2 things 1 GO PACK
2 Nevada showed a lot of heart in that 2nd half something Id love to see from our Denver Broncos

[Amari24]

we played poorly. we didn't tackle or wrap up where we needed to, especially with chances to get Colin way behind the l.o.s.

but above ALL of that, the two things that upset me most is the terrible, terrible call on the "interfering with the punt returner" or whatever that gave Nevada the ball back that led to Colin's diving TD... the returner clearly lost the ball before he was hit. should've been BSU ball in the red zone.

second call was the most obvious pass interference+face mask i think i've seen in a long time on Titus Young that the refs somehow missed.

no, these are not excuses... there is no excuse for that terrible of officiating.

other than that... it's all on Boise's poor play tonight. we did not look like #4 out there AT ALL. did we deserve to be #4? you bet we did. but a RANKED team came in and played to the end, took advantage of our plethora of mistakes and came away with an upset.

not the first time this has happened in college football. not even the first time this season.

I'm not ready to say Nevada deserved the win, but Boise State sure didn't.

I agree, Boise did pretty well containing Kaepernick throughout the game, it was just the poor tackling that killed them in the end. Yes the officiating was bad, but you're not going to get all the calls your way, all the time, but that muffed punt defintley could've been the turning point of the game. The defense was probably the worse I've seen all year, and you can't win games on offense alone, you need defense as well. And who knows, Coach Pete using a timeout to ice the kicker probably would've changed the outcome.

Don't worry though, it didn't take us long to go from an unranked team, to a top 5 team. Boise will have another shot at it.

That's a shame for the fans of Boise St

I believe that they was definitely deserving of the recognition they was getting and a high enough ranking to be considered for a chance at the National Championship all to come to an end just like that ..

Yeah, after a day of being pissed off about the way Boise played I'm not as mad now. It was a good game, but I do believe one day Boise will get a shot, just not now. I'm still pissed off at Brotzman for missing two easy FGs, technically PAT distance. But I really can't blame the loss on him, as a whole Boise didn't play that well, and on top of that, they missed a lot of sacks and tackles in the back field, and Nevada ending up scoring. So while Brotzman should've made those 2 field goals, I defintley can't pin the whole loss at him.

But like I said before, I've been a Boise fan for years, and it took me this long to see them almost get a chance, I believe they'll get there. At this point, I'm going to route for TCU to beat any BCS team they end up playing, just so it proves than non AQ teams, are for real.

yesterday early afternoon Boise State was in the national championship and by the end of the night they are in the poinsetta bowl LOL

Actually these are the 2 bowl's they will most likely end up in:

"uDrove Humanitarian Bowl "

or the

"Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl"

Who says Nevada isn't over rated? Who has Nevada even beaten besides Boise State?

It's the WHACK. It's not like Boise State lost to the 19 ranked SEC school.

Whatever you can hang your hat on not being "over rated" but at the end of the day we can exclude Boise from National Championship discussion and you can start commenting on the Best 1 Loss Team thread.

nevada beat fresno state... they shoulda bolted to #1 after that win alone!



anyway, i do think nevada is overrated. why??? we were leading most of the game against them... and we lost 51-0 to boise... thats why

[CoryWinget81]

We want a national championship! Who cares if we have a kleenex schedule! We can get up for any game! We can beat anyone!


Oh...hi there, Nevada. That's an awfully big stick...

[Kno-Sean]

I never expected Boise in the NC game. I was really looking forward to the Rose Bowl however.

That was a really bitter loss. You should never miss a 26 yard FG from the middle of the field. He wasn't even dealing with a hash mark!

At the end of the day I feel bad for the kid. He's from the town I live in. He went to Meridian High School where my son will be going. He's probably been a fan of the Broncos since he was a kid. This has to be really hard for him.

Ya gotta feel for the kid.

