Really makes the game more fun! BTW: Note also, for anyone whose counting, that in those games where BSU routed the opponents, their starters only played half to 2/3rds of the game.

This Bronco team, and its players, are ahead of where the program was 6 years ago. UGA can't get to .500 with Top 5 recruiting classes. yet their fans want to tout that superiority? Okay, roll with that.<br /><br />If Boise State was in the SEC? That's a mighty big if there son. You have to admit they'd benefit from SEC money, facilities, and so on to help with bringing in those recruits. That combined with the already world-class coaching and development that currently exists in Boise, and I think the SEC would have a wee bit of problem handling Boise State. Nevermind that they're neither South or Eastern.<br /><br />What UGA has going for them is past seasons of glory and winning. Unfortunately that does little to win games. Ask Notre Dame.<br /><br />I won't be so obtuse as to predict a beatdown, I think it'll be closer to what we saw against VA Tech. I will say that I'll put money on the Broncos to cover.Mikrinohttp://www.obnug.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517552774075359188.post-40182209526435112022011-08-10T15:35:44.389-04:002011-08-10T15:35:44.389-04:00Dear Georgia Fan,

Take great pride in your big recruiting victory.<br />As you are seemingly such history buffs, I implore you to tell me just how high the correlation is between the National Champion crowned each season and the "recruiting champion" crowned in the previous 4 years leading up to that National Championship?<br />You see, recruiting rankings and football success do not correlate 1:1. Kids are rated by websites looking to make money, and the kids are rated higher when certain schools with large fanbases willing to subscribe to the stupid services start to recruit said kid.<br />It makes you feel better to have stars next to your recruits names.<br />Sadly, it doesn't make them any faster, stronger, or better tacklers, rushers, blockers, receivers.<br /><br />The point is this: Unless you forget about the rankings of your recruits you are part of the problem with Georgia football. Your team will continue to meddle in mediocrity in pursuit of High Star kids with low moral fiber and an inability to put in the hard work when no one is watching that will put them over the top.<br /><br />Good Luck Sept 3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517552774075359188.post-7425422880202533712011-08-10T13:09:54.573-04:002011-08-10T13:09:54.573-04:00I guess utah is one of those little sisters of the...I guess utah is one of those little sisters of the poor or did you just purposely leave them out to pad you point?<br />Lets take a walk down reality road for a second shell we.<br />Nevada finished ranked 5 in the nation in Offense a school that knows Boise well they have a recent history of double and triple over time games even on the Blue , the final score there was actually one of the lower scoring games in their recent history.

Our coaches develop their players into elite athletes that are obviously better than your four and five star guys because Boise state actually wins their football games. And all you Georgia fans think that Boise State's defense has small players. go look at our roster and see for yourself. Our Line backers are bigger than yours, Our two starting d-tackles are 300 a piece with their backups who play just as much being 307 and 320. And Boise has beat teams from everybig conference but apparantly every time its just a fluke according to all those teams,but its really just not being able to face facts.

Peterson's game plan for big games has always been to run up the score in the first half and make the opposing team's offense one dimensional. This strategy wins more games than it loses but tough opponents usually mount a comeback in the second half.scobbybizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911364846818165417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517552774075359188.post-36808109103954369202011-08-10T11:50:28.111-04:002011-08-10T11:50:28.111-04:00I love when people look at scout.com recruits and ...I love when people look at scout.com recruits and assume they will be good.

