i guess hawkeye fan Ember Reigns is happy tonight
If any team other than Boise State gets the #1 preseason rank next year it will simply provide an exclamation point to all the rancor about the whole BCS fiasco. They have 21 of 22 starters returning next year. They have proved themselves on the field and met every challenge. They should not be denied. Name a team who should be ranked ahead of them and tell me why if you disagree with me.

im a die hard bama fan, but i think florida should play boise and the winner of that game play the winner of bama texas game when the smoke clears we will KNOW who the best team is this year....but i know that is to easy :dunno:
They might be able to count, but they do need to study up on geography. Phoenix, Tucson, and Pullman, Washington are nowhere near the Pacific Ocean.
It's the PAC-10, as in Pacific, as in region. It isn't the PAC OCEAN-10. And, Pullman is less than a day's drive (about eight hours) to the beach. Phoenix and Tucson aren't much further.
Anyhow, I was just making a snarky comment. After our dismal bowl season, it's all we have.
It seems to me that if TCU won, everyone would be clamoring for a PLUS 1 game after the Tex/Bama showdown. So why doesn't everyone (in the nation) give the same credit to Boise? Maybe TCU really is a good team and 'had their hearts broken' that they didn't get a shot at "a real team" in the BCS. Boise should not apologize to anyone and especially not to TCU. Boise shocked the world by beating Okie but that win also came with Style--the trick plays--the marriage proposal. Even the cynics around the world had to smile at that game.
Why is Boise getting criticism for calling a fake punt against TCU? It's a brilliant, gutsy call in a major bowl game, and it worked? :dunno:
In this sham BCS system we have, the winner of Bama/Tex probably should be Preseason #1. In the words of Nature Rock, to be the man, you gotta beat the man. But absolutely Boise should be preseason #2 and no lower....
Atleast ESPN is consistent with their shoddy BCS post-game coverage. Iowa/GTech was quickly removed from the lead story once it was announced that Shanahan took over the Redskins job (12 hours earlier) and once Randy Johnson announced his retirement...
Did ESPN remove Corso from the BCS coverage? I found it strange to see John Gruden in there instead of Corso. I hope ESPN didn't feel the need to bring in an NFL analyst because that's pretty much all Fox has...:dunno:

I hold no special affection for the words or label Pac 10 and would like to see the Pac 10 expand to 14 and go with Pacific Region Conference or the Wild West Conference
They are? WTF? That play was sheer genius, and so beautifully executed that it should make every football highlight reel ever. The kicker threw a gorgeous pass, in the face of a defender, and made the completion to keep the drive, and win, alive. That whole situation was exactly why football is the greatest sport ever played, and anyone criticizing it doesn't know jack about the game, sports, athletics or life. So fuck 'em. Boise rocked.
My sentiments as well. I'd just drop the number altogether, expand to twelve or more (Boise St and Utah my picks) and be the Pacific Conference, with a northern and southern division playing a championship game which rotates between L.A., San Francisco and Seattle. If the Special Ed Conference can do it, so can we.
Why not Phoenix/Glendale?
North---Washington, Wazzu, Oregon, Oregon St, Boise State, Colorado, Utah, Stanford
South--USC, ucla, Arizona, Arizona State, Hawai'i, BYU, Cal, (UNLV or SDSU)
If the Pac10 brought in these teams, they could copy the Big 10, start it's own TV network and make way more money than the Big 10 :thefinger
(look at those large TV markets....)
