    One last point, I can't help my self.

    You said; "....we had 2 linemen go down with craps (Oregon's very own players were dropping for the same reasons too)".....

    This is the first I've heard of this being a problem. Diarrhea can be very disabling............:lol:

    Wrongo, GDF....

    Craps is a dice game ...from the French for frog (crapaud) it was the game the French Creoles played in the French Quarter in the early 1800's. The "Kaintocks" (Americans) called it Crapaud's game (shortened to Craps) in reference to the French habit of eating frog legs.


    Diarrhea is the "foie rage"...the liver fury !!

    I don't think Boise state wants to be in a big boy conference. All they have to do is schedule one ranked team a year and then run the table in their weak conference and they get national attention with talking heads saying they should be in the title game.
    Most of the time they play either a lower ranked team or an over ranked team with national name recognition( uga).
    They could probably play one game aginst a real powerhouse and do well. If they had to play teams like we do all year they could not compete due to lack of depth.
    Think if Boise had to play uo, bama, wvu, Florida,auburn Arkansas and on and on. They beat one half asz good team every year and then a bunch of earthworms like Louisiana tech.
    Boise couldn't compete in even a half asz decent conference like the PAC and contend for a championship regularly. If they played uo, USC, Stanford and the like they couldn't have the record they have. They have no heart for competion and are happy faking it every year.
    If they think they are all that let them schedule lsu or bama next year in jerryworld like the ducks scheduled us. I have no respect for a team that toots it's horn every year about being elite but won't get in a real conference out of fear of being exposed.

    I was there and can tell you for sure that the crowd gave the Oregon offense a hard time. Especially at critical times and critical plays.

    I could not hear myself yelling. My ears were ringing for a while after the game.:thumb:

    Interesting, I learn something new every day.

    Still confused on how a dice game, caused so many players to go down.

    Right-O! Boise will have to join up what's left of the Big XII (i.e. Kansas, K-State, Okla St., Baylor, TT)

    SEC is based on TRADITION. Boise has NONE...outside of football offers NOTHING....travel from Gainesville all the way to Boise for softball, soccer, et al. would be terrible!
