Holy Crap! We love the Broncos!!!!

Jason lived in Boise for two years and acquired a distaste for BSU football fans. No more.

The 2007 Fiesta Bowl made us love the Mighty BSU Broncos. After blowing an 18 point lead against Oklahoma and finding themselves looking at 4th and 18 with 30 seconds left in the 4th quarter, Boise State coach Chris Petersen brought his pure brass balls to the fore and won us over.

First, they ran a hook and ladder that went for a 50-yard touchdown with 8 seconds left to tie the game. Seth and Jason jumped up and down hugging each other in the basement, while Saira shopped online, uninterested.

Next, after the first play of overtime put OU up 7 in OT, Boise State ran
an attempted HB passback to the QB and an end around counter play. At this point, we realized that Pauls Toutonghi was actually calling plays for the Broncos...and we loved every minute of it.

Then, they found themselves looking at 4th and 2 inside the 10. What do you call in that situation? Well, you don't bring your balls to the stadium in a dump truck. Mr. Petersen
put the ball in his halfback's hands and told him to throw it to the tight end. Touchdown. Kick the extra point and go to round 2 of OT. Wrong, BITCH! You put in your offense, go for two, and WIN THE FIESTA BOWL ON A GODDAMNED STATUE OF LIBERTY!

Saira still didn't really care, but BSU has three new fans, until they play the Huskies--next year.


Crap, that was short-lived.

Genius, genius, Genius. Best game I've ever seen, maybe the best college game ever though Duke UNLV in 1990 is a close second. I had to take a shot of whiskey to go to sleep I was so excited.

Not wtahcing that game in the basment has altready cast a shadow over my 2007. However, if I had not watched the game I would have done the honorable thing and shot myself. For I would not want to live in a world where I did not watch the game live.
