Vandal sports
Submitted by pevboi on Thu, 10/11/2007 - 9:56am.
Hmmm, this site's as empty as the Kibbie Dome.

So is the "Message to our soldiers at home" page...
Why don't you spend your precious time there instead of waisting it here, or is it more fun to be on the blue-orange bandwagon (everyone likes a winner)! You just wish you had the opportunity to live the campus lifestyle where someone like Boise Truck Driving JC (nice, the Roaddy's Truck Stop Bowl) was never even a concern - bigger fish to fry...like dances and social events! Would be nice to compare college life stories, wouldn't it! This is your chance to sound off about all of your football-related/recent memories; well, guess what, we have those, too - both the good and the bad, among many other great life's lessons attained in a true campus environment - can't put a price on that! You are funny, though, I will give you that...ha ha Kibbie Dome...lol! Too bad it looks so nice on that beautiful campus, right next to the rolling golf course and the Arboretum (you wouldn't know what that is) - just a little bit more grass, a few more hills, a couple more trees and a lil' less concrete than yours...Go Vandals!
Bowl
At least we got a bowl game at our turf who would want to go to ugly u of I and play in a dome that cant even seat as many people as BSU takes to away games i mean come on pretty pathetic BSU gets more on the Road then at UofI good thing the game this year is at Boise
I knew you were going to say that!
Lol...learn how to write and use proper punctuation before you put your neck out there. Guess is you have a high school diploma, and are darn lucky to have that! All the power to ya this year at the Truck Stop Bowl on the smurf turf!
i knew you were going to say that
Sorry i didnt realize i was posting this to my english teacher. You vandals can have all the luck you will need plenty of it this year also in basketball too you guys too where picked to finish last. At least we go to a Bowl game every year when was the last time you Vandals where at one????
I like that, jjenkins66.
I like that you criticized him for lack of proper puncuation, then posted an atrocious smathering of improper usage yourself. You've got a serious superiority complex for nothing.
...Vbron, 2020...
Better that time...
But still not very good! Maybe you should send your comments to your English teacher first, or did you ever have one; if so, they did not do a very good job?! Maybe you should take a class at your beloved Boise State, then you can be a true fan...you know, one who actually went to school there! Or maybe that is where you received your English instruction. And no, we are not Ivy League, but we are better than you...and we could beat those schools in football, too. Try again!

Yeah - try again, jjenkins66.
Those were just the obvious errors.

Must...control...laughter...
So Vandal football talk has degenerated to talk about grammer and spelling. How g-y. I guess there really isn't any football to talk about. Idaho is on a slow spiral back to 1AA ball and the Big Sky. I remember when they were the bullies of the Big Sky and were so arrogant because they used to play with the big PAC-10 boys (before it was called PAC-10). But they've been the punching bag in the WAC. I'll bet in 5 years BSU will be moved up to the Mountain West and Idaho will be back in 1AA ball. Who got the last laugh? Go Broncos!
Big Sky Bound
I agree. I watched the game last weekend (Idaho & San Jose State) just so I could enjoy another Vandal loss. I could hardly contain myself. It reminded me of when I used to go to the U of I in the late 70's. The Idaho football team sucked back then too. Man talk about flashbacks to the Big Sky era. I almost lost my lunch while watching the game. Thankfully I got out of Moscow before I could be fully "Vandal"-ized. I graduated from BSU and I'm working for an engineering company. Doesn't the U of I have an engineering program too? I'm not a truck driver nor have I ever been a truck driver. Does that have a familiar sound (Larry Craig)? Don't get mad at me truck drivers, that isn't a slam on you because I respect the work that truck drivers do. It's a slam on the esteemed Larry Craig, a U of I graduate.
Anyway, good luck in 1-AA ball Vandals. There is no shame in 1-AA ball if you can muster a championship at that level. Who else in the state of Idaho has won a title on the 1-AA level? Oh, it was Boise State in 1980 and Idaho State in 1981. Purhaps when BSU moves to a new conference, they will through the Vandals a bone now and then like they did for Weber State.
grad
I was wondering if you knew the " voice of the Broncos" was a UI grad?...that's ok..I don't like him either.
I must say, WOW
I don't know if you know, but the Mountain west is just as weak as the Wac..and they wouldn't stand much of a chance in the PAC 10. Just a note...Idaho has beaten Washington state. Boise State has not.
must control laughter
i would second that motion for IDAHO football to be moved back to 1AA. beat those school in football you guys stand no chance agianst the ivy league you guys cant even get past utah state in the WAC lets not humiliate yourselves anymore. We have one of the best win % programs in 1A and thats Thanks to you guys up at moscow we couldnt have done it without you guys thanks
Huh?

is dumb. Last I checked, the Mountain West conference is no better than the WAC! If anything, it would be a latteral move for BSU. Perhaps the move would be made in order for BSU to play more weak teams and then still be able to brag about going undefeated?
