 College Football
Boise State's PR campaign lands Yahoo sportswriter Dan Wetzel hook, line and sinker … In his most recent column, Wetzel mimics recent claims by Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier that “nobody” is willing to schedule Boise State in 2011. Really? Funny how neither Wetzel nor Bleymaier actually name any teams that won’t schedule the ...

Just signed up to say you know jack shit about college football. People are sick of people like you. Thinking you know everything there is to know about football, which is obviously not true since you can't get your facts right. you get the big teams to say they will play boise on ESPN and BSU will play them no problem. Honestly BSU and TCU should be in pac 10 to make it a nice pac 12 league. but pac 10 won't let bsu in. Oh and Prove me wrong on that fact to. Mr facts.

BSU Can beat any team at any stadium, and yes Bsu can lose to top teams to but more likely they would win. You tell me why teams like the buckeyes pay teams like San Jose $850,000 to play them. Oh and Bsu has been playing like crap and of course will pull wins because that's what they do. Beat those easy teams like bowling green and miami of ohio by more points than so called other good teams. Bsu lost to Tcu last year by 1 point because of a bad call to go for it on 4th down with 30 sec left in game and didn't convert. Which led to TCU getting a TD. Do i have to mention a missed field goal on top of that. Notice when Bsu loses its by 4 or less points. your so called good teams can and will not blow us out. Georgia Bulldog game was a fluke and would never happen again. Tell the bull dogs to play us again on ESPN. Did I mention that our team consists of more freshmen and sophomores than most if not every other team out there. We play with who we get to, we don't get 7-10 top pick players like lets say Alabama and LSU, gators etc... and they still lose to unranked teams that BSU would not lose to. It's not impressive to watch those teams win when they get all that money and all the good player picks. On the other hand its very impressive when a team like BSU uses young players and players others wouldn't take and turn them into a real football team who play the game for the game. Not to mention BSU Head Coach Peterson is probably the smartest if not tied for smartest coach out there. He plays conservative to and puts in our 2nd and third stringers, which allow teams to get half of there measly points on BSU. BSU hasn't even opened up its playbook yet, we have a key player that isnt playing to number 99. Good luck stopping him in the redzone, not going to happen. Been plagued by bad calls and snaps all year. Still pulling out top point wins. BSU beat the Ducks 2 years in a row what a coincidence. The time before those we should of had that game to if it wasn't for a bad call everyone saw on replay after game was over but boohoo they can have shit wins. GO get the so called badboy teams to go on ESPN and say they will schedule BSU, if not shut your mouth. No one wants to here your pathetic excuses, or non factual opinions.

How interesting that you choose to mention Ohio State paying San Jose to play them. Isn't San Jose on Boise's schedule. Your argument seems to be "No one will play us, but if they do, then the refs will screw us". I'd think the smartest coach out there could figure out how to get competition for his team or at least how to get the refs off his back. CHILL OUT dude! When Boise State decides to name names regarding the programs they claim are avoiding them, then their whining will have a bit of substance. In the mean time, perhaps Boise can adopt a new school fight song. I suggest Warren Zevon's "Poor, poor, pitiful me".