Where's the MAC version? C-USA? Where are they? I mean, if it's so easy to beat up on little guys, where is the other "ok to decent" little guy beating up on his conference on a regular basis? It just doesn't happen. What Boise has done is no fluke. <br />Since 2000<br />69-2 at home<br />80-5 conference record<br />124 wins (most by any west coast team, USC is 2nd with 110)<br />112 wins from 2000-2009 (3rd most wins by any team in a 'decade' (from a 0 to a 9) only Yale and Penn have more from the 1890s)<br />Since 1997 (Boise became D-1A in '96 remember)<br />145-32 overall record<br /><br />Personally, I just don't see how people still see Boise as a fluke who had "1 or 2 good years".. it's simply not true. Heck, Boise, I believe since they were a 1-AA team to now, has won 71.5% of it's games. (365-145-1) (6th all time in %). That's clearly not a team who only had 1 or 2 "lucky" years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517552774075359188.post-8943262205893956592011-08-10T11:22:30.586-04:002011-08-10T11:22:30.586-04:00well, if you're going to compare similar score...well, if you're going to compare similar scores, why not compare the stats too?<br /><br />BSU Defense @ San Jose State (48-0 BSU)<br /><br />SJSU had<br />6 first downs<br />80 total yards<br />-12 rushing<br />0pts<br /><br />Alabama Defense at HOME vs. SJSU (48-3 BAMA)<br /><br />SJSU had<br />7 first downs<br />175 total yards<br />89 rushing yards<br />3pts<br /><br />of course, BSU didn't fair as well with La Tech as TAMU did..<br /><br />since everyone else is saying it..<br /><br />To be "honest", why would Boise even be in the SEC? Can you imagine that travel schedule? and heck, we all know teams in the SEC wouldn't want to go TO Boise, so it'd be all road/neutral games for the Broncs. I'd imagine most teams wouldn't fair too well in those types of situations. No home games, 2000 miles away for every conference game. <br /><br />also, "to be honest".. both sides of this argument can find stats that will support his/her argument...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517552774075359188.post-9285557985221682792011-08-10T10:44:48.998-04:002011-08-10T10:44:48.998-04:00To be "honest" if they were in the SEC a...To be "honest" if they were in the SEC and had the SEC funds with their coaching staff, there would be no chance for UGA.<br /><br />Gator fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517552774075359188.post-14901486504630010252011-08-10T10:31:25.338-04:002011-08-10T10:31:25.338-04:00To be honest if Boise St was playing in the SEC or...To be honest if Boise St was playing in the SEC or major conference they would not have 5 - 10 plus seasons or 2 BCS Bowl appearances much less wins.

You should hope Richt and his boys aren't following your same logic.<br /><br />Why? Well maybe because Boise State has continually beat teams in the last decade that recruit higher rated players than they do. Recruit rankings are monumentally flawed when a kid can go from 2 stars to 5 stars simply because USC or Florida offered up a scholly.<br /><br />That being said, UGA lost a bowl game 10-6 to a team with unheralded recruits. You shouldn't be talking up your team's prowess in that regard and expect to be taken seriously.<br /><br />Fact is, out of 120 teams, the Broncos ended up in the top 10 in several defensive categories. Not just Yards Allowed or Total Defense. Their D-Line are guys who had PAC10 attention but got hurt along the way in high school or some 5 star stud committed and the schools lost interest. It doesn't lessen their skill level when that happens, they get overlooked.<br /><br />One thing you can't and probably shouldn't deny is that Boise State coaches recruits well for their school and facility size, and they develop talent probably better than any other staff in the country. Let's face it, it's easier to do your job when you have Alabama or Texas emblazoned on your shirt. When it's Boise State, there's a lot of people who point and laugh. So it's that much more work to get the athletes and get what you want out of them.<br /><br />As far as the 2005 game, let's put this in perspective for the UGA fans out there.<br /><br />Everyone look back over the last five years of UGA and Boise State football, and tell me which teams accolades you would rather have.<br /><br />Be honest with yourself, is it the two BCS Bowl wins, the 5 10+ win seasons(3 undefeated regular seasons), the nations top offense, all with the mid level recruiting? Or do you prefer the mediocre 6-7 campaigns, and just not enough 8-4 finishes with the mid ranked offenses and defenses, and bowl losses to Central Florida, all with top level talent?<br /><br />To be honest, I'd be talking about 2005 too.<br /><br />Here's to a good game between two good teams, may the best one win...Mikrinohttp://www.obnug.comnoreply@blogger.com
