Having fun, but not at your expense. There are, however, those whose reaction to the logical is that old standby, the irrational.
I hate making excuses but that game had the deck stacked against us from the word go. Their opening day, who's going to play QB for them? Lol that was a great ace in the hole for them.... Like they didn't really know! The dagger I thought was when the had the paraplegic "walk" on the field to lead them out. Holy crap there's no competition to that. just crazy energy there. Though I sigh when I think that it's probably always that crazy there. Far cry from our muted sit on your hands, maybe make it in for the second quarter crowd.
Carl Spackler needs to come in here and tell us all how the new big east will blow past the big ten shortly because of the vital Boise tv market.
I saw over 10,000 fans (maybe 20K) leave the Big House way before the game was over. Who would want to play in front of so many people that don't support their team?
Actually, not only has Boise become somewhat of a "national" brand, it also gives the Big East eyeballs on the west coast. Its not just the Boise market.
