IDK that one either. We only saw their stadium/field when we were in Boise several years ago.

Kin-tucky bluegrass actually looks a lot more green to me than it does blue.

As in the cars?

Yep. He's internet sales manager at Modern Infiniti in Winston-Salem. He called earlier and said he would be working til 8:30.

IDK the answer to that one but they must be pretty good at it. Have you seen their W-L records the last several years?

Their record is quite good, no matter what color field they play on.

Well, it's not a requirement.

I rarely pull against ACC teams (except for the holes down the road) but I almost hope the Hokies lose so they'll lose those awful uniforms.

When we spent the night in Boise several years ago, we made sure we toured the campus, well, the FB field/stadium. We had to ask one of the students if their FB field would be blue at this time of year (we visited in July, IIRC) and he replied to my wife, "Yes, Ma'am, it's blue all year." We figured they just painted it for FB season. What a couple dummies we are.

That's what I would have thought, too.

Boise State had this under control early. VT now leading, a serious reversal of fortune.

Like one of the posters OY, when I first saw the title of that thread, I thought it was a poll to get rid of the men's a capella singing group.

Hey CB&B - when are you going to whip out my new addition to your vocabulary ;)

Alrighty. Who has the time machine?
I wanna go back and do Labor Day all over again. I got fruits, nuts and candy in my stocking.

What a disappointing ending for the Hokies. They played their butts off to come back, and then lost because they, once again, have receivers that can't catch when it really matters. And no, I'm not talking about just the one play at the end. There were SEVERAL drops that would have led to potential scores. Not to mention a HORRIBLE personal foul call on Boise's last drive. Not saying they wouldn't have scored anyway, but as a former player, that call was AWFUL. I'm sorry, but when a guy steps ONE foot barely out of bounds with another player COMPLETELY shielding the defender's, then comes back in and tiptoes down the sidelines with 95K people screaming, he's NOT gonna hear the whistle unless the refs are running toward the play doing their hand waving thing and blowing the heck out of their whistles. The Bronco receiver totally baited him into that hit. That call had me jumping up and down.

And the sports shows this morning have done nothing but talk about how awesome VT's new unis were last night. I kinda liked them myself, but I'm partial to black.

The question is, can Boise deal with the pressure that's gonna mount throughout the year, or are they gonna blow it against one of the cupcakes on their schedule? They've got the hopes and dreams of EVERY school in EVERY non-BCS conference laying on them, and they're gonna be the favorite in EVERY game this year, a HUGE favorite in most of them. Can they avoid the USC syndrome of blowing it against a mediocre team halfway through the season in that pressure cooker that's just gonna get worse and worse as the media attention and pressure ramps up? They're lucky they have so many cupcakes on their schedule, or I can almost guarantee you they'd blow one.

The Boise State haters in the media are out there because they weren't dominating throughout the entire game. For what it's worth, I don't read many sports articles these days. They are overly agendized(okay, that might not be a word.)
