Everytime his squad would play State here in Raleigh, he would always say how much he enjoyed playing in Carter Finley b/c how passionate our fans our and how much we get behind our teams. 3). I cant remember if it was my freshman or sophomore year at State, when we lit them up and beat them while they were ranked, and all the State fans were storming the field I remember this NCSU college student, was running with the masses, and she tripped and fell down and Coach Bowden saw it and he rushed over with his security guard to pick her up and make sure she was ok, while the thousands of State fans(myself included) were cheering about being a top 15 opponent, Bowden was more concerned about the State student's welfare and her being trampled. 4) Florida State, the reason they ascended to the top of the totem pole is b/c of Bobby Bowden, and yes they have had their NCAA sanctions, fall from grace like every other school in the country, but the thing is atleast they GOT THERE, won an ACC Championship or two...won an NCAA football championship..or TWO.....and those piss ant FSU trustees and FSU President can all go to hell if they think they would of gotten there without Coach Bobby Bowden. I may fucking hate and despise the Seminoles, but Coach Bowden is the class act that got them to the top of the god-damn mountain in the first place!!"

If teams like TX, Alabama, Ohio State, and USA back out of contracts to play Boise of course they are going to have to go for the strong mediocre teams like Tulsa, Southern Miss, BYU and Utah!

But its ok, b/c they are playing VT in the Redskins stadium next season along with traveling to Oregon State, so then all of the fuckers can shut the hell up about their schedule.

Im QUITE sure Oklahoma is not inviting them to play ANY time sure that's for god damn sure!!


GO BRONCOS!!

10/19/2009 11:45:14 AM

dude, I bet USA's team would totally blow them out of the water!!!!!

10/19/2009 11:52:00 AM

USA's team??? What the fuck are you talking?

10/19/2009 1:24:43 PM

I don't think anybody is ducking Boise State, but just don't expect a return trip to that gimmicky blue field.

IIRC they have tried to schedule real opponents to show that they can play (ala UGA) and got their ass handed to 'em on a silver platter by halftime. It pisses me off that these shitty teams get into BCS games by way of preseason rankings.

This is a 6 to 8 win team in the SEC

No doubt, the week in week out grind of the SEC is much different than a lot of other conferences. However, if it comes down to Iowa or Boise somehow, no thanks on anything from the Big 10.

I gotta imagine though that Boise tries to get bigger games and has trouble. What is the motivation of a big time team to go play Boise especially early in the season when they have several weeks to prepare? We've seen what Boise does when given 4-6 weeks to come after a team that might be overlooking them. If I'm a big time team in a big conference, beating Boise just has people going "yeah you should have" and losing to them basically knocks you out of a NC hunt.

BYU and Boise need to join the Pac-10, get it up to 12 teams, and then they can division it and have a conference championship game.

10/19/2009 2:23:15 PM

Boise would get bitch slapped playing Florida. yeah yeah...utah stomped bama last year but boise would still get their ass kicked.

10/19/2009 2:25:57 PM

bowl games are an anomaly

These teams sit around for a month+ relaxing, reading their headlines, and getting out of game shape mentally. They don't end up being the same teams as in the regular season. Too much weight is placed on bowl games in general IMO. When Boise proves to people that they can beat good teams on a regular season schedule I'll be the first to give them credit, but until then they are going to be an inferior team backdooring their way into a big game and hoping to pull another upset of the century.

10/19/2009 2:54:26 PM

Yeah we definitely need a playoff system which takes the league champions from all 11 Division 1A football leagues, and then include 5 at large teams to bring the playoff to a total of 16 teams...that is the only way we will ever know, which football team is truly best!

10/20/2009 7:07:43 PM

is English your second language?

10/20/2009 7:15:58 PM

^^ fuck league champions

take the 16 best teams in the nation

10/20/2009 9:46:12 PM

^no you have to take league champs. just as the ncaa tournament does; it wouldn't be fair otherwise. i believe if you win your conference you should at least have a shot at the national championship. and that is the beauty of what a playoff would bring. it would give conf. champs a shot. right now only two conf. champs get one which means 4 bcs conf. champs don't even get a chance.

10/20/2009 9:52:02 PM

Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports explains it perfectly! Who would not want the best teams to have a chance at winning it all?? (Even a 11-1 Troy team, or a 13-0 Boise State taking on TX)..

WAC boss: Boise State struggling to find opponent for 2011
- Idaho Statesman
Published: 11/04/09


Several high-profile programs have turned down a chance to play a home game against Boise State in 2011, WAC commissioner Karl Benson said Tuesday.

Boise State - with help from ESPN, Benson said - has been shopping for a game to fill out its 2011 schedule.

Benson isn't sure of the exact number of schools that have said no, but figures it is close to 10. The Broncos aren't asking for any games in Boise in return, he said.

"They're running into a situation where nobody will schedule them, nobody will take them," Benson said.

Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier wasn't available for comment.

The Broncos have seven home games and five road games scheduled for 2011, but don't have a Bowl Championship Series-conference opponent. Bleymaier wants to add a BCS road game as the 13th game to fix that hole. The other nonconference opponents in 2011 are Utah, Tulsa and Wyoming in Boise and Toledo on the road.

Benson also said the WAC has hired an Idaho public relations firm to do some research and arrange media interviews to help push Boise State's BCS case. The WAC also hired a public-relations firm to push for Hawaii's inclusion in 2007, he said.

"We're trying to establish a message," Benson said.
______________________________________ ______ _________________________________

How in the hell can BCS increase the level of difficulty if BCS schools are afraid to play them?

State hasnt finished there 2010 & 2011 schedule yet? We should put the Broncos on the schedule. They would be a quality top 12 team, and our fans would much rather see us play Boise state then
fucking Elon or Murray State?

SO Lee Fowler, why NOT put Boise State on the schedule for the 2010 or 2011 season? If we want to prove to the nation we are a top ACC squad then Lee Fowler better get some tough, top 25 ranked schools on our schedule..LIKE BOISE STATE!!!

11/5/2009 3:10:58 PM

stop using "we" in terms of NC State

you are not one of us

11/5/2009 3:24:34 PM

we all go to nc state.

11/5/2009 3:32:28 PM

psst...I know you dont know much about our country yet, but Lee Fowler doesnt read this website

sorry to break it to you (and I dont mean "break" literally, its what we call a figure of speech in our country)

11/5/2009 3:39:03 PM

What a grand idea Wolfood98! Let's host a top ten team and get waxed by a non-BCS team!

What we NEED to do is schedule like UNC. Play 4 OOC teams that we should beat. That's why they were 8-5 last year and we were 6-7.

11/5/2009 3:44:15 PM

nothing bad can come from playing boise, tcu, utah, byu etc. Its a quality opponent and if you lose its an understandable loss. Great publicity just to play them but if you win then its HUGE. What we should avoid are games like akron that are lose lose and even games like usc and pitt that are almost guaranteed losses to teams that might not even do well.

If we're gonna schedule bcs teams we need to play baylor, iowa state, colorado, oregon state, washington state, illinois, indiana, nw, purdue, stanford and uconn.

11/5/2009 11:24:39 PM

No Ribs, Ive graduated.


So let me get this straight, you dumb shits would rather us play Tennessee State, Akron, and Elon-go 3-0 and then when we play a legitimate team have our asses handed to us?

As oppose to getting tested by strong mid level teams and not getting our asses waxed by quality opponents down the road?? Yeah, you bright fucks can see how much that strategy has helped us this season.

Playing a strong mid level team like Boise would bring attention to State, help us move up in the rankings with a win, and recruits would know that we dont shy away from ANYONE!!


** I just better not hear, "Oh Boise should not move up the BCS b/c they have not played any quality opponent. And yet, the intelligent morons on this site would rather us play IAA opponents to make it to a shitty ass bowl??!! Yeah, THAT's a way to raise your football team's profile

Great article on Boise State Heisman QB "Kellen Moore", created by the NY Times:

11/8/2009 3:33:36 AM

will you give it a rest already

11/8/2009 3:37:48 AM

11/8/2009 10:02:36 AM

BOISE, Idaho — As soon as Kellen Moore could walk, he attended his father’s high school football practices. Once he could run, he spotted the ball during practice. And at the age of 5, he started throwing with the quarterbacks.

Boise State's Kellen Moore leads the Football Bowl Subdivision in passing efficiency.

Moore spent his Christmas money on college playbooks and the coach’s tape of college games off the Internet. Even today, Moore, the starting quarterback for undefeated Boise State, records several games each Saturday and takes notes for discussions with the Broncos’ offensive coordinator, Bryan Harsin.

And while many of his teammates are out enjoying college life, Moore can often be found at home drawing up plays. He has stacks of notebooks full of plays, his father, Tom, said.

“He’s a football nerd,” Boise State’s defensive coordinator, Justin Wilcox, said.

It is his football savvy and unflappable demeanor that have helped Moore overcome his physical limitations and develop into a Heisman Trophy contender for No. 5 Boise State (8-0, 3-0 Western Athletic Conference), which again this season is a threat to crash the Bowl Championship Series.

Entering Friday night’s game at Louisiana Tech (3-5, 2-3), Moore, a sophomore, has passed for 1,905 yards and 24 touchdowns with just two interceptions. He leads the Football Bowl Subdivision in passing efficiency (171.02) and is second in touchdown passes.

Yet he is hardly a prototypical quarterback. He is 6 feet tall and weighs 184 pounds, throws left-handed and does not run particularly well.

“He’s kind of awkward in some ways,” Boise State Coach Chris Petersen said.

