Off topic-BCS Congrats

[Kelvin green]

Congrats to Boise State and the WAC for winning the Fiesta Bowl. Hopefully with this one and Utah's in 2004, BCS will pay attention to mid majors in football

What a whale of a finish! Some great play calling by Boise State.

BTW, Utah in 2005, not 2004.

Your right it was two years ago. I was thinking end of season...

That was a phenomenal game! Probably the most exciting college football game that I've seen in the past five years.

Now here's another stat for the big boys from the power conferences. The WAC, a non-BCS conference, went 3-1 in bowl games this year.

BSU 43, Oklahoma 42 in OT
San Jose State 20, New Mexico 12
Hawaii 41, Arizona State 24
Miami (FL) 21, Nevada 20

Only a very athletic interception by Miami on their own 36 yard line with 20 seconds left prevented Nevada from probably kicking a winning field goal.

The little WAC was nearly 4-0.

I was at the Nevada game against Miami. I stayed at the Miami hotel-pure coincidence- but fun to be around the team and it's supporters for a couple of days. I am also a mid major supporter and I was by no means shocked that Boise State won.

I was at a Utah/Georgia Tech game last year when the Jackets were ranked #20 in the nation. Too lazy to look up the final of that Emerald Bowl but needless to say the 4th quarter was filled with chants of "overrated" from the fans in red.

For fans of Silver State girls basketball I saw Diamonte Ranch destroy Dayton at Diamonte Ranch. I didn't realize Nevada used 3 man crews. I thought for that game 3 man was a little overkill.......

We do and it is, but do you really think that they would let us work three on only the boys games?

If you can make it down, there is a boys tournament at Reno High this week. I have the 6:30 games on Wed and Fri.
