QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) And if Boise wants to get more respect then play these BCS non conference games back to back to back. Right now they only play BCS teams when they can get an extended period of time to prepare for them. They are off this week before playing Wyoming on the 18th and then Oregon State comes to town. So they are basically getting another month off to prepare for 1 game. This you just gotta stop with. It's not Boise's fault that they can hardly get any bcs teams on their schedule. They gotta take whatever the f*** they can get.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 10:35 AM) Boise State has played Washington, Oregon and Oregon State several times since 2002 (as far back as ESPN's schedules go). They're 4-3 against the "mighty" Pac-10 over that stretch, with zero games against usual contenders USC and Cal (though Oregon is legit). If you expand it to all BCS conferences, they're 7-7 over that period. People also seem to forget that they've lost bowl games to East Carolina, BC, Louisville and TCU as well as losses to Fresno State and Hawaii that would be a pretty major black mark against a good major conference team (well, not TCU so much). That's the beauty of their current situation: they play 1-3 games against BCS teams (including Bowls) a year instead of the 8-10 for power conference teams. No one remembers when they lose because it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, and when they win they're the mighty underdog that should be playing for a national championship. Sample size against consistently tough competition is pretty key. Someone like Northwestern (a decidedly average major conference team) has some pretty major wins over the same stretch, but no one cares because they also see them lose consistently to teams like Ohio State and Penn State as well as dropping the occasional game to Minnesota, Michigan State, Syracuse, ect. Boise State doesn't get that because they play in a weaker conference and rack up impressive win totals against teams that most BCS teams schedule as their out of conference games to make sure they get enough wins for bowl eligibility. Boise State really hasn't been the Boise State that everyone talks about though since 2006. And since that time they've only lost to one team from a bcs conference. And if you're going to bring up Northwestern, the reason they might be able to pull off a big upset every now and than is because they get a ton more opportunities to face that competition so that argument works both ways. And yes, I'd absolutely love to see these guys in the title game, they wouldn't and shouldn't be favored in that game but there's just no way in hell that they get blown out by any team in the country, it's just not happening.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) The whole Thome thing is a gigantic buttload of hindsight being 20/20. Not at all, considering everyone in the f***in world minus Ozzie Guillen thought having Thome as our dh over Kotsay/Jones was the way to go.

Definitely something to keep an eye on but 6 games is an awful lot to make up with 25 remaining and no head to heads left.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) I love how people continue to say this about Boise, and Boise just keeps going out there and beating top 10 teams. How much more do they have to do? ^That^

I really really really really really really really hope Boise can sneak into the title game this year.

Boise :headbang

Last night was such an odd night. Went out with a group of a about 8 people and none of us feel that we drank that much but all of us have like half the night blacked out. Real f***in weird.

HUGE. Keep this going guys!

Alright we scratched another run across, now how about a hr, druw?

Getting that run over and in was just beautiful.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 11:56 PM) I'd be curious to see where you'd go with that, lol. The Sox should allow members of Soxtalk to switch off broadcasting games. That'd be fun.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) I wish NFL and college would change the whole timeout .1 before the ball is snapped rule. It's just stupid. Once everyone's set and the ref puts the ball in play, there should be no more timeouts in those situations. It's ridiculous. That first one in this game was just nutty, heard no whistle, seemed to be no indication or anything.
