"Must be new. Whatever happened to 64 teams automatically being "in?" I don't understand what changed."
:lol:

BroncoCountry - wikipedia :facepalm:

No, that is a KSU fan. He posted on their board that he was posting here to try to get more of us to visit over there. They have a thread with a good breakdown of BSU and LaSalle stats. Overall they are having a good time with this matchup. We can worry about them on Thursday.
They're on to us!!!! :runaway:
-
They thought I was some infamous Vandal fan named "Des" going over there to rile them up. If you read the thread I didn't even do anything wrong. Just didn't want them to be fixated on La Salle when we could be BBSing with them all week.
-
Have they brought up football yet? I bet they'll bring football smack talk
-
They don't want to talk to us. :frown:
-
I'm not sure if it's that they won't talk to us or that they simply can't. The guy who linked to Wiki has 8k posts while the one who thinks "64 teams automatically get in" to the tourney has 7k.
-
Why are they so worried that responding will make them look arrogant? Seems like an odd concern, and yet 3 or 4 of them mention it.
Also I'm not sure they really know what a troll is.
-
Maybe if a poster better than Emo EMAW had been the first to reach out this would be more fun :dunno:
-
Disappointed in this thread. Really wanted to talk about Taco Bell Arena. I love everything about it. Its name is so awesome. It also kinda looks like an old opera house almost, or at least a little bit like Oregon's old The Pit. And Tyus Edney happened there, as did Hampton upsetting Iowa State in a 15-2. And they have insane hoops courts.
Have heard Boise is nicer than you might expect.
-
Well obviously I'm not a good poster but I figured not being confrontational was a good approach. A good friend of mine if pretty familiar with their board and he told me not to even bother. Said there wasn't a single intelligent poster there. Can't say I've seen evidence to the contrary at this point.
-
They don't want to talk to us. :frown:
Probably saw how we dominated their sister school BYU at the interwebs and want NO part of it.
:gocho:

Boise is more like Utah State, IMO, but still way worse. It's basically a junior college.

I thought they'd be rowdier on account of being so poorly educated. Buncha lame-o tucks. :shakesfist:

These are the same people that got all butthurt when they left their in-state rival Idaho for another conference. They don't ever want to play Idaho again because allegedly Idaho fans are too mean. So they take their ball and go home. Basically just incredibly insecure, inferiority complex type stuff, so they don't even want to talk to outsiders.

I think it was the other way around, wasn't it?

Does anyone know if they serve the Kool Ranch tacos at Taco Bell Arena? That would be so :lick:

BSU discontinued the rivalry and their university president spouted some bullshit about Idaho's classless fans.
BOISE, Idaho -- Boise State University president Bob Kustra says his remarks about a bitter football rivalry with the University of Idaho, in which he called Vandal culture "nasty" and "inebriated," came out harsher than he intended.
But Kustra is defending his stance that there's no reason for the Broncos to continue traveling to northern Idaho to play the Vandals on their home turf in Moscow.
Kustra's criticisms of the Vandals came during an interview with the Idaho Statesman editorial board Tuesday. Kustra later said in a prepared statement to Idaho media that questions about the rivalry "hit a sore spot" after someone sent him a recent opinion piece entitled "Reasons to Hate Boise State" from the University of Idaho student newspaper.
"It troubles me that the occasion of an annual football game causes the air waves and Internet to be full of disparagement of Boise State's students, faculty and programs, year after year," Kustra said.
Boise State's pending move to the Mountain West Conference from the Western Athletic Conference means the Broncos aren't likely to play the Idaho Vandals in 2011.
Boise State coach Chris Petersen put the future of the long-standing rivalry in further doubt Monday, saying his team should no longer travel to Moscow for games.
Kustra, when questioned about Petersen's remarks during his interview with the newspaper editorial board, said he didn't care if the Broncos ever play the Vandals again, the newspaper reported.
Boise State spokesman Frank Zang told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was present during the interview and the university does not dispute the context of Kustra's remarks.
"He does recognize that they came out harsher than he intended," Zang said.
Kustra did not plan to do any follow-up interviews about his remarks, Zang said.
University of Idaho president Duane Nellis said he was disappointed by Kustra's comments.
"I'm sorry to hear that Bob feels so negatively about his visits to Moscow," Nellis said in a statement.
The annual matchup between the Broncos and Vandals alternates between Boise and Moscow. The teams are scheduled to play each other on Nov. 12 in Moscow.
"In-state rivalries are meant to be fun," Nellis said. "Our long-time rivalry with BSU is important to the state, the economy, and the fans from both teams. We embrace and celebrate that rivalry and I very much hope it continues."
It seems that Boise is inflicted with taking themselves too seriously