[SBboundBRONCOS]

i like how everyone only brings up ohio state and hardly any team in the SEC

i know my team sucked horribly this year but we lost to the number 1 team in the country oregon, LSU, bama all top 10 at the time i believe and it was within 6 weeks and then South carolina a week later making it 4 teams in 7 games in the top 20 . . . thats an SEC schedule for you, its brutal, nasty, and trying. of course there are filler games in there like UAB and TN-Martin

i like boise and i wish they had the chance to play any of these teams during the reg season but they didnt and we truely wont know if they deserved a NC game because of that

I was going to respond to those comments RB.... but they are being trollish and ignorant so i decided i'd just leave them with their bias and move on...


for the record, i take boise over any other team in the nation... and i'm not a boise state fan at all.. i was cheering for nevada (kinda) this game... (kinda)...

to me it was as if the raiders and chargers were playing... i wanted both teams to lose but i'd rather see the chargers lose...

[RealBronco]

both of you BCS tools are humorous. we lose ONE game and all of a sudden we are overrated and blah blah blah. i can give you a list of all the other "high and mighty" teams that lost games to ranked teams or hell, even unranked crappy teams.

hahaha! suck it boise state! suck it! how does it feel to epic choke against one of the only two decent teams you played this year?

so we lose a close one to a ranked in-conference rival and it's an epic choke.

Alabama loses by one point to a ranked in-conference rival and it's "just SEC football"

give me a break. DOUBLE STANDARD ALERT!!!!

(yes i know 'Bama wasn't expected to win, but what does that say about Auburn having to come back from 24 down? pft. come at me with any argument and i'll shut you down Panda).

it doesn't matter if both of us play in the WAC. the BCS Poll doesn't care about conference affiliation. Nevada is RANKED pure and simple. if you can't accept that then you don't understand or appreciate how YOUR precious system works.

Is this the one that Titus Young offensive pass interfered on when he completely threw the defender behind him causing the guy's hand to slide across the top of his head?

Then Titus Young continued to cry for a penalty?

The same play that Kellen Moore under threw him by about 25 yards?


You can cry about the penalties all you want, but the fact of the matter is that you had a 26 yard field goal to win regardless of how bad the refs were "screwing" you over.

As for me, I'm not ready to admit Nevada is great now. I'm ready to say "Told you so" on Boise State's overratedness.

nice attempt making a situation up. anyone who saw the play I was talking about could tell plainly that Titus was both interfered with and personally fouled by having his face-mask grabbed. Also the ball was completely catchable. i don't know what 25 yard overthrow you're talking about.

but let's say your little made up scenario is true. even if Titus draws offensive PI (oh by the way there was a Nevada offensive PI that wasn't called so i guess they're even), the facemask is worse...if not off-setting. either way there should have been laundry on the field on that play and there wasn't.

also you OBVIOUSLY didn't read any part of my post except the part about TWO penalties that were blatantly obviously the wrong call because i clearly said the team played poorly and there was no excuse for how bad we played.

also losing to a ranked team: i don't see how that screams overrated. Nevada is ranked for a reason, just as Boise is ranked for a reason. lower ranked teams upset higher ranked teams almost on a weekly basis.

might i remind you THREE #1 teams fell three weeks in a row but NO BODY said anything about them being overrated. in fact some still said Alabama was still the best team in the country. LOL.

you BCS tools are hilarious. you'll rant and rave that your BCS teams play the Patriots every single week and it's okay if they lose one here and there, but if another high powered, clearly deserving team that's ranked in the top 5 falls to another ranked team then it's completely overrated.

so laughable. you're like the guy i used to work with that played Dungeons and Dragons and smelled of fat man and B.O. and God knows what else but couldn't smell his own stink. your hypocrisy is so ripe it's filling the room with fumes.


the next thing you'll tell me is that the Ohio State team that went to the National Championship game and got their butts kicked 41-14 deserved every bit of it despite playing ZERO ranked teams that year.

but somehow they're more deserving than Boise or Nevada? LOL. keep that comedy coming you two (and the rest of you BCS sympathizers).

you're like the Nazi Youth, too brainwashed by minds more intelligent than your own to see that you're wrong.
