This loss hurts more than the ECU loss

last year.....might take some time for this basement-dwelling blogger to recover. At this point, I feel this loss is the worst loss since Goergia. I feel this loss devalues the momentum we gathered since the Fiesta Bowl. I am too shocked to share pics that have been emailed to me. Some of my friends think this pain will pass.....my only rebuttal is that with the loss, we can go undefeated next year again and still not make a BCS Bowl. This one really hurts!!!!

As for blame....I blame the running game....I blame the lack of offense- especially after the Hout interception. My stomach just churns at this point. TCU owned this game for the last 36 minutes plus!
Lack of getting in the ball in the endzone is going to haunt the Broncos. This is the second best team in the Mountain West and BSU could not beat them. Not tonight and it hurts!

Any suggestions on how to get over this ....is welcome at statueleft@hotmail.com

Somewhere Mark May is laughing......


If you can, have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good.........where is Jeremy Avery? Alert the Missing Persons Unit!

What I just noticed....

The good .....( pretty funny skit-look unrehearsed)

-----also, great effort for Garcia to not come out of the game


The bad....( this kid needs to be disciplined hardcore)



The ugly...... this poor young prodigy ( I do not remember him doing anything special against BSU middyear)



or something less gross


- Fresno State coaching-primarily the future of Pat Hill. Coach Dan Brown deserved better!
- Max Hall and BYU's defensive performance
- Dallas Cowboys not making the playoffs with all of that talent
- StatueLeft still not issuing his breakdown on the Poinsettia bowl
- Gonzaga not locking down UCONN when it counted!
- Ohio State about to get beat again, in a bad way, in a BCS Bowl game
- If Coach Gary Patterson licks a toad, does the Toad get high?

sidenote- great article on the history of IJ in the local fishwrap here in Idaho...linky

-I was in Oklahoma City a few years back, 2005, staying at a Marriott when I hopped into the elevator and ran into a bunch of TCU football players. They were staying there and about to head out to face off against the Sooners down in Norman. I guess my brush with the TCU was positive, as TCU knocked off Oklahoma that day. I gave myself credit for giving the TCU players a brush with BSU excellence by proxy. Anytime Oklahoma loses, I find myself happy.

Questions to Ponder:

Will Kellen Moore be the face of the program, more so than IJ, during his reign at Boise State? Will Kellen Moore be in the conversation as being the most popular Bronco?
Will his jersey number be in the discussion of being retired?

Also- is this the best pic of the year involving a Bronco?

Full Disclosure ( pic heavy )

Worthless bowl picks that no one else will care about....winners in bold. Obviously these opinions are worthless except if you want to invest a few Schrute bucks through your local bookie but I will let you decide on how much you can lose during the Holiday Season.

Nerves, oh my aching nerves! I think I am getting anxious/ going loony waiting for the Poinsettia Bowl, so I do not want to venture a guess on the game or just write up something inflammatory about the game. So I have decided to waste half my Saturday looking for pics off of google images that might or might not be related to each bowl game....Happy Holidays and I sure hope the Broncos show up! Wake Forest vs Navy I would love any Armed Services school to win but Wake is too much

Colorado State vs Fresno St WAC HOMER pick that I am not fond of....I was easily swayed by a pouty/whiny Pat Hill and his lovely stache,but I can see the team from the better conference ( MWC) winning.

Memphis vs South Florida 40 minute bus ride to the game can not be fun but USF has to be the most underachieving team of the year- nice follow up Jim Leavitt.
BYU vs Arizona The Preseason over-hyped Stormin' Mormons will wreak havoc in the snow-plagued field at Sam Boyd Stadium.....AZ Cats will become frostbitten

Southern Miss vs Troy SoMiss is always overrated in the non-bcs ranks, but can Troy rise above?

Boise State vs TCU Obviously the toughest matchup to call.....pretty much a pick em for me but will go with the Broncos by a smidge 24-21. Best pic of the year in sports- credit to the IDSTATESMAN


Hawaii vs Notre Dame Hawaii loves to play at home and the Golden Domers are rewarded for a 6 loss season-

Florida Atlantic vs Central Mich Home game for CMU, unimpressed with the matchup but very impressed with the Schnellenberger stache

West Virginia vs North Carolina Pat White cold be the only QB to win 4 bowl games, look it up

Wisconsin vs Florida St. Free Shoes U will beat up on the slow white northerners

Miami vs California Without QB Marve, Miami is just lame....throw your U in the air like Luke Skywalker ( 2 Live Crew) would ......

