Boise State gets commitment from kicker/punter Sean Wale
He was supposed to be recruited as a punter but said that Coach Petersen and Jeff Choate, who visited him yesterday, told him that they wanted him to compete for the kicking job. The more the merrier I say! In this article from September, Wale says it's his dream to kick a winning field goal. The chances of that happening at Boise State are high, my friend. Enjoy the highlight clip below.
Kustra wanted Petersen raise now for recruiting purposes

West Virginia steamrolls Clemson in Orange Bowl
The Mountaineers hung 70 on Clemson in a meaningless game. Both teams will walk away with the same amount of money and I really doubt that the perception of the Big East or ACC has changed much after the game. Yay BCS!
