Correct me if I am wrong...

This points to a huge pile of BULL SHIT CONFERENCES.

I believe Boise is the first and only team to ever play in a BCS game not from a BCS conference.

Urban Meyer's Utah team beat Pitt from the Big East a couple years ago in the fiesta.

That being said, that was the VERY average champ of the first year without Miami & VT pre-Louisville Big East, so this is the first REAL BCS win... against legit big time competition.

So you are discounting Utah's team..., very nice. I don't care, because Utah played everyone on their schedule, beat them and then beat the crap out of PITT. Wasn't even close, so in my eyes, that one counts just as much.

Yes , your right I forgot all about that game. I wasn't one of the 10,000 people who actually watched that game on TV :lol:

NT03, no offense but anytime a non-BCS beats a BCS it's good for UNT, especially in a bowl game.....the BCS is a monopoly/communist plot and we need to defeat it at every opportunity.....Utah deserves their props just like Boise

Yeah, you know, if we are going by the strict definition of communism, WE are actually the communist ones. We want to overthrow the Bourgeoisie Championship Series with the rest of the mid-major proletariat. We are tired of being exploited and looked down upon, and the Fiesta Bowl was like the Bolshevik Revolution. As I understand it, the Bolshevik Revolution was also forced into overtime by a crazy last second hook and ladder play. True story. Or maybe I'm just loopy from staying up to watch that crazy crazy game.

---- I remember watching Utah beat the absolute tar of A&M that year in the opening game... The Aggies looked awful... They were not very good but they were not as bad as Utah made them look.

---- The Utah QB that year was Smith... now the QB of the 49ers.

---- Utah deserves lots of credit but their coach left the following year. Can't remember who it was.

The coach that year was Urban Meyer, now the head coach at Florida. Utah was the real deal that year, and the game against Pitt was an absolute blowout. Even though Florida is the underdog, don't count Meyer out.

Discounting Utah?? Not at all.. in fact, I thinl that Utah team was better than this Boise team, IMHO. I'm just saying this was the first true "Mid-Major beats a title contending, top-flight BCS school" BCS bowl that we've had. Most people I knew PICKED Utah over Pitt... Utah was ranked top 10 at the time, I think Pitt was high teens or twenty-something. Utah's win was just as important because it prevented the "see.. see... Mid-Majors can't even beat a low ranked 3 or 4 loss BCS school in the big game!".... But Boise, last night -- not even in the same league. They beat a team that was one bad call away for possible being in the national title game. A top 5 team. A game that will be remembered for years. Hell, most people out there had already forgotten that Utah/Pitt game...

f'n commies. f'n nazis

they were nazis, Walter?

Oh c'mon, Donnie! They were threatening castration!

...later

And also, let’s not forget - let’s not forget, Dude - that keeping wildlife, um, an amphibious rodent, for, um you know, domestic, within the city - that ain’t legal either.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
