FIESTA BOWL CHAMPS!

You know, I have always been a fan of movies and TV shows that really get you into the storyline and really toy with your emotions...BUT I have never seen anything that played with my emotions like the Boise State/Oklahoma game. By the way, check out the sledge hammer number 37 is carrying. That thing is awesome.

The first quarter was incredible as a seeming Bronco blowout was in order. That blowout survived for a few quarters until Oklahoma finally got some wind under their sails.

I always felt that BSU was in the game, but my heart had been fluttering since about 4 that day. My heart sunk was Zabransky threw that interception, but I still had hope that they could pull it out, because I had seen it before...I just never saw that hook and lateral coming. When the lateral occurred I jumped out of my seat screaming like a mad man. When that play happened, I really knew that we were back in this game and overtime was going to be interesting. Up to that point we had only shown one trick formation and that play hadn't even gone off. I'm not going to recount the whole game, but it sufficeth to say that this was an emotional rollercoaster of a game and by far the best sports contest I have ever seen.

This game has put BSU on the map. The game was a teeter-totter battle and it proved that we can compete with whoever you put in front of us. Let's hope that this game will prove that the smaller "mid-major" conferences deserve to be represented in the bigger bowl games and even the national championships. I am rooting for Florida in the National Championship, I want there to be only one undefeated team left standing.

Congrats to Ian Johnson, what a great guy. I'd also like to see the BSU/BYU matchup sometime soon as well. These chants from my Cougar buddies are getting a bit annoying, haha. Congrats BSU, it makes me stand just a bit taller being a Boise State grad. Thanks for the ride Broncos, you have made us proud.
