OT: Tuesday Night Footbaw Open Thread

Submitted by BlueVoix on

Because Boise State versus Louisiana Tech couldn't wait until Saturday.

And also because your work week is crushingly depressing and yes, even WAC football will do.

I'm so torn about Boise State.  I respect them as a team and think they're very talented, but the WAC is just God awful.  They need to go independent or join a AQ conference.  Big 12... get on it.

I was under the impression that BSU probably couldn't get into the Big12 if they tried. Academics, demographics, lack of any other quality sports programs, small market, etc. I personally thought the Pac10 would've been a better fit for them, but I don't know how much traction they'd get there, either. Anyway, I don't care how good people keep saying they are, they have to play a real big boy schedule, and forget about home and homes; they should go anywhere, and do whatever the hell they have to do to play big teams.

Oh my God.  That woman announcer should just not talk. Ever.  I don't know who she is, but for the love of football and all other things sacred, stop.

I can't see Boise losing this game, but if they do, do you think they would be dropped out of the polls?  I doubt they would, but with the weak schedule they play, having one loss would seem worse (to me) then having two losses to say, MSU and Iowa, for example.  Maybe similar to Michigan getting dropped out of the polls from #3 after losing to an App State team that is probably on par or better than LT.

I can't help but think that if this year's Michigan played in the WAC, they would be able to get "up" for one game a year then run the table through the conference schedule.

EDIT: Replacing Boise of course.

In BSU's defense, LT had nothing to lose, and was throwing everything but the kitchen sink at them (onsides kick, multiple statue of liberties, RB tosses, etc.), and nearly every series was treated as being 4 down territory.  It can be hard to play a deperate team with nothing to lose.
