Boise state

Well.. All I know is that they would beat the crap out of us.


Theyve smacked the PAC-10 around in recent years.. The only teams that could beat them this year are Stanford and Oregon. And they beat up on Oregon a few times recently.

On a one game, have all year to get ready basis there aren't a lot of teams they couldn't beat. Problem is one or two games doesn't make a season. Let them play a schedule week after week of teams that have linebackers who weight more than 210 lbs and who have depth and speed and all of the sudden they don't look so good.

Boise has no argument for NC game status, they play a bunch of byes in conference which is bad enough. If they want some credibility cough up the bucks or go on the road and play more than one decent team a year OOC. In recent years they have loaded up on Miami (OH), Toledo, Bowling Green, etc. At the minimum do what Fresno did a few years ago looking for credibility. TCU and Utah did the same in their pursuit of BCS conference status and it worked. Boise continues to beat up on the little sisters of the poor and whine.
 
Actually, the better question is: if BSU played our schedule this year, how many Ws do you think they'd have?

Five, six, seven? Maybe.

In basketball? You are smoking something. They got beat by Nevada last year and talked about being worn down. On a one game basis they can play with anybody, they don't have the depth, they don't have the elite level athletes. Make them gameplan every week and play with their backups after key guys are hurt and they lose and lose regularly. I'm not saying they lose 8-9 a year but I think winning 8 a year would be a stretch as well, more likely 5-7.

Teams like the sheep are how they win 10 games a year, by the time they play them the sheep season is already done. Boise has much better athletes and their system, they win big and act like they just beat LSU or Ohio State.

5 wins makes it sound like you're the one smoking something. Boise is a good program with good athletes. They do beat good teams and often. The not playing anybody argument is like saying Nebraska and Oklahoma didn't deserve to play for national titles back in the day because it was them and the little 6 most years, and they never played anybody in OOC. Boise is SOLID SOLID SOLID SOLID.

The little six was never Louisiana Tech, San Jose State, New Mexico State, Utah State, etc. Not making an arguement that teams from major conferences haven't taken advantage of some weak teams on their schedules but other than the one or two name opponents they play each year Boise is not far from an FCS schedule.

I can name at least 40 teams in the country that given Boises schedule would win at least 8 games. Give Boise a schedule in a real conference and I have no doubt they lose at least 3 and more likely 5. Not a bad team but certainly not a BCS bowl contender.

Try 10 maximum. But in reality they'd win 8 or 9 with our schedule. I think they're a pretty good team and nobody else on here is saying they're aren't. They simply don't belong in the MNC discussions.

Saying they're a 5 win team is saying they're not a good team.

Actually that is not true about Nebraska's non-conference schedule back when it was OU, NU and the little six. Nebraska's OOC schedule only weakened when their conference schedule got stronger in the Big XII.

In the early 80's for example, this is what Nebraska's non-conference schedules were like:

1980:

09/13 Utah Lincoln W 55-9 8/ 75,526

This isn't about your team and no one cares about Nebraska.

This isn't about kNU except that someone tried to use the corn schedule as a justification to put Boise in the NC discussion. As bad as some of the big 8 teams were they were still significantly better than the bottom of the WAC in the past few years and as bad as some of the corn OOC schedules may have been they never dropped the corn anywhere close to the pathetic schedule that Boise tries to get away with.

Overly dramatic much? Nebraska's old non-con schedules were brought up because Boise has an easy conference slate like Nebraska used to (except for the OU game) back in the old Big 8.

I was only pointing out that Boise really needs to schedule 4 BCS conference teams in their non conference to be taken seriously. Not just one or two. Their conference schedule is extremely weak.

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Boise would kick the cornhuskers to the curb this year and you should troll some Iowa or Indiana board, loser. Boise will end the year at 2 or 3 in the BCS. Their Dline totally overwhelmed UGA Consider BSU lost their OC to Texas this year and haven't missed a step on offense.

Never said Nebraska would beat Boise. Problem with Boise is they play one decent OOC game and spend all off season preparing for that one game. Georgia sucks by the way they were like 6-7 last year and lost to CU. Using Boise's victory over Georgia to show how awesome they are is weak.

lets see the huskers non-con schedule from 1988 through 1994. you care to provide that info?
 
I wish the Buffs could play as well as Boise State, and I wish we had Peterson and Hawk we could have been good.

Its not that big a problem when they aren't for size 48 asses. Not that you would know.
 
Thats bull****, I remember Nebraska playing crap schedules before the big 12. Plus, the games were mostly in Lincoln OOC or not. Hell, 1985 all of them were. Too bad Pacific doesnt have a program anymore but wth we'll play Chattanooga High instead lol.