Northern IL vs Louisiana Tech Guilt of being a WAC homer....but can not stand either team

NC State vs Rutgers Two teams that are really hot but I will take the team led by the QB who punches his own players

Missouri vs Northwestern Chase Daniel beats up on an overachieving Wildcats- Mike Wilbon disapproves of this pick

Maryland vs Nevada Stick with the WAC homer pick.....might not go to game even with free tickets....unless Maryland Alum Scott Van Pelt/Capt'n America wants to chillax at the game

Rice vs Western Michigan -Home Game for Rice plus there is some legit talent in Rice

Oklahoma State vs Oregon High scoring affair here.....but can the Ducks offense come from behind to win a game? Not against Boise State...

Houston vs Air Force- Houston can score some points and Air Force can't.....

Oregon State vs Pittsburgh suspect pick since Pitt has faced 9 of 12 teams that are bowl bound ..Wannstadt's stache does nothing for me

Boston College vs Vandy- Vandy's Cinderalla season rings midnight !

Kansas vs Minnesota Mangino will not eat your baby....okay, so that joke is not new, just sayin' - However, I would love to see the Jayhawk players carry off Mangino .....

LSU vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets must really miss Taylor Bennett and his passing.

South Carolina vs Iowa Spurrier used to be interesting, losing = less quips & quotes

Georgia vs Michigan State So much for preseason polls...I am guilty of the hype machine too. Spartans have the better pic but Bulldogs get it done....

Clemson vs Nebraska The Tigers are finally playing hard for their new coach ...or else the coach will order the CODE RED on the other team

Penn State vs USC Won't be close- why the 3 yr extension for Joe Pa, he is not going anywhere....another virtual home game for the Trojans

Cincinnati vs Virginia Tech - has there been a worse bcs bowl game since Utah Pitt?


Ole Miss vs Texas Tech - Jevan Snead gets roughed up in his return to his home state. Houston Nutt's smile will sell you a car and some free advice on how to text page a woman ( you are not married to) thousands of times and get away with it....
Kentucky vs East Carolina Skip Holtz is staying put, back to back bowl wins?

Utah vs Alabama - Saban is already game planning for Va Tech in next year's season opener ...manhood check for the UTES

Buffalo vs Connecticut Thinking the Turner Gill leaving rumors are a distraction

Ohio State vs Texas pity OSU 1) they should not be playing in another bcs game 2) UT is pissed ....plus groin grabbing is not encouraged, not that there is anything wrong with that

Tulsa vs Ball State - Ball State has a new coach and Tulsa can put up some points in a hurry! Besides T-Town Tom Tom agrees......

Florida vs Oklahoma - Too many Sooners banged up and Tebow is pissed. I mean Tebow is pissed off in a big way.

Not worthy of a photo
I wish Montana would have rallied against Richmond in Division 1AA. Also, as I type this post, Carroll College is losing to Sioux Falls in NAIA, darn it.

Break out the honey do list

Since there is no college football on this weekend, and coming off a near 40 point blowout BSU basketball loss at the hands of BYU, you might as well get the honey do list out of the way. My reasoning, then there can not be any bitching when the bowl season kicks off, with Wake Forest vs Navy on Dec. 20th. Get the Christmas/Festivus shopping out of the way....and BINGO, you are good to lounge around for the remaining 2 weeks. Seriously, take the next 2 weeks off from work- enjoy good food, good times with Family, and if you are fortunate and/or wealthy enough, go ahead and attend a bowl game or two.

Heading into tomorrow's nights Heisman show, I agree with the cynics that this is a close race.....I could see any one of the three winning-

Sam Bradford Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow but I wonder if Tim Tebow fans around the word will adorn their favorite windshields with this message.... pic compliments of EDSBS!




So I will go with (vid compliments of WIZofODDS)

More funny videos like the "Tim Tebow is a Hero" at Heavy.com

Tebow...just to say I saw one of two players repeat. Throw out the stats...in a streetfight, I would pick Tebow. Whatever happened to this campaign? Hint- I am still disappointed the true potential of this athlete was never realized!!!
