Virginia Tech - Boise State University Open Thread

PrintAt 5 PM PST on ESPN, we have one of the marquee match ups of this early 2010 football season. It has been a fun and interesting weekend to date. Hopefully, tonight's game will continue the tradition of tight games. One Bronco Nation Under God brings you everything you need to know about this game:
You know how Colin Kaepernick plays like garbage every year against Boise State? That's George Iloka's doing. Boise State likes using the sure-tackling safety to spy on mobile quarterbacks because Iloka is, well, a sure tackler. He may get the call to go at it again on Monday night, if the Broncos can spare him from helping in coverage downfield.
Virginia Tech's interior defensive line vs. Boise State's interior offensive line
Kellen Moore likes pressure in his face about as much as I like listening to Idaho Sports Talk. That is to say, not at all. If the combination of Will Lawrence, Thomas Byrd, and either Joe Kellogg or Nate Potter can keep VT's big uglies at bay, the Bronco passing offense will have time to click. Plus, as much as Boise State likes to get its play-making running backs on the edge, there will be at least three or four occasions where a tough two yards are needed to extend a drive. And those yards will be gained or lost up the middle. Preferably, gained.
Use this thread to discuss all the action and anything else that may pop into your head!

OK everybody:
1) Who are you rooting for?
2) Who will win?
I’ve pulling for the Hokies, but I think Boise pulls it out.

1) Boise. The closer we get to a mid-major in a title game, the sooner we get a playoff.
2) Pretty even.

Yeah, pretty sure. As long as the SEC keeps on ending up in title games, there’s no need for them to change the status quo.

Who do we need to win?
Who will benefit Cal and the Pac-10 the most?
Boise St win
If OSU beats them in a few weeks, it will be a huge win for OSU. If not, we already know that Boise St is a solid team.

OSU plays them? oh ok then.
BOISE STATE BABY!!
Has there ever been a worse uniform matchup between the two teams? I realize Oregon gives it a go every week, but Boise and VT’s unis both look just terrible.
I've been Honked...
Meanwhile the Boise St. uni's are horrible
while VT’s uni’s are ok.
VT’s uniforms look much better than their maroon uniforms, which burn the eyes with the fire of 10000 Sunshine Pumpers. I’ve never seen those Boise St unis before, but they are much worse than their usual ones.

It wouldn’t look bad (compared to their normal uniforms) if the orange was solid instead of that bizarre pattern.

Almost anything is better than maroon. What an awful, awful color.

still the color VTech used to represent them. What if Nike had Cal come out in all Silver uniforms? Wait, that actually happened. What if Nike had Cal come out in all black?
Ok, so how do you feel about the Sharks black unis then?

Oh yea question
how the hell has Boise St. been so good over the years without a top 25 recruiting class?
Because recruiting rankings don’t mean a whole lot? I’m willing to bet a lot of the correlation between recruiting rankings and success is actually reverse causation….

yea its pretty weird.
i guess this just proves that boise st. has a top 10 football program.
They are good. I would be interested to see how they could do competing with BCS schools on a weekly basis, rather than just having to get up for one or two games a year…

Cal Football: I loved them once and they broke my heart. Let that be a lesson to you. Never love anything.
Well here’s your quick recap:
Virginia Tech has thus far: fumbled a snap away to Boise, allowed an easy blocked punt, and had the same player run into the punter and commit a personal foul on the same play, thus extending an eventual boise TD drive.
And now they just missed a FG.

Also, their return man brought one out of the end zone to get tackled at about the 12 or so.

Everyone mentioning Gregory
Before assuming the duties as the Bronco defensive coordinator, Wilcox spent three seasons at California as linebackers coach. While coaching at Cal from 2003-2005, Wilcox helped the Golden Bears to three straight bowl games and 26-12 record. The Bears played in the Insight Bowl in 2003, the Holiday Bowl in 2004, and the Las Vegas Bowl in 2005. Wilcox was credited with turning his linebackers into a unit that epitomized the Cal defense’s swarm-to-the-ball philosophy. In 2005 he coached a second-team All-Pac-10 player and two first-team freshman All-America picks.

I dont think itll work, bc at 3D movies you are solely watching hte movie. However witha 3d tv you have to waer the glasses, but you afre often doing non-TV related things such as reading a book, making dinner, talking to friends. So, you would continually have to atke off the glasses et al when doing other things.

42 is a nice size. I’m watching one right now. I see no reason to buy a 3D tv at this point – with how fast technology goes it won’t be that long before it’s actually affordable. No point in spending absurd amounts of money now.