Sorry, SB :embarrassed: Boise is nicer than expected. Good live music and downtown and a surprising Basque block. Kind of like a much bigger Missoula (which is also super stud).

He should look at The Animal's trolling efforts to see how it's really done.

Take it to the travel thread geeks.

I'm kind of disappointed they do not have a solid blue background on their message board. :cry:

WTF is taco bell arena?

I'm kind of disappointed no one wants to talk about how Boise State's arena is kind of "taco bell-y."

Was expecting something about Stanford. :dunno:

Sadly we cannot purchase any Taco Bell-y stuff in the arena. No, the court is not blue.

YES GUYS IT'S REALLY HAPPENING! :excited:
Vigilant, why did I get booted from the Boise board? They thought I was Des or some character? Not cool brah.

I've heard around 2,000 birds (roughly, of course some years are worse) are killed each year due to the field, so divide that by the number of Boise fans (this number I'm not sure of) and you've got part of that bird's death on your conscience.
I know if KSU had been murdering birds for years the ethical people on this board would have put a stop to it a long time ago, right?

So they take their ball and go home. Basically just incredibly insecure, inferiority complex type stuff, so they don't even want to talk to outsiders.
Idaho ceased being a quality football rivalry a few years ago. Vandal fans hate that. We still play them in Basketball and the last two seasons have been "neutral" sites. Troubles with the Vandals and football: They play in a large airplane hanger in which they seat 12,000 on average (only by faking attendance numbers to get that high). They aren't competitive for FBS football. They are in the middle of nowhere in a small town with no easy access for travel. They have no recruiting value. Their fans are well known for drunken behavior and intoxicated student deaths. We have a history of them living up to their Mascot whenever we visit and vandalizing cars from the southern counties, although my last trip up there was less eventful. Other than the fact that they have a yearly on campus festival dedicated to BSU (Hate Boise State Week) they are really in our rear view mirror and have already made arrangements to move back down to the FCS level.

Didn't realize you were booted. I'm not a mod. I thought I had made it clear on my home board where you came from with my post someone was kind enough to quote over here in another thread. Des was an "unappreciated" Vandal troll whom took things to a very personal level in attempts to "hurt" some BSU fans over the internet (creating some bad fake websites attributing credit for the website content to some very specific people). I'm sure you are not a sociopath and do not belong in the same circle.

Thank goodness those seem to be in short supply?

Whoa, is this really happening?

Vigilant I was AndyQatz over there. Got booted for being too nice I think.

Sounds like Vigilant needs a purple hug.

Pfft the 'Bell seats 20 fewer than the Bram. Small-timey hoops indeed.

You keep that purple thing pointed away from me at all times or I'll smack it with a pencil. Or worse. :chainsaw:
And, as a kindness, you may want to get that checked.

Vigilant, I feel like our schools have a lot in common. BSU is the bread winner for the MW conference much as we are for the Big-12. Do you have any advice on how to cope with shouldering the conference load on our back? I mean we practically pay for the Big-12 to exist. :kstategrad: While those poors down in Norman and Austin dwell over their mediocreness.
From one conf elite bro to another. :thumbs:

I'd guess they sent the expendable guy because mods lose their magic powers when they travel outside of their homelands.

Talked to my cousin, who married a huge Idaho Vandal fan(yeah, they have those). She told me their thing to do when the Vandals play the Broncos is get super Pak'd, and every five minutes yell, "Who do we hate? BOISE STATE!"
Vandals are weird.
