Thank you BCS from taking me from complete euphoria to utter dispair. Kind of like the exact opposite of the last time we were there.

I had some elaborate plan to get every BSU fan to stamp their money so that the BCS and the people of Arizona would know how well we travel.
I’m boycotting the BCS. This is such a pleasure and disrespect at the same time.
We are both too good to be playing each other. The Sugar Bowl is too scared that Tebow would get blown out his last game.
I’m in a sad state of affairs.

They won’t let us or TCU play with the big boys…………………

“The big money bowl for little people to go play in nicely by themselves”

BAD WORDS indeed.

TCU deserves a shot at bigger fish, as do we. Rematching the Poinsettia is no prize for either team.

I never in my life thought that I could be disappointed by a BCS trip. BAD WORDS the BCS and BAD WORDS to Mark “BAD WORDS” May… I hope he dies in a BAD WORDS hotel in BAD WORDS Thailand in a compromising BAD WORDS situation and it’s broadcast on every BAD WORDS network more than that kid in the fake air balloon. BAD WORDS.

I can think of nothing better to get the bad taste out of my mouth, then to beat TCU. We still get BCS money and take on an Undefeated team that people think are better than BSU. Oh we will be the underdogs and all the ESPN type people will be on the bandwagon.

wake me when it’s over

Not alot for us to play for in this.

Were lucky we even get invited! TCU was 1 second away from playing for the national championship. They have stole the lime light from us all year so what better way to prove ourselfs than kicking there ass! You would rather play a 2 loss Iowa, thats just retarded! This is a premier matchup thats gonna be a tough game. It was Iowa or TCU, im glad that we get the tougher matchup!

But is this interview with McCoy and Shipley not the most hilarious thing you’ve seen all day? The vacant look on Shipley’s face is priceless.

We are the team that get’s to play the Cinderella team in the Fiesta Bowl. Lets get over it and enjoy what it is now!

This is such a bunch of crap.

I would like to see the teams and/or fans boycott, but that probably means that all the critics get to point and say, “See, that is why we don’t include you guys”. Self-fulfilling prophecy of the BCS.

This is absolute crap.

Boycotting the game. I’m astonished and appalled at what the BCS has done. Let’s take last years best non-BCS game and turn it into a BCS game so there is no possibility of 2 non-BCS teams winning…those BAD WORD BAD WORD BAD WORD excuse for a coward if anything… give me a break.

the fiesta bowl officials rolled under the pressure. the bcs bigwigs must be laughing their asses off at this coup. they allowed two at-large teams into their party without the possibility of having one (or two) of their ‘fair-haired boys’ being embarrassed by non-aqs schools. what a crock. they’ve fired up their big cigars and are toasting each other with glasses of high dollar scotch. they figured out a way to screw two great programs by forcing them to play each other.

and that we will get our act together and out-fan TCU at this game. i am pissed too, but it is a bcs game and we are both undefeated. lets rally the troops.

Seriously. The BCS is jobbing both my beloved Broncos and the Horned Froggies. I’d say that BSU should decline the game, but I have a better idea. Both teams should accept the game. Then both shouldn’t even show up for the game. Or…show up but refuse to play. That way the BCS can’t re-select 2 BCS conference teams to play. Royally shaft the BCS retards. God…I was all excited that we made the BCS again, but now I feel like I got screwed and didn’t get a courtesy reach-around. It makes me glad that I won’t be able to watch the game this year. I’ll be on the way to Germany…thank God.

Again…I say both teams decline/accept-but-refuse-to-play the BCS bowl.

Let me tell you. This is a total cop out for the BCS. They have been telling the Non-BCS teams that if they want respect they have to beat the Big Boys, meaning the tops of the BCS conferences. They know that Boise State and TCU would beat an Iowa, Cincinati, GT etc. but they do not want to be down 1-5 in BCS bowls against a supposedly inferior foe. So how do they get out of it? Simple solution for them, put them together in a bowl, problem solved. Don’t get me wrong I am happy that BSU is going to the Fiesta Bowl and TCU is really BAD WORDS good. But it seems to me that besides the big bowl money this is a lose-lose situation for both teams. What do they prove and how do they “Bust” the BCS without even playing “The BCS”? I am still excited for the game but just not as excited. Here is to Kicking the BAD WORDS out of the Horned Frogs!

