Gameballs for Boise State versus Wyoming

every player that put Biezuns (Brazilian for “that not so fresh feeling”) on his BW. I was under the impression that one could lose one’s man-card if one could not back up one’s jack-BW behavior.

Suspended pending further review.

SECTION 123 student section for Chanting beeeeeeezzzzzzzessssssssuuusssss SUCKS! after every 1 st down.
Way to go team!

So I am up in Lewiston at grandma’s doing some chore where I could not watch the start of the game. I get back to the house near the half way point of the 2nd quarter and see some long faces reminiscent of TCU and palpable depression that the end is near.

So I asked:

1. How many points does WY have? 7

2. How’d they get it? Moore pick 6 (act of the devil, happens once every 2 years)

3. How is WY offense doing? Zero points

4. How are we doing? Dropping passes, but we are open

5. How much time is left? Lots

Diagnosis: slow start, but the other guys can’t do anything…and never did. Its amazing how some can doubt the surgeon and suddenly determine everyone else got stupid or forgot to eat their wheaties. Have we learned nothing about this team? With the benefit of hindsight (not needed really) have we all determined that a complete defensive beatdown and an offensive juggernaut that took a little while to get going was in fact one of our most complete victories of the year, against a 7 win team that should have beaten Nebraska?

Frankly, I think Christensen realized that the surgeon would simply come back out on the field and keep operating if WY was lucky enough to get a quick strike, which other than the great tightrope catch, had not worked all day. The Iloka/Stanaway move crushed his evil plans methinks. So why not work on something they had not tried yet – QB runs and everybody else blocks? It worked, and it kept the surgeon off the field for over half the fourth quarter. At some point Coach C realized he wasn’t going to win the game with less than 130 yards of offense in 3 quarters and with Smith not being Smith against the boys in blue, chucked plan A competely.

That game may have gone a long way toward getting us the Maaco Bowl instead of the Christmas Plant or Northern Looziana BBQ bowl. Wish the Orange/Fiesta bowl people had been there.

i just figured they knew they weren’t going to win, so they wanted to keep the ball out of Kellen Moore’s hands and stop the bleeding while they were “ahead”. just think if they aired it out some more or did try the hurry up. Maybe BSU gets another possession (or two) and another score (or two).

keep it a “respectable” (and at worst) 29 points and not allow BSU to score some more.

I dunno. that was just me.

It looked as though something happened to Smith’s hand/arm/psyche. He kept clutching his throwing hand in between plays and on the sidelines. I watched the game with two Wyoming fans and they were livid that they put Stratton in. I mentioned to them it looked like maybe something was wrong with Smith.

In the “If only…” dept, I am convinced to this day that had Senor Hout been healthy, me and the little missus woulda/shoulda/coulda been bowling in Pasadena last year.

Case in point: Byron runs a stunt from right to left at the right guard. That dude (can a 45-year-old guy still say “dude”?) totally went rock-em sock-em as Hout jacked up his head – it made me wince.

You’ll never see it on the highlight reels… my nominee for the Minister of Mayhem, the Hegemon of Haymakers, one Lord Byron of Hooooouuuuuut!!!

in hopes CP becomes head football coach in Westwood.

…the Mtn…and I mean unwatchable…as in it doesn’t exist out here and therefore I can’t watch it. Looking forward to missing New Mexico.

The Wyoming offense was freaked out the whole game because all they could see were 11 pairs of white pants running around the field…and you thought the Headless Horseman was scary as a kid.

Well, I just wanted to get on here and say good game Broncos. I can at least begin to forget the drubbing you handed out last year in Laramie. I think we have improved a great deal from last year and although I ALWAYS hate a loss, I knew we lost to the better team. We are nowhere near the level that Boise is at this point but I think we can get there. I wish you would have recruited a kicker and beat TCU as that loss is going to cost everyone in the MWC a LOT of $$. I can’t believe that your D does not get more credit from the press. Despite some comments on here, our Freshman QB is really good. Your D, however was outstanding in getting in his head and containing is BIG run threat. I was very impressed watching the smurf D on that ridiculous field. I also agree that the Mtn “Network” coverage was high school level at best. Anyway, best of luck the rest of the year and hopefully we will be in the same conference again next year, somehow. Can’t wait until Kellen Moore has gone on to be on the NFL sidelines. He is scary good as a college QB.
