does anyone else agree about the Boise St. / OSU game?

I think another school going after him already would be premature. It is his first year as a head coach. Only jobs I know of that are open - MN and Alabama. I doubt he'd take either of those even if they were offered.

If he's able to do something similar in the '07 season, I'd be very surprised if someone didn't make a serious run at him.

My thoughts exactly........I never thought a play off was justified until Utah 2 years ago......... now after that Fiesta Bowl game a playoff is needed .....I have never been a fan of OU or Stoops......I really enjoyed that game and the play calling....

I started my DVR middle of 4 th qtr in case I went to sleep....how could any fan go to sleep watching that game.......oh my wife did..........still the EIU grad at heart and pining for Drew tate and his loss to Texas.......HA HA....she has so many issues

that won't happen. These guys aren't even his players yet. He didn't recruit them. If he continues this success in years coming, he will be popular. But he is definitely a hell of a coach

he still had to coach them though.....

Boise State is finally getting some respect, and they deserve to play for a national title. They won all their games, against WAC teams that went 3-1 in bowls, and they convincely beat a good Oregon State team, that by the way beat USC. Also the only WAC loss was Nevada, losing to Miami by only a point and having a good shot to win that game. To say their schedule was weak and they played nobody, just look at how these teams performed during the bowl season

Did you watch ND vs. USC last year? I could care less what ESPN has to say about it. Matt Lineart took a team on his back in the final 45 or so seconds to drive the ball 80 yards and then Pete Caroll pulled his own Boise State with a fake spike to roll into the endzone. There were plenty more lead changes in the game as well.

Was Oklahoma vs. Boise State an instant classic? No doubt about it. Claiming they aren't in the same league is ridiculous.

If anything it shows that it's time for a BCS conference to pick up Boise State not that we need a playoff system. Seriously, how many WAC games has Boise State lost since 2002???

I've gotta preface my comments by saying that I hate anything that has to do with Boise State. Of course that's due to Smirf Turf, Jim Criner, and the (In)humanitariam Bowl debacle.

That said, this had to be the best final 4 minutes of ANY football game (although Bart Star's sneak in the Ice Bowl was pretty dang awesome, too). Agree with clones_jer...it kept my attention to the end. Heck, any time you can watch Stoopid Bobby's Bummer Sooners take one in the shorts, it's must see TV!
