great pub -- hopefully we'll both head into our first games unscathed and play on the Blue in Boise undefeated!

i definitely think you'll beat wisconsin. since i'm also a wisconsin native, i'm not sure who i'll be rooting for in that one, though i think i hate the BCS just enough to wear my bronco orange that day and hope for a Falcon win.
:shock:

and then i will pray forgiveness to the great holy bratwurst in the sky and beg that my wisconsin birthright be returned to me by way of beer and cheddar.

anyway, i'm looking forward to our BSU/BGSU game big time! am even taking the day off to do some serious tailgating (which will be odd for a wednesday, but hey, we all make sacrifices. i plan on sacrificing a lamb. or maybe an elk, or an emu.)

hope to see you here in boise!
:D

Sacrafice an EMU - we did every year we were in the MAC West! :lol: :P :lol: Oh, I kill me!!!

I'm looking forward to this game probably more than even you! All I can think about is seeing our orange on your blue. I have visions. I'm contemplating seeing a doctor for it.

And, from the sounds of it, I might just have to put Boise fans on my list of "classiest fans" that now includes Oklahoma and Boise. :D

Beat the Dawgs, Boise!

Bosie fans are great people...why they hate the BCS as much no...more than we do,
They have a great board a Broncocountry.com and they are looking forward to showdown as much as we are......
Beat Georgia folks...beat Georgia.....

MSNBC puts us at 15...that is high starts...but considering that ESPN decied that since we would most likely beat WI to put us both out of the top 25 this shows the unbiased report here of MSNBC

ESPN=BCS backers and none believers in reality

They've got Omar on their Heisman list as well... though he's not doing so hot in their fan poll:

Wow, I hope they're correct. Just imagine the accolades we would receive if we won the WEST while being in the EAST. We'd just have to get a BCS bowl then. :wink:

I respect Boise's program and success big time. They come to play, every game no matter who they play. They play hard, fair and have an excellent all time record since their program started in 1968.

295-136-2 in 433 games...winning % of 68%. Dan Hawkins is 44-7 :shock: :shock: :shock: in 4 seasons in Boise. He is 84-18-1 overall.

BSU has an enrollment very comparable to BGSU...18,500. The city gets behind the team in a big way and sellouts at Bronco Stadium are common.

This is the game I am looking forward to almost as much as Miami and UT. To win in their house would be a huge accomplishment. If I am not mistaken, they have won 39 of the past 40 games on the Blue Turf (gulp!).

This will be a great series and I hope we get the chance to play more than the 2 scheduled games.

The fans are classy, just like the program. It is a great program that strives for excellence. I like to think of them as the "BGSU of the West" and of BGSU as the "Boise State of the Midwest".

NO BS here...GO FALCONS! BEAT WISKY!

I can see why, Transfer! Maybe next time I'll be able to fly the Freaklings out there. Akron/Canton Airport has non stop flights to Denver now. :wink: Can pick up a connecting flight to Boise then!

Growing up, the farthest west our family travelled was Montana and Wyoming. And the Boise area looks absolutely STUNNING on TV. How could you not love going to games in that setting??? Especially when you win almost all the time. That is gonna be a tough, tough game.

Bring back the "W".