At least Idaho has the guts to play a real team like USC. Why is it that Idaho plays SC and BSU plays Never Heard Of It Tech...errr...Weber State?
I am not even a fan of U of I and I still respect their team more than True Blue!
Play some real teams BSU!
MWC NO BETTER THAN THE WAC?
I'd bet money that if the Idaho Vandals were offered an invitation to join the Mountain West conference, they would do it in a heart beat. Take the bottom four from the WAC and the bottom four from the MWC and play them together, I'd pick the teams from the MWC any day to win.
I kind of have to agree with you though on the MWC. I haven't been too impressed with that conference lately. After all, BSU hasn't lost to a MWC team that I know of. Granted they haven't played all the team in the MWC, just Wyoming, Utah and BYU.
I think we all can figure out how Idaho ended up playing UCS. Could it have been a deal with Nick Holt leaving the Idaho football program to BOLT back to USC? BSU tossed Weber State a bone just like USC did for Idaho. Yes, Weber State is a 1-AA football program and so should Idaho be a 1-AA program. There is no shame in that.
guts to play USC
you guys remind me of Fresno State trying to make a name for yourself you guys remind me of the 5'0" guy to goes to the bar and picks fights with everyone.Never going to win why try and be impressive by playing all these big time schools when you vandals cant even get out of the WAC with a winning record Vandals just admit the boys in blue are bigger,faster,stronger,more athletic, just plain out has more talent then you guys. Good luck when you come to Boise i will be looking forward to Another bronco victory. Also we do have the Third ranked defense in the nation behind LSU and Ohio State i believe. Maybe that will stop the bleeding.
guts to play usc
Third ranked defence playing the bottom of the PAC-10 lower half of MW, lower half of USA, and top dog in a sub-prime conference. Hmm maybe that`s why they are third. If USC was on there schedule maybe not so good uh.
kinda dropped
That ranking went out the window when Nevada came to town.
WAC vs MW - All About the Benjamins, dear Vandal boy
Spaceman21, I don't think you follow NCAA football. You're probably a geek. I guess OU isn't a REAL team?? Last I checked they were ranked in the AP TOP 10?!! Can you imagine the triple digit score if OU played Idaho??
Bub, 1A football is all about the Benjamins, especially at the BCS level. This equates to stadium size, ticket sales, and fan base. Period. If you check the stats on the schools and their stadiums in the Mountain West you will find that they sell $$ and seat about 20,000 MORE people on average than a WAC school. This equation works for TV viewership too. A BYU or Utah game is going to get WAY more viewership than an Idaho game.
BSU will continue to grow as Boise grows, and their stadium is being enlarged. Their popularity has exploded since the Fiesta Bowl (I know, I live in Phoenix). When was the last time the Vandals were on the cover of an EA Sports NCAA video game or the cover of a national BCS college football magazine? The Vandals are doomed by demographics, rising tuitions, and BCS greed, not to mention a lousy football program.
tripple digits
I can see the triple digit score now on Boise state this year if Oklahoma was to play them again. They aren't the turnover team they were in '06'
What U Talkin bout Willis?
Real teams?? Getting spanked on national TV by not only USC but ?NIU?, Least Cal Poly went down. This is the team U respect? At least BSU gave Washington a run for their money. Next year BSU will play OU who ranks right up there with USC in the polls.
Donald Trump
We need the Donald to sound off on U of I. U of I is a loser, they will always be a loser. U of I is very mad that they are ugly so they have to attack everyone else.
sounds childish
they are very ugly? Sounds like something a 5 year old would say.
Sounds childish
Just like Donkey State sounds childish. Sounds like something my 5 year old would say. Go figure.
Congrads Vandals
You made the ESPN bottom 10...Again!
Honestly
Really, Broncos...you just shouldn't post here. You make such asses of yourselves. Fitting that you are Donkeys, Broncos...ASSES. You all sound like a bunch of redneck, uneducated morons who patrol this site just looking for negative things to post about anyone. HONESTLY, between all the rednecks who have jumped on the ASSES(Bronco) Bandwagon, the disgrace that is Canyon County, and the wonderful Senator Craig...I am truly embarrased to say that I was raised in Idaho. It's no wonder we are the punchline to Saturday Night Live jokes. You people are the reason that when I was living elsewhere and people would ask me where I was from...the only thing they could relate to was the f'n potatoes. Embarrasing. I have lived outside this sagebrush infested desert and TRUST ME..no one gives a crap about your Fiesta Bowl win. 95% of people who watch these stupid games can't even point out Idaho on a map. Winning football teams don't define colleges. I'm so sick of this country placing more importance on competitive sports than on education. UofI is a great school, and I'm quite sure BSU is too. But no one says anything about that here...