Yep I agree. I have a 32" that I got for $400 during my junior year of college. It was great for the small room I was in then now but now the living room in my apartment is too big for a small TV. Plus now I can afford a bigger one.
I’m definitely going for LED though. As for 3D the only use I’d have is… ESPN (maybe) and PS3. And I don’t really play my PS3 that much (I don’t want GT5 either)

I could go on forever about this, but the appeal was solely to get the injunction extended. Once the injunction was not extended, it was ultimately meaningless. The lower court did the finding of facts and the upper courts have to rely upon that. The lower court was PERFECT with creating the finding o facts.
So, the appeals ct looks solely at problems with the law. The Judge, RIP, did a great jbo of making sure she correctly applied the law and ther ewould be no problem. She gave the objectors every opportunity under the sun (WHICH ANGERED THE SHIT OTU FO US AT THE TIME!) which made sure the appeals court would find no problems.

Are they really complaining about the humidity? It’s what, 75 degrees with 40% humidity. Lame.

Cereal. Try being at that 2008 Maryland game. Damn, I’ve never been so hot and humid. And I grew up in LA and lived in the south for a while.

I experienced 95 degree weather with 85+% humidity for the first time a few weeks ago. It was life-changing. I cannot believe how unbearable it was. Way worse than 110+ weather in the deserts.

Life changing is a good way to put it. As a California native, you just can’t understand it until you go and experience it. It’s unlike anything I could have possibly imagined growing up in the best state in the country. Why everyone doesn’t live in CA blows my mind….

He’s at least better than Alex Smith.

Whoa whoa whoa. First of all, Alex Smith is awesome. Second of all, yeah, Rodgers is really, really good. But the question is, would he have developed the same in the SF situation? Especially with a coach like Nolan and a complete lack of talent around him, and getting sacked all the time?
by Missing Barry on Sep 6, 2010 7:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Fair enough, but Rodgers got sacked quite a few times at Green Bay in the past couple years without getting injured (probably because he’s a badass).

Va Tech is picking them apart in the secondary
Taylor should have even more passing yards but he has under throwen a few passes when the WR was wide open.
Tyrod Taylor has put the Virginia Tech team on his back.

I just didn’t watch that one. I guess his lack of arm strength and his happy feet have been off-putting to me. He does seem like he’s done a pretty good job hitting his receivers when they’ve been open, though. Not that they’ve been open as much as Boise St would like….

They’re #3 and play nobody else other than Oregon State. Unless Alabama and… whoever is #2 run the table, hard to see someone jumping them unless they somehow choke against their creampuff schedule.
“Choke” also means winning by less than two TD’s; if that happens, they’ll get docked in favor of a one-loss BCS team.
3 ref decisions probably swung this game
1) overturning block in the back
2) questionable late hit
3) no pass interference on the final play

I’m not trying to argue that it was 100% the refs, or even 50% the refs. But every iffy call went in BSU’s favor and it had an impact.

Now that the game is over, can we get an update on the important stuff:
Who won the hot cheerleader competetion
I have absolutely no problem saying Boise is #3
Because it’s taken them years to get to that point. VT shouldn’t have been in the top 15 to begin with, IMO…
California Golden Blogs! To be grammatically correct, it`s "Sacramento!", not "Sacramento".
Honestly, we should probably hold off on judging them for now. We really have no clue where they belong, beyond Boise St belongs above V Tech.
by Missing Barry on Sep 6, 2010 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions
Exhibition or not, it was still basically a home game for VT.
I only say BS could be ranked third because I can see Moore getting them places. Taylor, I consider another gimmick QB like Terelle Pryor or Vince Young. I don’t even see VT beating Miami.
California Golden Blogs! To be grammatically correct, it`s "Sacramento!", not "Sacramento".
Why do you consider being an athletic runner/passer a “gimmick” QB? I’d also like to point out that Miami has a “gimmick” QB, as well….
And why so down on VTech? We’ve seen them play one game, against a team that’s supposed to be really good. There’s a lot of football left to be played, we’ll see how it ends up….
by Missing Barry on Sep 6, 2010 8:50 PM PDT up reply actions
So...
why was that called as a late hit out bounds? Sure, the whistle was called, but the Boise State player was still playing as if it hadn’t been and was inbounds when the hit occured…
I think it was more a dead ball foul.
California Golden Blogs! To be grammatically correct, it`s "Sacramento!", not "Sacramento".
Well, I don’t think whether the Boise St player is still playing is all that relevant. If the ref blew the whistle, the play is dead. If the ref was right there and blew the whistle when he went out of bounds the first time (which was well before the hit), yeah, I understand calling that.
by Missing Barry on Sep 6, 2010 8:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Here’s the thing; if the offensive player didn’t hear the whistle and is still going, then I don’t see why it’s a penalty. The defense should be flying after the ball until the play has stopped. It hasn’t stopped if the offensive player is still going as if the whistle wasn’t blown.
It’s a foul because the play was blown dead whether the offensive player heard this whitsle or not, same goes for the defensive player. Doesn’t make it right or wrong, it just the way the rules are written.
California Golden Blogs! To be grammatically correct, it`s "Sacramento!", not "Sacramento".
As much as I think V Tech should have won, I’ll still be voting BSU as #1 in my blogpoll ballot
