They have earned the right at this point to being treated with the respect that a home-and-home would entail


No they haven't. Why wouuld they? Because they finish in the top 10 every year with that joke of a schedule? Color me unimpressed. As has been noted, look what's happened when they've actually manned up and left the confines of Boise. 48-13 beat down in Athens in 2005. 41-14 in Arkansas in 2002. 32-13 in Columbia in 2001. They don't deserve equal respect because they get up for 2 games a year when SEC schools have to get up for 9 or 10.

I won't have a single shred of respect for Boise until they adopt the Fresno State mentality- anywhere, anyone, anytime. Fresno doesn't care who it is, they'll go on the road. They don't win a ton, but they ain't scared. Boise is scared. Of course they won't ever change their ways because they don't need to, they're GUARANTEED a BCS bowl every year if they win their 1 hard game on the schedule.

They DO have that mentality. Have you even been listening?

Either offer to play them or stop bitching about their weak schedule....you can't have it both ways......

And those losses you cited in the early 2000's were before they started being ranked really high......

When I see evidence that 4 or 5 SEC schools have offered them home-and-homes but were turned down, then I will go along with you, but until I do, you don't have a case.......

I personally am so sick and tired of this holier-than-thou attitude from SEC fans that I could puke......most SEC schools play no more than 1 game per year against any good OOC teams and then they want to be given automatic berths in the NC game simply because they were the best team in their own conference.......
