IF
and thats a big if. If Idaho beats Washington, and ISU beats Oklahoma (not listed), I might need a new pair of shorts today. Why you ask? Because I have crapped myself.
Definetly looking forward to our game tonight. I think it will be a chance for the offense to have some fun and make some big and wild plays. And of course the D should shine brightly as ever. Maybe even a shutout. Heck, Kentucky did, we can do it too.
USC – Ohio St. will be good. Although I like the Buckeyes, there display against Navy last week scared me. I’m thinkin USC probably silences the ‘Shoe tonight, but it will be fun to watch regardless…its college football. How could it not be?
Well, I’m about to strap myself to the couch for the next 10 hours watching game after game, with my cheetos and pudding. Here I go.
God I love college football Saturdays.

Wear pants.
It will hide better. I mean, if you crap ALOT, then it might spill past your shorts line.

Ah,
Good call. Perhaps brown pants then?

By the looks of these things
That job may not be available for Hawk for quite some time.
But (and this is a BIG but) the game is still early.
Ridonkulous!

Hawk.
Hawkins (Cody and/or Dan) may not make it through the season. Based on Colorado’s performance vs. Toledo, I do not see them winning more than maybe 1 game this year. That was one of the worst beatings I have ever seen a middy put on a BCS team. At no point was Toledo in danger of losing that game. Cody is not a D-1 QB and CU’s defense makes House Party seem like House Party 3. At least Kid n’ Play respect themselves.
Just wait for Fresno. They usually doesn’t choke until the 3rd week.
Why isn't...
Why isn’t Pat Hill sticking with the short passing game?? There isn’t any room against that big Wisconsin front yet he’s trying to pound Matthews through them anyways
Devon Wylie
Kyle Wilson may have met his match. Kyle better keep his finger in the holster and just lock him down.
Is anybody else wondering...?
How BYU-Tulane got on ESPN2? Didn’t the MWC break ties with ESPN? How did that happen?
They want the nation to get a better look at BYU.
So if they fall on their face, people will see it.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

The MWC only has a TV contract...
for MWC home games. Same reason OK vs BYU was on ESPN. No games in Provo can be on ESPN.
Fresno looks like September Fresno
Colburn looks sharp early…Fresno could end up helping our SOS more than we thought.

Where can I find free parking + shuttle?

Thanks.
That gives me the shuttles. But are there places to park? I’ll even take inexpensive.

Last week I parked at
6th and Grove. It was wide open and it only cost me $4. That was on a Thrs night thought, not a Sat afternoon, but I would give it a shot. If you do park there, just make sure that the parking receipt is face up on your dash board or you will get a parking ticket! I learned that first hand!

Also.
Can I bring a backpack in? Are there things that I can’t take into the stadium?
Sorry, I’m a newb here. During the Oregon game I didn’t worry so much, but now I’m bringing my son and I’m sure he’ll get thirsty/hungry, etc.

Fresno and ...
Watson sittin’ in a tree. K. I. S. S. I. N. G. I have a feeling she’ll pick Fresno next week.

Was just thinking that.
I almost tweeted it to her.
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."
-- Nale
So...the question is...
Is Fresno’s offense that good? …Or, is Wisconsin’s defense that bad?
Ridonkulous!
Directional Michigan vs. Michigan State
This is a pretty good game, too. I’m switching back and forth. Go Mid-Majors!
Deep Thoughts
Since Michigan is one of two states that is more than one land mass, how do you figure out where the center is at?
Deeper thoughts...
There’s is more than two state that is more than one land mass. But you might have a different definition to land mass than I do.

Sure
There are few like Texas and Floride with tiny little islands off the coast. But I was talking about Hawai’i and Michigan.
Alaska?

Fresno will screw this up
if anyone is capable of throwing a game away in this situation it is Pat Hill
And now the melt down begins!
Ridonkulous!

Little of both...
Wisconsin barely beat Northern Illinois last week and Fresno beat up on a 1-AA squad. I think Fresno is benefitting from not having the crushing weight of expectation on their back, but Boise State’s D is a lot better than Wiscy’s and our offense too.

