigh of relief
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
That game and ending was ridiculous
zero style points for TX
"We do not take counsel of our fears, our naysayers, or the unknown" Coach Pete 1-1-07
Lucky for them they don't need style points.
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
i have no words
that was awesome. . it really sux that even after we go undefeated that our bcs chances still rely on other teams.
heh
i was happy to see another game on espn2 then i turned over just in time to see the rainbows throw an int. to bad.
THANK YOU TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are going to the Fiesta Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
you hearing this
all the talk on sportscenter and on the net is that tcu vs bsu fiesta, what a shame.
TCU-BSU, Fiesta bowl???
I would have preferred a Nebraska win followed by resounding national outcry and a major BCS upheaval.
I don't know about that
I was/am hoping they pair us against Iowa and TCU vs GT and then we would have a good possiblilty of two non aq teams getting two wins. The pair between us would mean nothing as far as the outcry of the little guys.
The irony of it is...
Nebraska’s awesome D-Lineman (whose name I can’t pronounce, spell, or remember) is the one that lost the game for them. On that last throw, Colt McCoy was in no hurry to get rid of the ball, until the Nebraska guy rushed him. If the Nebraska guy had waited even a half a second more, McCoy’s throw would have been too close to be overturned…
Mack Brown has been watching too much LSU football.
"Well, we'll just have to get to know each other a little better then. I like Ferris wheels, college football, and anything that goes more than 200 miles an hour."
absolutley
I completely agree but Mark May as always knows absolutley nothing about football, he made a comment that Muschamp (texas’s d coordinater) would of been the next head coach if they would of lost that game. As poor of clock management that was Mack Brown is a great coach.
His name is Ndumakong Suh.
I had not thought of that but that is very ironic.
