#3 Boise State vs. #10 Virginia Tech Open Thread

PrintThis game is being broadcast on ESPN from FedEx Field in Maryland. After years of flying under the radar college football is finally giving Boise State respect by putting them in prime position to go to the National Championship Game. A win against the Hokies followed by Oregon State in a few weeks time would set them up to be in the top 2 before their ridiculously easy WAC play.
I don't really know much as far as whom I'd scout on either of these squads but Virginia Tech has a great RB in Ryan Williams (sophomore) and according to their roster they have a tight end named George George. Tyrod Taylor is in his final year at QB and isn't very good but he's always good for at least 1-2 stupid plays per game.
Tonight is the biggest game of the early college football season and it couldn't come soon enough after a wave of absolutely terrible contests on Saturday and an exciting 51-49 game between Tulsa and East Carolina on Sunday no one other than me probably watched.

If that doesn’t work there are many more out there.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Tragic.
If you’re still looking go for Veetle.com.
Assuming you’re not familiar – you have to install their player, but it’s reputable and performs well. I’m sure one of the sports channels is playing the game.
Oh good, another box to put personal information in...
I'm not much for NCAA football
mostly because I live in WSU country but why didn’t Boise get a PAC – 10 invite?
Probably stupid question but I just wanted to know.
Punks jump up to get beat down.
It's all about the money
Boise State would not bring in nearly as much as Colorado or Utah.

Argh
Watching Navy/Maryland makes me realize how much I hate the triple option.

I have an unholy hatred for Boise State
I hate their turf, and I hate their faces. And I hate that they sometimes beat OSU. And I hate their souls.

I thought Saturday had some good games.
UW vs. BYU was good, even though it was a frustrating loss for the Huskies.
Oregon State vs. TCU was an excellent game to watch.
Pittsburgh vs. Utah (Thursday) was also an excellent game.
Jacksonville State upsetting Ole Miss was awesome.
LSU vs. UNC went down to the last play after a great 4th quarter.
There were a number of good games this last week. Much more than you would expect with a lot of ranked teams playing Division II schools. But tonight is definitely cream of the crop.
The non-Saturday games for the most part were enjoyable
But the televised stuff was brutal, even LSU/UNC which was sloppy as hell.

College football atmospheres are so awesome.

Alright, serious question and I need some input...
For my celebration/commiseration beer sunday night I have two choices.
1.) A “Grande Reserve 3 Monts Amber Sur Lie” from Brasserie de Saint Sylvestre.
2.) A “Trappist Westvletren 12” from Brouwerij Westvleteren
I forgot that song existed now that Alejandro is blasting through my head every day
Along with Eminem’s revival.

This game apparently is on ESPN 3D
Has anyone tried 3D viewing for any sports events?

curious about this also....I think the only way I'd be satisfied is if the ball seemed like it was going to jump out at my face
Or it felt like Mebane was going to sack my ass.
I'm interested in Austin Pettis.
6’3", 201, 4.51 forty. Caught 63-855-14 in 2009. In his three seasons: 158-1,887-29.
Red Bryant: surprise us!
Boise State has a lot more fans there than I thought

Hmm. I see the Bucs signed Blount.
I wonder if we put a claim in. They beat us to Lumpkin earlier.
Red Bryant: surprise us!
Chargers signed JT O'Sullivan
Quick! Someone poison Rivers’ and Volek’s food!

I heard from a VT buddy that they are supposed to harken back to the school's original colors (black and grey)
I can’t wait for the Beavs’ throwbacks saturday.
Yeah, they aren't too bad, too much orange for me though.
Boise st. just looks awful, hate they gray uniforms and the helmets are awful.
I think the "VT" symbols inside their numbers are really cool.
Plus I love the matte black helmets. Never seen a matte helmet before.
I guess we really were overpaying TJ:
The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran Wide Receiver, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, to a one year $855,000 contract.
Crazy.
Red Bryant: surprise us!
All of the above, I guess.
When I typed that, I actually had forgotten we were still playing his 7M. That said, I think he would have taken less to play for a team in the position Baltimore is.
Red Bryant: surprise us!
Becoming an accurate kicker seems like something you can practice and train for
I don’t get why its so volatile even in the NFL
Golf and Kicking seems so different to me.
You hit it with your leg, not a 3 foot extension of your arm. Though game time pressure is probably something that figures into it
So all this time I pretended I attempted the game-winning shot was for naught?

John if you're around did you find a stream?

He does now.
Copy directly from PFT’s comment section:
I’m a Colts fan, can shed a little light into the Raheem Brock situation. After the SuperBowl, Brock asked Polian for his release, as he wouldn’t ever be a starter with Freeney and Mathis in the lineup. Although he played a lot of snaps, in the joker role (lining up sometimes as DE, some DT, and even standing up a yard behind the down lineman), he was never going to get starter’s money.
He signed really late into training camp with Tennessee, two preseason games is not a lot of time to learn a new defensive system and impress the coaches. Brock’s solid and dependable, but not really a playmaker and never did anything that blew us away. Hence his approved release and the selection of Jerry Hughes with our first round pick. Still hoping he finds a new home with Seattle though.
Anyone see Julio Jones' sick one handed catch?
The man has talent.

