Va Tech/Boise 2nd Half Line/Open Thread
well, well we have a football game. Should be a fun second half. That Boise +1.5 line, could see that hook come in handy. Interesting. Boise starts the half with the ball. Can they come out swinging like the first half?
Here is the second half point spread, I want to get a mgo strawpoll on it
VT -2.5 over Boise
This is just for the combined score of the second half, plus any OT played. So, if you take VT on this line, you technically have them at +3.5 for the final score.
Thoughts?
Also, there are a couple threads going on this game, both have been pushed to the second page. How about this serve as a new open thread for the second half so new arrivals on the night can find it.
Should be a great second half. Two of my favorite teams. I have to keep from fisting pumping every Va Tech good play because I formally took Boise.

Well, what a disappointment
Barring a miracle I am not too optimistic
September 6th, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
Refs owe Tech a flag, here it comes.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
4th and long now for VT. This could be the game.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
Boise State is going to win.
Good game man, they come into a packed VT house, blow a 17 pt game, and then come back and win it. Got a lot of poise, this team.
National Championship worthy team?

No way. BSU would never survive the Big 10 or the SEC or the Big 12.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
I would be very curious to see them try, actually. I think they would survive and be in the top half of the league but I'm not sure I'd have them to win it.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:42 PM ^
If they can only be in the top half of the league, then they wouldn't be National Championship game worthy. They are ok, but I think VT screwed up more than BSU won it. That was some baaaaaad coaching.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
Wow if VaTech's WRs could catch the ball they'd have a 2-3 TD lead.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:35 PM ^
Game over. Beamer lost this one by being stupid. Thanks for nothing. Now he can do the decent thing by losing the rest of his games.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:35 PM ^
Sorry Boise, this doesn't get you into the NC game. You went to sleep for 2.5 quarters and VA Tech didn't put you away. Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, hell, most teams would put you away.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:38 PM ^
Wait so they didn't play for half the game and still won? What if they actually played for a full game? I'd say that'd get you into the NC game...
September 6th, 2010 at 11:46 PM ^
Being a VA Tech student, I'm guessing you know just as well as anyone else that Beamer Ball lost this game, rather than Boise winning it.
I respect Boise's ability and I think they are a very good team. If they win out, or even if they lose a game, they deserve to be in a BCS bowl. However, the national champion should be a team that had to compete just about every week to get into that game, not for three weeks out of the year.
September 7th, 2010 at 12:53 AM ^
That is true. I don't know what exactly happened to Boise but I agree Tech lost the game. But Alabama last year played bad many times, they almost lost to Tennessee, LSU, and Auburn. It is slightly different that Boise doesn't have as many chances for the good wins so they need to really step up but in the end they still won. I can't help but root for these non-BCS teams. I don't understand why everybody hates them so much. Underdog stories are awesome.

jeeez do brent and herbie work for BSU public relations or marketing team?
September 6th, 2010 at 11:41 PM ^
I think ESPN has figured out it's useful to have a BCS buster every year. Some Cinderella type story to talk about on Sports Center and use to get ratings. It looks like Boise gets to try on the glass slipper this year.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:46 PM ^
Hypin' the story for the week. Get used to it, cuz this one will be around all year. Or until they trip up against the likes of the Nevada Wolfpack or something.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:36 PM ^
Wasn't Boise favored to win this game? Why are Herbie and Musburger acting like Douglas just knocked out Tyson?
September 6th, 2010 at 11:42 PM ^
Also, congrats to the VaTech offense for going into total panic and just throwing deep strikes without any regard to getting a first down or trying for the FG. If your entire 1 minute drill is low percentage deep balls to WRs with stone hands, you need to rewrite that section of the playbook.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:36 PM ^
unbelievable!
September 6th, 2010 at 11:38 PM ^
You mean they won a game they were favored to win?
September 7th, 2010 at 12:55 AM ^
They were actually the underdog according to Vegas.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:37 PM ^
That is, in addition to Wyoming and Fresno State. Go Beavers.
September 7th, 2010 at 12:08 AM ^
The Beavers can't seem to ever put it together until October. They're also breaking in a new quarterback. I'd be very surprised if they beat Boise State.
Boise State is a very good team, no doubt, but the whole play one big game to start the season, then cruise to undefeated thing is getting old.

Michigan vs Boise St in the MNC. Perhaps The Knowledge was on to something...
