GO BRONCOS!!!!!! You can DO IT!!!

Neb. D must be the best in the nation. I think McCoy was sacked 11 times tonight. The Broncos are off to the Fiesta against a POS Big 10 team. I think they will handle Iowa/Penn St. no problem. They are both garbage as well as Ohio State.

Coach Pete could have showcased K. Moore today and received much national publicity, maybe even a Heisman invitation. Instead we ran the ball. Why?

He ran the ball because we don't need to get anybody else hurt. Kellen has plenty of time to win the Heisman and IMO I think his best shot is next year as well as next year being BSU's best shot at a Nat'l Championship if they can win out.

Jesus, chill out.

FYI

MACK BROWN SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! CALL THE @#$% TIMEOUT AND KICK THE ##%% FIELD GOAL!!!!!!!!

Congrats to the BSU players on the inevitable BCS berth. Now the real question...should TCU or Texas play for the national title? I would put my soul on TCU/Alabama being the real deal this year.

Come on now..... The Broncos NEED like nothing else to win this years bowl game. The rest of the season doesn't matter unless they do this. So yes, he made the right decision. Pull the starters and hope for that Pettis is back for the bowl game (although I don't think it will matter against a Big 10 opponent).

Football is a team sport especially the way coach pete coaches. With your recievers out it is probably a good idea to run the ball safely get the sure win. If you don't you risk the interceprions and incompletions you will inevitably have with a hodge podge recieveing corps.

of practice. Not a month of kirby and TY to get hurt again. Geesh. But you would be a much better coach. Where's your million dollar paycheck?

Attitude that tetpilot does on his fantasy coaching team.

Why not give Coughlin some time at qb? What if Kellen is injured, or gets sick or something? The 2's need as much time on the field as possible. And the young receivers were on the field all during that time.

Coughlin. We may need him someday and he needs to be much sharper. plus our running game ALWAYS needs to be fine tuned. Our recievers will be just fine. As long as they can get and stay healthy

Instead of complaining so much about the BCS system, which sucks, consider what a playoff system might really do to our young athletes. Two or three more weeks of play means more injuries, and broken opportunities. Look how many seniors got to play in the last game, and how many starters are already injured on a 13 game schedule. Just saying. The system sucks, but do we wanna put a bunch more games in front of our student athletes with lives still ahead of them?

Here's my take, and it is uninformed, as I care little for sports but love Bronco football. I am a Broncos fan since living across the street from Mike Holton in the late 60's (yes, his record finally fell this year). Looking from my Idaho ill informed perspective, I just see a bunch of big money jerks, sucking lattes, not letting us play the "big" teams, and then saying we have a crappy schedule. The folks in the big conferences cannot possibly imagine that a building program (and Coach Pete, an incredible, amazing build it has been so far) might not come from the ACC, SEC, or whatever wink wink cash in your pocket league is considered big time.

I will be most upset if we end up at the "cute" table with the other non-latte contender TCU at the Fiesta. We're both good enough to take Florida, or Iowa, or whatever.

Everyone seems to know everything about how bad BSU would do, until we get the chance, then the east coast sports writers just say it's happenstance.

Whatever. This non-sports fan yet Bronco's fan loves what Coach, and Kyle (and wonderful family), and Moore, and Brotzsman, and Pettis, and OMG so many other good players have done for this city, our university, and our civic pride. If the pros don't see you for what you are, here's one Boisean that welcomes and honors our wonderful grads and students, and hope you stay to make our fair city even richer with your pride, hope, team dedication, and amazing personal growth.

Go Broncos!

Your take is well informed, indeed!

Moore threw for 272 yards in less than 3 quarters and overthrew 3 deep balls to Young. I really don't see your issue.

amazingly, 100% of the football world feels coach petersen is doing a fine job. everyone except tet and the haters.

a shot at a BCS AQ Team. Anything less is a BCS diss.

I think TCU would be the best opponent BUT...
TCU A) should be playing for the NC (anyone really think they could not have beaten Texas? Or Florida or 'Bama?)
B) They deserve, by way of competing undefeated for the entire season, to play a high profile game - as do the Broncos
C) The Broncos would be snubbed again if they play TCU (regardless of outcome) by AGAIN not having the national exposure they deserve by playing an AQ team (and please, let's not even think about Cincy! They're lower on the BCS totem pole than we are).

It warms my heart to know that there are still people out there that think they know how to better run the Boise State team than this coaching staff. Thanks sooooo much for the insight. I personally don't know what I would do without your second guesssing. I hope coach Petersen is paying you well, (he is paying you, isn't he) ?

Tcu in the fiesta I'm probablly going to cancel my reservations that I have in Glendale! I love BSU and it shouldn't matter but this would be a huge slap in both programs faces. I just hope the fiesta realizes that the only people that would be interested in that game are from Idaho and Texas. Please Fiesta bowl officials don't let it happen.

The BCS would love it ... two non BCS programs playing each other. No good at all. First of all, the national television draw would not be good. Sorry, just fact. Not too many on the east coast, where the largest concentration of 'eyeballs' are would be real excited about watching TCU against BSU. It doesn't matter that they are both undefeated, at this point neither is going to win a national title. Both TCU and BSU MUST play a BCS conference school so they can get the recognition they both deserve. The east coast based 'talking heads' would give a TCU-BSU game a couple of 'courtesy' mentions and then move right back to talking up the 'big boys' games. I don't care if the winner would end up #2 -- #2 is about the same as #8 when all is said and done and those 'experts' know it. If TCU and BSU can play and beat teams from an 'elite BCS confernece' it goes a WHOLE LOT further than a win over a non-BCS school like BSU or TCU. Just fact.

Wouldn't two Non-BCS team wins in the BCS BOWLS against THE BCS ELITE expose the fake privilege.. as two Non-BCS teams make the cut for the first time and are then marginalized by the BCS in a attempt to protect its IMAGE by playing them off against each other. It's just soooooo transparent!

He hit the nail on the head. Face it, even with all the success TCU and BSU have had this year and in previous years, most of the nation still sort of looks down on us as inferiors. TCU (or BSU for that matter) would benefit more and get a lot more recognition by beating Florida, Penn St, or Iowa than by beating a fellow non-AQ (even if that non-AQ is higher ranked). And personally, for me as a fan, I will not be that excited for the "rematch"...and I won't even consider going to the game.

said earlier if they schedule TCU vs BSU in the fiesta I'm canceling my reservation fro my hotel. I would do it becuase I would not want to support this crap of a system. I truely love BSU and hope they would do well but I couldn't support the BCS doing this, to quite the critics and protect elitism.