I am not excited about the matchup. Not because TCU is not a good match up. In fact we may be getting the best team in the nation. Others in this post have echoed my thoughts about why Iowa, Florida, Penn State…. would have been better for the program. However, the truth is this will be a great matchup, and I will be going to Arizona to support our Broncos. The BCS doesn’t deserve us to show up en masse, but our team does. Go Broncos. See you in Glendale.

It sucks for both teams, but at least we will have a chance to right a wrong from last year and make more money doing it.

I’m trying to be positive here.

it isnt what we wanted, doesn’t mean we shouldnt support our Broncos. We need to take everyone. Everyone! Lets not forget that how we travel to this game could effect next year. Ive got my tickets. Support our Team! If we dont show up it will just be turned into a lack of support from our fanbase.

Fiesta bowl bound!

the current line is tcu-3.5 pts and the over/under is 52 so somethings gotta give, vegas expects it to be close and high scoring, which is contradicting because tcu’s defense is very very good, and boise offense is very very good. so very interesting here my bet would be Broncos +3.5 and the over 52 final should be round 31-27 Boise.

No win for Boise
Boise wins, TCU looks weak and overrated (which I wouldn’t care, Boise won). Boise loses, Boise doesn’t play a tough enough schedule to get another BCS game. One trick ponies.

Possible win for TCU
TCU loses, TCU is overrated (They lost to Boise State for crying out loud, four letter network experts). TCU wins big, they didn’t deserve to be matched up against Boise. TCU wins by a little, TCU is overrated (Boise was lucky enough to keep it that close).

Hey BCS, look over here. Boise State fans can act just like the “big boy” fans too (a la, we didn’t get to the NTG, so we have nothing to play for)

These BCS bullies think they are so smart, they think that we will grin and bear it as we finish out the year. Im with BSUflyboy, we should make history and demand justice by refusing to show up.

Do I feel like TCU should be playing Florida, if not Alabama? Yes.

Do I feel like this is a way to marginalize non-AQ conferences? Yes.

Do I want a playoff? Yes.

Still, Boise St. is my team. They’ve worked hard for my enjoyment. Therefore, I’m going, even though that TCU team sure looks tough. Win or lose in January, they gave me a great season. Power conference money aside, they gave me a great season. All the negatives and let downs the system gives, they gave me a great season. They sacrificed their time and their bodies — some have suffered injuries that will probably never truly heal back the way it was before the season started.

I have enough money to fly out to PHX, get a hotel and car. For everything they’ve given me over the course of this season and previous seasons, I’m going to spend my money to go and root for my team. Hope to see you all there.

Go! Orange! Go Big Blue! Fight! Fight! B-S-U!

snubbed last year by not receiving a bcs bowl invitation despite an undefeated regular season.

snubbed this year by receiving a bcs bowl invitation but facing another non-bcs school.

Maybe something similar to what we are saying. Remember the outcome? This is going to be a big game. It’s time to get excited! Think about what a win will set up for next year! This is going to be fun!

I can hear the Nelson Muntz that is the BCS “Haw Hawing” at sticking the two non-AQs together in one game like some mini-conference title game. This also would hurt the rumored “Boise State to MWC to gain AQ status” expansion since essentially two MWC teams will be getting together to hurt their final rankings.

Best of luck to Boise, I’m sure you’ll give TCU a much better game than Florida or Georgia Tech would’ve.

BAD WORDS

ON ESPN, ….LESS THAN 5 MIN FROM NOW!

Our players are, and our fanbase should be as well. We play the #4 team in the nation on Jan 4. Get to Glendale!!

TCU should be playin against Florida to show what they can really do. Im glad we are in a BCS game.. Just wish we were playing a Big 10 school to show we could play with them and all the BIG conferences are overrated. All of them. TCU and Boise St. could have shown they are better than the 2nd best team in each conference.

As far as the game goes..

- Doug Martin will have a better chance of running against theyre D then Ian Johnson did.
- Pettis better get healthy.
-Titus Young is in this game giving us a better deep threat then Vinny Perreta.
- Kellen Moore is much more expierienced.
- So is the Offensive line.

Im still going and hope people will come around and go even though this isn’t what we planned.

1. Revenge is very sweet, I hate not being the best non-aq team.

2. Listen to the press, they are all hyping TCU as the 3rd best team, we get a shot to beat em.

3. The MWC hates this, if we win they will have to invite us to have that BCS auto birth

I have my game seats, room, and flight booked. I WILL be there for my team. We got what we asked for. We need to earn the rest.

Sadly, I will be missing this BCS trip. My first child is due on the day after the game. Bad timing on my part, I know.