Honestly
These forums are meant to be about sports. If you would like to talk about other things dont blog on to this Forum only a VANDAL would do something like that
Potty Talk by Vandal Boy!!
You naughty Idaho Boy. Learn some manners. GO BRONCOS!!!
Hmmm
Just keep proving my point....Ass.
Honestly
Your comments are sort of interesting. You imply that BSU fans patrol this site just looking for negative things to post about anyone. All you have done is belch out negative comments about BSU, the fans, the student body , the state of Idaho, the citizens of Idaho, Larry Craig, the potato and the Fiesta Bowl. You are just as bad as you claim the BSU fans to be. You mention "I am truly embarrased to say that I was raised in Idaho". Don't tell us you are back living in Idaho, a place that sounds like you hate. If you are, why did you move back?
You are correct about two things. Both the U of I and Boise State are great schools. I know because I have attended both. But if you will notice the heading it reads "Vandal Sports", not "Vandal Education". This is a place for fans to have a little fun to do a little trash talking. I agree, winning football teams don't define a college, but it is a big part of college life.
I can spot an uneducated redneck moron when that person starts calling people ASSES and attacking an simple potato. Up until now you are the only person that has started using foul language.
Honeslty
What? Last time I checked my Miss Manners handbook, Asses is not foul language, but ok. You claim this is a place for a little friendly trash talk, but the only thing you guys trash talk about is UofI, UofI being a loser, etc. Your "friendly" trash talking spreads through this desert valley like a bad wildfire. An old lady at my office told a story the other day that made me want to puke. She said she was in a store, wearing a UofI shirt (cause both her daughters attend UofI currently) and some piece of crap, Canyon County, white trash came up to her and said..."You've got a lot of nerve wearing that in our town." REALLY?!?! How completely inappropriate. And trust me, that's not an isloated case. I can name a dozen examples of so-called Bronco "fans" acting like morons over thier NEWLY successful football team. FYI BRONCOS - it's not your town. It's not a Bronco Nation. Thanks to your favorite Senator...the only thing people know Idaho for is wide stances. You're right...I should move.
Miss Asses
U complain about Canyon County rednecks to much. My guess is you are from the 1A where your sh*& don't stink. Get off your high horse, you actully sound like a thirteen year old, insecure little girl with pre-nubs that all the boys are making fun of. By the way all of Idaho isn't desert especially up at U of I but you wouldn't know b/c you are 13 and can't drive yet. Stay in ADA county. As for sports talk: Spartans 35 Vandals 12.
Miss Asses
It must be in the context of how you choose to use your language that makes it offensive. You sound like a really angry person. Have you ever thought about some anger management classes? Even the way you describe your co-worker tells us a lot about you, "an old lady". How do your co-workers describe you to others "the uneducated redneck"? I've always been told that someone that lacks education will resort to bad language and degrading comments about other people in order to try to make themselves look better. Believe me, you are no better than anyone, even the person that confronted your co-worker.
You are correct about the U of I shirts being worn and the comment made to your co-worker. It was inappropriate and a stupid thing for someone to say, but people are going to say stupid things. You can't blame everyone for that.
Keep your last comment in mind...really think about it. You'll be happier and so will all the citizens in Idaho.
By the way, did you happen to catch any of the games or scores from this last weekend? At least the Broncos make for an exciting game...sometimes. Too bad the BSU defence couldn't make it to the game last night. They should of come out of the locker room to watch, it got pretty exciting towards the end. See, even a die-hard Bronco fan can admit it when the team doesn't play very well. But looking at the score, one could say that Nevada's D forgot to show up too.
Anger... boiling... up... can't ... control it...
Seriously, BRONCO FANS, GET A GRIP!
As a Bronco fan, I'm ashamed at all these posts on here. This rivalry is OLD and it's beginning to smell!!! Get over it! We've been winning for almost 10 years now, why do you still feel the need to talk smack? Do you have some inferiority complex?
I had hoped the Vandals would do well this year. What we need is a strong Idaho team to re-spark the rivalry on the field not in the forums. We, as Idaho citizens, should be cheering for both teams! Can you imagine how awesome it would be if BSU and Idaho were #1 and #2 in the WAC, ranked in the top 25, and doing well? It would add value to our state, it would add value to the conference, and it would make for one helluva game every year.
Vandals, keep your heads up high. You go to a great academic institution. From a Bronco fan to all Vandal fans: good luck in all endeavors, both academic and athletic.
See you this weekend!
...Vbron, 2020...
Flip Flop Salesman
I hope you don't sell flip-flops for a living because you're not doing a good job of selling it in this forum. Where have you been for the past 30 years? This is what rival fans do. The problem appears to be that the Idaho fans still think there is a football program at the University of Idaho and that they are good.
That's not it
The problem is that the air needs let out of some heads. There is a team here that people seem to think can compete with truly upper class highly ranked dominant teams.
