Get off your soapboxes, Boise Haters! aka, Hokies...

What is with all this vitriol I've seen spewed at the Boise State football team after beating Va Tech on Monday? It was a great game, Boise took advantage of early Tech mistakes (a fumbled qb exchange under heavy pressure from the Boise D-line), a block on a punt deep in their own territory (Beamer Ball?) and fell behind by 17 before managing to come back and take the lead. Boise St, though, came through down the stretch and won the game. It's called football. As for the Broncos' ranking...it's deserved based on what they've done in previous seasons and esp last season w/20 starters returning after an undefeated season and BCS bowl victory.

I still say, let's have a playoff of some sort, but don't hate on Boise State. Va Tech, you could've at least won what was essentially a home game in your own backyard.

Football Season is here

College football season officially kicked off tonight and I couldn't be happier to watch games that actually count. I began the night watching USC East (the Gamecocks) demolish Southern Miss and now watching a tight Pitt v Utah game. USC West is playing Hawaii now over on ESPN, so once this Big East/Mt West nail biter is over, I'll be sure to switch over. Looks like this one could go to overtime, though.
