Boise, punks? Lack of class? Seriously what are you talking about? I have never heard anyone question Boise's class. They exemplify what is great about college football. They get the maximum out of their players and play at a very high level. A very tough loss for them in a game they should have won. Can you say sour grapes? Wow.
Then you don't watch them very closely. I have never seen a team that talks as much trash and taunts as much as that team. Remember the classless aftermath of the Oregon game last year? Also how about the reverse throw back to the QB against Louisiana State when they were up by like 30? Seriously dude, watch a little more closely. You could even see it in this game. At the beginning they were doing their usual after the play crap. It was great to see them lose that swagger as time went on.
Seriously, I have never seen a bigger trash talking team in college football and that includes the old teams from the U.
No doubt they are immensely talented. I just wish they could throw in a little more class.

It was so worth staying up to watch! Loved seeing them lose, I really do think it's great that Boise loses the last WAC game they will ever play! Plus they will not win the WAC and go to the second place WAC bowl game!! Love it!
You mean when LeGarette Blount punched the Boise player in the face? Yes, I remember that. Very classless of Boise to allow someone to sucker punch them. If you think Boise taunts a lot then you don't watch much SEC football.

Boise was never worthy of being in the title game over Auburn or Oregon.
They played a ranked team at a neutral site, won by three. They played a ranked team at home, won by 13. Then last night a ranked team on the road, Nevada no less, and lost by three.
That's half the tough outs you get playing a Big Ten or SEC schedule. Boise does not play a good enough schedule.
They are a very good team and in one off settings like bowl games, they are dangerous. But they are not the best team in college football. Probably Top Ten.

No way does Boise St. talk more trash than those 80's Miami teams. To suggest that is crazy.
But they do talk a lot of trash. I think a lot of that has to do with the "us against the world" mentality they have adopted. They went from being America's Darlings after the Oklahoma bowl win, to America's Most Hated when it became apparent that they could possibly make the title game. It seemed like they embraced that role.

No...........The Boise guy was running his mouth also, I'm not saying blount should have punched him........lets just say the Boise dude wasn't completely innocent.
Not only was the Boise kid talking trash but also hit Lablount on the shoulder pad first. Really didn't like the way that kid seemed to get a free ride on that one, especially because that is the way the team acted all game.
Really I have been shocked that this hasn't been more of an issue. They just seem to get a free pass because of their David and Goliath status. Well, the David comparison only goes so far.

Gotta call you out on that won, as long as they beat Utah State, who is 2-5 in the WAC, they will be guaranteed at least a share of the the title. That being said, they will not go to the second place WAC bowl game - Hawaii does not jump them (travel anyone?) and unlikely that a team selects Nevada over them. I really do not know or care about what type of tie breakers are used for the WAC title, and their is an outside change (very outside) that a BCS bowl still selects them.
That being said, I do not think they are worthy of the national title game (which was proven last night). But I did want to see them screw over the SEC by taking a spot over a one loss Auburn/LSU if it worked out that way.

Actually I think the kid deserved to be punched in the face and it was only a sucker punch if you are an idiot. You can't hit someone and then talk trash in their face and a second later get sucker punched by that person, that is unless you are an absolute idiot.
If Blount hadn't punched that kid Peterson wouldn't have done anything about his behavior. For me the issue isn't the punch, but Blount's meltdown after that.
That was classic. I still wonder if Scott Frost (the coach holding him back) was having flashbacks of Lawrence Phillips bashing in the door while he hid in the closet.