I've noticed
Wisconsin is doing very well in the flats. BSU is going to eat Fresno up. GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Am I the only one who...
Kinda wants to see Fresno win…to help our SOS. But at the same time, want to see them lose…just cuz?
Ridonkulous!
I want them to win for the SOS...
Want them to look average doing it.
by Drew Roberts on Sep 12, 2009 11:31 AM PDT up reply actions
I want them to win big
It would be great to see everyone picking Fresno for next week. Puts a chip on Boise State’s shoulder and keeps them from being complacent.
Remember guys...
Fresno could lose to anybody, at anytime, anywhere

Nice
I like how it’s an accomplishment that they’ll play anyone, anywhere, anytime. I’m pretty sure Troy does that too
I don't think...
Fresno will be able to have 9 minute drives next weekend.

I agree
I see a lot of 3 and outs in their future!
Ridonkulous!
by OBNUG Intern on Sep 12, 2009 11:42 AM PDT up reply actions
just like last year
Pat Hill and the WORST clock management in the history of football part II. Last year vs. Wisconsin was the same thing if anyone remembers.
Courtesy of twitter
ESPN_Others (Graham Watson) In the first half Fresno State QB Ryan Colburn had all sorts of long passes. This half, not so much and that’s why the team is struggling.
Ridonkulous!
Thank you Captain Obvious!
and that’s why the team is struggling.

What the hell?
The color commentator in the Fresno game just said that everything won’t be right in college football until Michigan, Notre Dame and all the powers that used to be get back to where they were.
Unbelievable
Don't forget...
Princeton. They were good once, right?
I love the colors Orange and Blue. Go Broncos!!! Go Titans!!!
Defense First
Fresno gives up a rushing touchdown, gets a passing touchdown and goes for 2… and loses, watch it happen
interceptoin in the end zone
Ridonkulous!
by OBNUG Intern on Sep 12, 2009 12:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, since…Wisconsin’s defense is so great and all… and Fresno’s offense was on fire… I see how he could make that conclusion…riiiiight!
Ridonkulous!

For who?
Close win as far as Boise State is concerned.
by Drew Roberts on Sep 12, 2009 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions
As far as Mr ESPN is concerned, this close loss gives him enough to assume that Fresno will give BSU all they can handle.
Ridonkulous!
by OBNUG Intern on Sep 12, 2009 12:37 PM PDT up reply actions
So...
His assumption is that Wisconsin is as good or better than BSU? Very interesting.

A “Pig Flu” depleted Wisconsin mind you. I have no idea what he was thinking!

If it weren’t for the Vandals 7 penalties aleady, they might actually be in the lead. It’s truly bizarre

Not that surprising...
The Vandals have shown over the last few years that they can compete for 1-2 quarters.

Only against the team with the longest losing streak in the nation!
Come on fellas!! This is against WASHINGTON… remember? they have lost more games in the last two years than IDAHO…
Someday I hope to look in a mirror and see something special... something like a coach pete protoge'.
Tulane?!
Holding BYU to 2 field goals…what’s up with that? So if BYU loses to Tulane, does that mean the Oklahoma will drop out of the top 25?
Ridonkulous!
Well if Tulane beats BYU, and BYU beat Oklahoma, and Tulsa beat Tulane… Once we beat Tulsa, we basically beat Oklahoma again right?
well it makes sense to me…
Someday I hope to look in a mirror and see something special... something like a coach pete protoge'.
Wow.

Job description...
Isn’t that in your job description? What kind of intern are you? When Kevan is at a game, you’re suppose to stay at home and run the site. shakes head in disappointment /sarcasm/
I love the colors Orange and Blue. Go Broncos!!! Go Titans!!!
Very funny
unfortunately the other downside of being an intern is the lack of pay, therefore all I get is just what’s on cable. shakes head in sadness
Ridonkulous!
by OBNUG Intern on Sep 12, 2009 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Think of the comment count at the end of the day. Kevan was excited with last week’s 300+ count. I wonder what he’d do with 1000! Ha.
Ridonkulous!

Wyoming Offense
Can not move the ball today, the defense is keeping them in the game. But the defense is going to get really tired if the offense doesnt find a way to move the ball consistently.
Adios Idaho
Rob Ackey’s mustache is very discouraged right now
