The 6th or 7th best team in our conference is the hardest team on Boisie's schedule. Doesnt that tell you anything?



Just for fun...maybe this will help him to see them side by side. I will use Auburn as an example. Go through a schedule like this, then come back and talk to us.

Auburn 2011

Utah State
Mississippi State
@ Clemson
Florida Atlantic
@ South Carolina
@ Arkansas
Florida
@ LSU
Ole Miss
@ Georgia
TBD Tickets
Samford
Alabama

Boise 2011

@ Georgia
@ Toledo
Tulsa
Nevada
@ Fresno State
@ Colorado State
Air Force
@ UNLV
TCU
@ San Diego State
Wyoming
New Mexico

That schedule is laughable.

Boise St. first started playing D1 ball in 1996.

Bama has been playing D1 (or the equivalent) since 1892.


Remember the superiority complex thing? Who cares about that, besides you.... and all other SEC fans?

Y'all should have done what we did and joined a major conference before television.

The Salt Lake TV market is much bigger than the Boise TV market. Denver's TV market is, too. More viewership in those two areas.


You must have forgotten that Boise is not a research based university and that you have no endowment to speak of. Not to mention you play in a tiny arse stadium with a track around it.

They would've had to stop being a Community College a long long time ago for that to happen

Boise is 40 years removed from being a Junior College, good luck getting invited to the Pac-12.

oh and South Carolina 1-0 all time vs Boise.

Boise is a fad. They'll never get invited to a big conference. They don't have enough fans. Hell half the state of Idaho hates them and there are only 1 million people in the entire state.

The only people that even root for the junior college that is BSU are the ones that go there now.

University of Idaho has more fans than BSU by far.

Everything. You would know this if you knew anything about what conferences are looking for. Hint: It doesn't have much to do with football.

A helluva lot. Bringing research based universities into a conference brings in more revenue for the conference, along with more academic clout.


It's all about money, and you have none.

Pac-12 has academic standards (not like here down souf)

The teams that are all admitted are researched based universities with a certain certification (can't remember what it's called) But from what I've read it will take quite some time for Boise to accomplish that.

We would go to PAC-10 if there was an invite, but there wasn't one.


As an Oregon resident, I would love to see Boy-zee in the Pac 12. We need more games that end in sucker punches in this part of the country.

But Boise State doesn't bring enough to the table outside of football to get an invite to the Pac 12. There are sports other than football, you know, and the snobs in the Pac 12 like to think they have high academic standards as well.

Just be happy with what you have and quit whining.

HA!

You...YOU are comparing the programs.

To accurately compare two or more things you need to have quantifiable factors which to compare.

I'm simply COMPARING one of those factors.

If you don't see the relevance of how one school playing D1 ball when Jesus was sneaking wine into the stadium hidden as water in the bladder of a goat, while the other has been playing D1 ball since the Fox News Channel has been on the air - then that's your fault.

But you're fricking crazy if you think that means Utah as a program is anywhere near comparable to Alabama as a program.


Not saying that at all. Just saying that the SEC does not win every game (not even Alabama).
