Boise hook and lateral!

CRAP!!! This is what I get for going to bet early with Boise killing the Sooners.

A. I am thankful for the free tickets from my neighbor.

B. I am thankful that I stayed until the end.

When Florida beats Ohio State, Boise State will get the championship. Michigan was ranked too high. USC didnt have much trouble with them.

1) It is at least comparable to the OSU Miami game, and in many peoples opinion better (maybe not yours)

2) Oklahoma wasn't all that good? How do you figure...they were the Big XII conference champions. They went undefeated down the stretch after losing their Heisman trophy candidate (who by the way was back for this game, and Boise still beat them)and even if Boise St. does play pansies most the year (Hawaii 41-34, Oregon State 42-14, now Oklahoma) they beat every single team they played what more could they have done?

4) How can you say Ohio St. is heads and shoulders over BSU? I hate to play this game but at least give it some thought BSU destroyed Oregon St. (42-14) but Oregon St. beat USC who of course destroyed Michigan and its not like these are some run of the mill programs we're talking about its Oregon St. USC and Michigan. Did I mention Hawaii and Oregon St. were both winners in their bowl games. Its not that crazy to say BSU would have a shot a shot a shot against OSU.

Guys I loved this game. But last years NC game with TEXAS and USC was the best college football game I have ever seen. And I even will put the OSU Miami game ahead of it where Mcgee tore his knee

Some other heart stopping Bowl Games.....

USC losing to Texas last year was a fantastic game, but the way the BSU OU game ended was so dramatic.

BSU is up by 8...OU drives 80 yards in about 1 minute to score, then they miss the two point conversion but get another chance because of the penalty then get the two point conversion but have to do it again because of another penalty...when they finally got the two point conversion you could see all the boise state fans mouthing the words oh no

...then on the ensuing drive boise state has a chance to go the length of the field with about a minute to go and OU gets the interception return for the touchdown on the very first play. .everyones thinking game over the boise state crowd is dead silent just shocked.

...boise gets the ball back with 54 seconds to go down 7 and on a 4th and 18 play trys a hook and lateral that goes in for a 50 yard touchdown and scores with 7 seconds left...then in OT first and only OU offensive play Adrian Peterson scores a touchdown.

...BSUs turn they pull out every trick in the book and manage to get down to the two yard line for their final play...quarter back Zabransky goes in motion to the left while their wide reciever takes the direct snap he runs right as if it was a designed run, then floats a pass to I beileve their tightend but I remeber his number is 91 anyway they score and decide to go for two...

Statue of Liberty play running back johnson runs the ball in and promptly proposes to his girlfriend which of course she says yes

Mind you all these momentum swings and all this drama hapens in about 2 minutes of play...and its in a game were the underdog mid major wins a BCS game to go undefeated for the season...come on how does it get better than that?

had the girlfriend said no. Then it would have been perfect for the BSU team. They would have won AND their #1 running back would have avoided a life sentence!

It doesn't get much better than this!

Ha ha, that's pretty funny. It has to rank up there with the all-time best finishes given all of the back-and-forth action late, but I'd have to give it to the USC-Texas game as well. That game was for THE national championship, the grandest stage of them all, and, as such, gets the nod.

Gotta give Boise State credit though. They did everything they were asked to do. The coach who built this dynasty for BSU is now with the Golden Buffaloes of CU, and he will bring that program back to respectability, with a bowl appearance next year and then a team that can compete with the majors a year later. Rumor has it that CU's recruiting class is already #15, which is a HUGE improvement.

ha ha ha thats funny about Hawkins! He was a jackass! He was surrounded by great coaches who did all the work. Petersen is the man. He is humble and doesnt carry the arrogant attitude that Hawk did. Boise is much better off and will continue to dominate!

Dude, you can't use the x beat y and y beat z so x is better than z thing. It just doesn't work. It can work against you too. Oklahoma got it handed to them by Texas, and Ohio State KILLED Texas, so Ohio State should then KILL Oklahoma istead of having to get a two-point conversion in overtime.

To answer your question, Oklahoma wasn't that good this season because they lost 3 games. No major college football team is all that good if they lose 3 games. Period.

The Boise State win was exciting. I was rooting for them. But, it can't be compared to that OSU-Miami game. The latter was a National Championship game which went in to triple overtime. Also, that game was close the whole game, unlike the former. Boise State-Oklahoma was a great game, but shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath with the OSU-Miami game unless it's to say that "the Boise State-Oklahoma game was no where near as good as the OSU-Miami game".

You're right that Boise State couldn't have done more. Too bad for them. Those kids should have gotten scholarships at a BCS conference school if they wanted to play for the national title. It's fair that they're not in that game.

Did anyone notice the look on the BSU coaches face on the replay of the lateral? They had a camera on him and I thought he was going to have heart attack during the build up of the play.Gutsy call. That was a play that will get him paid in the future!

It was a great game, but OK is not a top 10 team.

I like how you say you cant use the X beat Y and Y beat Z logic and then you use the same logic literally one sentence later...and all I was saying is that Boise State would have a shot a shot a shot against OSU and they deserved at least a shot

Oklahoma had 2 losses in the regular season a controversial 1 point loss to Oregon...and of course the loss (where I guess they got it handed to them? 28-10 after a defensive fumble return for a touchdown) to texas

also I'm not saying you cant have an opinion if you like the miami OSU game better thats terrific..just dont tell other people they're wrong for having their own opinions on the BSU OU game being better

all in all you failed to convince me that BSU shouldn't/wouldn't have a shot at OSU

You're right Flagpole - nothing is ever remotely as good as OSU... your coaches, games, football teams, basketball teams....

How come every time someone brings something up sports related, whether it be a great game or a great coach, you always have to submit that OSU's coach or game or whatever is better. And you don't do it in a humorous, joking manner - you're always very serious and matter of fact about these things. These arguments are usually very subjective - arguing which game was "better" or which coach is "better" or which conference is "better." You refuse to see things from a perspective other than the one you create, and even when you're wrong, you find a way to "bend" your argument so that it appears that was your position the entire time. You're such a douche bag. I can't stand reading your posts. You're such a condescending, arrogant, passive aggressive prick. Seriously, I think you have some sort of personality disorder. I'm trying to help you out here, Willy. People such as you don't often realize how they are percieved, so I am telling you.

And I agree that BSU shouldn't get a shot at the national championship, but I'm not going to pass it off as some irrefutable truth, like you.

Peace out, brotha.

Please! If they got a call against Oregon, Oklahoma probably would have been playing for the national title.

You're exactly right. That was one of the worst calls I've seen in a game since Colorado got a fifth down. The refs admitted they blew it afterward. It was at the end of the game and it decided the game. OU was so mad they threatened to sue.

Yep, if it wasn't for that horribly botched call in the Oregon game, Oklahoma would have been 12-1 as Big 12 champs and been playing OSU on Jan 8.

What makes this a greater game than the OSU-Miami game is that it was such a cinderella story. How often does a team from a non-BCS conf get any respect and get into a BCS bowl game? BSU stunned the world.