As for the game, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more happy and disappointed all at once ever in my life. I am absolutely ECSTATIC for the players, program, etc. To be the first non-AQ team to get an at-large selection is a HUGE deal. I am absolutely PROUD to be a Bronco.

At the same time, I am furious at the system, the bowl selection committees, and the BCS. I really feel like they gave the old one-finger salute to all non-AQs in CFB. Basically saying, "We know either TCU or Boise would handle anything our BCS teams could throw at them. I KNOW, let’s give them their own “Mid-Major Champ Bowl”. Everyone will downplay anything that happens in the game and we can avoid having 2 non-AQ BCS Champs." It really furthered my argument that the BCS will never let a non-AQ play for their “championship”.

The more this BCS thing goes along, the more suspicious I become that it’s not on the up and up.

a little patch of purple you think.

Despite all the cries to “boycott the BCS” I will for sure be there to support my team.

Those of you who are disappointed to be in a BCS game should go become Michigan fans! What a bunch of babies!

then I thought about it, they presented it as though Boise State was the for sure team. And TCU was coming into it as the underdog. and that is a good thing, right?

When I first heard this possibility, I thought it stunk. After it actually happened, I’m thinking of some intriguing things about the game. It is certainly possible that the BCS is giving non AQs the business. The Fiesta might have taken a bullet for all the others for future considerations. They might even be hoping that the stadium is half full and the TV ratings are horrible.

TCU is devastated. That team is not happy about the deal. I’m sure our guys would rather play a big name school. Really, though, would we get that much more out of Iowa? If we could have played Penn State, that would have been cool, but that wasn’t happening.

Our guys can prove that they belong with the Mountain West, and have the chance to shut those MWC boneheads up. Hey we’re going. I am happy it is the Fiesta and not the Sugar or the Orange, because I probably wouldn’t have been able to go. Let’s buck up and get there, Bronco Nation!!!!! TCU will be a good, maybe a great game. Let’s help them get it done.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this cause I didn’t read all the comments. I’m wondering if this game might be hard for TCU to get up for. They’ve been working all season for the big matchup against a big BCS conference team. Now they have to face Boise State…again, just like last year. Might be tough for them to get excited for this one. It didn’t seem that they were jumping up and down excited on TV when it was announced they would be playing Boise State. I remember when the Broncos were told they would be playing Oklahoma, everyone from the team was jumping up and down and excited.

I won’t complain if they aren’t excited and BSU walks all over them. In fact I would love that!

annual non-conference schedule so the bowls quit matching us!
We might actually have more to play for this year:
BSU has been downplayed and called lucky.
TCU beat us last year because we have Brotz for a kicker.
TCU has been played up as a great team, possibly deserving of the NC game.
They beat us, so what. It’s what everybody exptected, not too much harm and a few cool mil in the pockets!
We win we get revenge and a “who should’ve played in the NC?”

Glad to be playing in the Fiesta Bowl, as its a game I can afford to attend. I’ll be there.

Go Big Blue!

for the “little” non AQ schools. Although both could play with and beat any team in the country.

Excited we get a big bowl, and I do think TCU should be in the championship, but i can’t help but feel that the both us are being forced to sit at the kiddie table.

of course we’re all pissed. for them to pair us and TCU is very telling of the BCS system – they’re gutless, spineless, and they know our 2 teams would’ve beat any of the BCS teams we were matched up with. easily. no question.

on the other hand, and as many of you have already said, this games gives us a big opportunity. TCU was being debated as the 2nd best team in the nation. if we can put the work in, show up and beat them, much respect will be coming our way, both this and next year.

here’s hoping as many of us as possible are able to go, and our boys do what they do.

SUPER PUMPED…But tcu’s D scares the crap out of me…

I had quite the selection of BAD WORDS for the whole BCS selection committee when Boise vs. TCU came up on the screen. It was like a sucker punch to the gut.

However, now that I’ve had some time to cool off, I look at this game from a purely football perspective and it is By Far the most intriguing and exciting of the BCS bowls. If it weren’t for my burning desire to see every single school from the “big conferences” thoroughly humiliated on the largest stage imaginable, this game would be a dream match up. There’s nothing we, the supporters of all non-aqs, can do but support our teams as they play lights out week after week after week. If we can do that, the respect and recognition WILL come.

God bless that man…

Haven’t we seen this before? Oh yeah I-AA. Didn’t we win that once upon a time?

We get to see the Broncos play the #4 team in the nation. A win against them propels Boise State further up the ladder.

GO BRONCOS!!