Anyone notice the progression of Schneider's face from chipper to frazzled?
Oh hot diggity I’m hired!
Got to take a picture for the official site!
Boy this roster is short and slow.
Dang, this team kind of blows.
I’ve been up 79 hours straight.

Va. Tech is getting destroyed.

There should be a few others
Some of them you need to refresh

Well, so much for the football gods giving me respite before the Seahawks season starts
Time to start drinking
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
I'm not saying I can't be wrong
I just have a feeling that Russell will never play again
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
I don't know why he would ever play again.
He is monetarily set for life. But then again, so was Antoine Walker.
I'm no kicker but
It seems like comparing left hash v. right hash accuracy would suffer from some sample size issues
Oh good, another box to put personal information in...
Not saying
that kicking from the hash doesn’t make a difference – or even that kicking from the opposite hash doesn’t make a difference for this kicker. Just that when you make 14/14 from everywhere but the left hash and 4/11 from the left hash the obvious conclusion that you can’t kick from the left hash may be incorrect because the sample size would lead to a lot of noise. Without doing the math (lazy) I suspect that the split is more responsibly attributable to luck from the right and center and bad luck from the left.
Oh good, another box to put personal information in...
End-around with a white guy
That’s gotta be a trick play.

Damn
The BSU lineman actually had the ball squirt out from under his body.

Haha, that College Football Gameday commercial is hilarious.
“I love the Penn State whiteout games!”
Well for one thing Coach Holtz,
You’re so senile you don’t know the difference between Samford and Standford
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
Once the returner has passed you
Be careful when you turn to run after him, cuz you might get flipped
His own lineman may have knocked the ball out.

Va. Tech about to take the lead
We got a game!

Mora failed to see jennings lack of ball skills were equiptment related.
I’ll take him to the Dick Sporting goods tomorrow and buy his probowl ticket.
AT least FloTV commercial
Didn’t have Colonel Rebel on a leash like they did the Oregon Duck

If Boise State managed to make the BCS Title Game
Alabama’s defense will ruin Kellen Moore.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Running into the kicker/punter, roughing the kicker/punter should be eliminated
They need to take hits too.
At a minimum no running into the kicker/punter.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
It's not a problem on almost every punt/kick
it just always seems like a huge deal because when it happens it’s fourth down.
Yeah I hope it isnt
Tyrod is having such a good game Id hate to see him get hurt.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
So my dad and I just ordered season tickets to the Seahawks.
It’s awesome. Raises hand for a high five
*Steals tickets*
They’re going to the Lions for a 6th round pick.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
There's a game guys. It's a close one
I don’t need to see the announcers, just football.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
That's strange then.
I mean Boise State is obviously a well-recognized football team. And their basketball team isn’t terrible either. They’re better than Utah.
Its not about how good their team is
its about television money.
Boise is not a big TV market.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
I don't think that was ever even a rumor
I think that was wishful thinking by Donkey fans
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
No the Pac 10 wanted Texas more than anyone else
Boise State was never in the picture. They bring nothing to the table.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Terrible snap
Might as well try a fake field goal.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
At least they don't have that kicker that the Huskies had a few years ago.
He missed like three potential field goals in overtime in one of the Apple Cup games.
Off Topic
But the name of a series “Detroit 1-8-7” has got to be the dumbest name for a series ever. The Michigan Statute for Homicide is 750.316. So unless these are murders that occur in Detroit but magically fall into California jurisdiction, someone should be fired

He's been bailed out by penalties a few times
but yeah Im still in shock by that
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Also if this is the worst announcing youve heard
You obviously didnt want any games this weekend with Bob Davie or Pam Ward. Or any games with Verne Lundquist while Tebow was in school.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
I don't know how I feel about that call.
Back of the hand feels like an elbow touching down. I wonder if a new rule will be born.
Quite a bit better
This guy is not quite Mike Vick, but reminds me of this skills.
Watch for trick plays V-Tech
Don’t lose this game on some Mickey-Mouse bullshit
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
FIghters, coming in.
Pewpewpew p-p-pew!
Though they sink through the Sea, they shall rise again...Death shall have no dominion...
Well this sucks. BSU needs a miracle.
Guess I’m rooting for Alabama.

Don't give Moore a chance to drive
I wanted a safe, bone-crunching defeat dammit
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
Stupid stupid stupid
Tons of mental errors on special teams tonight.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Whoa. I thought for sure that was a penalty.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
If Boise State wins this game, there's a good chance I will develop a stutter
Puh-puh-puh please don’t do this to me
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
I'm rooting for BSU
But I think the refs are screwing Tech.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
At the point of the Va. Tech player attempting the tackle
Pettis was running as if he was in-bounds. Bad call.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They're media darlings though, if they go undefeated they'll probably get in.
The coaches already like them too.
They're really really good.
But any top 5 defense would murder Moore.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
I don't know, they snuck out a win against what might be the third best team in the ACC.
I just think it’d suck if they played two above average teams and got into the national championship game. Although if it helps blow up the BCS then more power to them.
Texas 41 USC 38
This was the greatest game I’ve ever seen.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
This man is an idiot.
Has he EVER picked Boise to win a game? Ever?!?!