But his savvy is undeniable. Moore correctly predicted that Boise State would run its famous Statute of Liberty play against Oklahoma while watching the 2007 Fiesta Bowl in the stands with his father. Watching Boise line up for the 2-point conversion, Moore recognized the formation.

“They’d ran it earlier that year,” Moore said nonchalantly.

This season, Moore said a few plays that he saw Oklahoma and Houston use have ended up being used by Boise State with variations. He follows both teams closely and even text-messages with Houston quarterback Case Keenum.

“He’s got a social life,” Harsin said of Moore. “A lot of that just revolves around watching other teams play and watching other quarterbacks.”

Raised in Prosser, Wash., an agricultural community of about 5,500 in the southern part of the state, Moore became familiar with Boise State by traveling with his father’s high school teams to the Broncos’ summer football camps. There’s even a photograph of a 9-year-old Moore wearing a Boise State cap while posing with one of his father’s league championship teams.

Yet despite passing for 11,367 yards and 173 touchdowns with 34 interceptions at Prosser High School, Moore was overlooked because of his lack of height and a perceived lack of arm strength. Besides Boise State, his only other scholarship offers were from Idaho and Eastern Washington.

“Who really wants a 6-foot pocket quarterback?” Moore said.

And even when Moore attended Boise State’s summer camp before his senior season, Harsin was not overly impressed. He recalled that Moore threw sidearm, that his passes wobbled, and that he struggled to run.

Harsin’s scouting report: “What’s the deciding factor here on this guy being so special?”

But Wilcox saw it. So he made a deal with Petersen to ensure that Moore was offered a scholarship. If Moore did not work out, Wilcox told Petersen, he would give up a defensive scholarship.

Moore committed to Boise State in September 2006, but while being recruited he and Petersen often discussed the intricacies of the Broncos’ offense. And when Petersen asked him questions, Moore always had the same answer.

“Yeah, I’ve seen you guys do that,” Petersen recalled Moore telling him.

While redshirting in 2007, Moore was average in practice drills, but completely different in scrimmages. The ball suddenly flew out of his hand. His wobbly passes became perfect spirals that receivers caught without breaking stride.

“From that point on, you knew what he could do,” Harsin said.

Last season, Moore passed for 3,486 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while helping lead Boise State to a 12-1 record. Along the way, Boise State’s coaches have come to value Moore’s opinion. After he watches tape of an opponent, they often incorporate what he likes into the game plan.

And when Harsin talks to Petersen about a new play for Boise State’s offense, Petersen asks, “What does Kellen think?”

“If he likes that play, it’s going to happen,” Petersen said.

During a game, Petersen said, he sometimes questions Moore about why he made specific throws. But when watching the game later, Petersen said, he understood Moore’s logic.

“I haven’t been around a guy that’s right as much as he is,” Petersen said.

Moore’s football obsession carries over to the classroom, where he is writing a 10-page paper about Tom Brady this semester. The only comparison Moore gets to Brady is thanks to the photograph of a shirtless Brady from the 2000 N.F.L. combine.

Moore keeps the photo of a pale and seemingly muscleless Brady on the screensaver of the computer used by the Boise quarterbacks. It is a subtle reminder about overcoming physical limitations.

When at Hawaii this year, Boise State played a game called Bronco Ball to warm up. Moore was on the team that did not wear shirts, a sight that caused Wilcox to laugh.

“I think every guy on the other team was like, ‘Oh my God, put your shirt back on,’ ” Wilcox said.

Harsin said, “All those physical tools you’d expect from a guy who’s doing some of things he’s doing statistically aren’t there.”

Moore attributes some of his lack of athleticism to his childhood. His Achilles’ tendons were too short when he was born and until having surgery at the age of 6 he walked on his tiptoes because his heels could not extend to the ground.

Even after the surgery, Moore said, he often ran on his toes.

“That’s something I’ve always had to work on,” he said.

Although Moore is being mentioned for the Heisman Trophy, Petersen said he was not sure that Boise State receives enough exposure for him to be a legitimate contender for the award.

“If there’s anybody that we’d ever probably not care that they’re being mentioned in that, it’d be Kellen because it’s not going to affect him or faze him,” Petersen said.

Even Moore’s choice of Boise State for college links to his meticulous football nature. Instead of falling for Boise’s blue turf, rich history or wide-open offense, he settled on Boise because of its young staff.

“I want to get into coaching,” Moore said. “You’ve got to do what you love.”

But if Moore keeps carving up college football, he may have to put a career in coaching on hold for a shot at the N.F.L.

11/8/2009 1:47:20 PM

Cincinnati is proving that they CLEARLY do not deserve to be taking on the likes of powerhouse Florida, and it's quite clear that TCU or Boise would have been a MUCH tougher, stronger, QUALITY opponent than any team from the Big East Conference this season!!!


Looking forward to the Boise and TCU match up on Monday!!
