Up the underdogs!
Posted by on Monday, January 1, 2007 at 11:09 pm

Boise State 28, Oklahoma 10, with 8:05 left in the third quarter.

I love it!!

UPDATE: Dammit. Just when I was starting to dream of a Boise blowout… a crucial, flukey turnover, and it’s 28-17.

UPDATE 2: Calm down, Broncos, calm down. Don’t lose your composure now. Yikes.

UPDATE 3: Dear Samsung: Your HDTV girl is really, really creepy. I’m going to have nightmares about her saying “it’s the mirrors.” The person who came up with the concept for those ads was clearly on drugs. Seriously. Creepy!!

Anyway, a crucial stand there, holding the Sooners to a field goal. So it’s 28-20. Now Boise needs some offense.

UPDATE 4: Absolute craziness, and it’s tied 28-28 with 1:26 to go.

C’mon Boise… don’t panic… you have time left… drive for the winning field goal! GO BRONCOS!

UPDATE 5: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Oklahoma intercepts it, runs it in for a touchdown, and will apparently win in the most absolutely heartbreaking fashion imaginable for Boise State and its fans…

Sooners lead, 35-28 with 1:02 left. Boise State ball, two timeouts left.

UPDATE 6: YEESSSSS SSS S S SS sdnfgfkls[dhagpidfwkshtoiashjgdfjshgklajdfsbhgvkljasdHfaks OWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE 7: Forgive me, dear readers, and excuse my French, but:

HOLY SHIT!!!!

Boise State ties the game with 7 seconds left with a touchdown on 4th and 19, featuring a LATERAL that kept the game alive! We’re going to overtime, baby!!!

UPDATE 8: Oklahoma scores a touchdown immediately, on a 25-yard run by Peterson. So it’s Boise ball. They need a touchdown to keep it going.

    That turnover on the return is driving me crazy. I got my pulse down to below 180 with the 18 point lead, but it’s back up now.

  3. gahrie Says:

    That little girl inspired me to buy a 56″ 1080p DLP HDTV four days ago.

    Leave her alone..she’s my hero.

  4. Colin Pedicini Says:

    2:40 left in 4th; still Boise 28-20.

    Oklahoma has the ball; 1st and 10 at own 23.

  5. Colin Pedicini Says:

    2:14 left in 4th

    NOOO!!

  6. Colin Pedicini Says:

    on BOI 23; first and 10

    2 minutes left!!

  7. Brendan Loy Says:

    Is it just me, or was that a REALLY WEAK potentially game-deciding pass interference call?

    TD OK. Dammit dammit dammit.

    STOP THE TWO!!!

  8. Brendan Loy Says:

    Another one??

    Christ!

  9. Brendan Loy Says:

    Okay, that one was a good call.

  10. Brendan Loy Says:

    WTF?

  11. Brendan Loy Says:

    Having! A! Heart! Attack!

  12. Colin Pedicini Says:

    28-26!!!

    :(

    1:26 remaining…

    What just happened??

  13. Brendan Loy Says:

    FUCK!!!!!

  14. Brendan Loy Says:

    Okay, 1:26 left… drive for the winning FG…

  15. Dan Port Says:

    Tied! After 2 penalties on the conversion try (pass int. on Boise, illegal motion on OU).

  16. Colin Pedicini Says:

    28-27!

    I’m shocked OK did not go for 2 there…

    Boise State gets the ball back now…

  17. Brendan Loy Says:

    Colin, what game are you watching? :) It’s 28-28.

  18. Colin Pedicini Says:

    ESPN GameCast says OK just called time with 1:26 left…

    Still listed as Boise leading 28-27…

  19. Colin Pedicini Says:

    Brendan…I stand corrected.

    28-28…y’all are right.

  20. Brendan Loy Says:

    ESPN GameCast’s data-entry person probably had a heart attack, just like I almost did.

    HOLY SHIT

    Oklahoma wins

  21. Brendan Loy Says:

    Intercepted, pick 6… OMG… AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

  22. Dan Port Says:

    Um… wow. INT on the first play, returned for a TD by Oklahoma. WTF, Z, W T F?

  23. Colin Pedicini Says:

    My. Goodness.

    There are no words.

  24. Dan Port Says:

    I may cry.

  25. Dan Port Says:

    YESYESYESYESYES!!!!

  26. Dan Port Says:

    I LOVE LATERALS!!!

  27. Colin Pedicini Says:

    So we’re all in agreement on 35-35!

    YAY!! :)

  28. Brendan Loy Says:

    That play was the most beautiful thing I have seen since 4th and 9.

    Un. Be. Lievable.

    The only thing missing was the Stanford Band.

    Everyone else in the house is asleep. (Hence my constant commenting and blogging — I have no other way to express my emotions watching the game, as I don’t want to wake them up.) Fools. They’re missing the best game of the college-football season, bar none. The Ohio State-Michigan “classic” has nothing on this. This isn’t the “big dog” vs. the “underdog.” This is a heavyweight bout between two equals. It’s only fitting that it’s going to overtime.

    GO BOISE!!!

  29. Anonymous Says:

    I’m still basking in the glow of that beautiful play and you have to bring up 4th and 9? I may throw up in my mouth.

  30. Brendan Loy Says:

    Heh. Sorry.

  31. Brendan Loy Says:

    So much for basking. Touchdown Oklahoma. Dammit.

  32. Dan Port Says:

    I haven’t had this many emotional swings since my last girlfriend.

  33. Anonymous Says:

    if (if if if) Boise St scores…i say go for 2.

  34. Dan Port Says:

    4th down and 2, 5 yard line (after a 1 yard loss on 3rd and 1). This is your game.

  35. C. Bassett Says:

    TD. Too damn hard to watch. Go Broncos, please!

  36. Dan Port Says:

    Z goes in motion, other dude throws a TD.

  37. Brendan Loy Says:

    TD!!!

    Go for 2?

  38. Dan Port Says:

    Going for it!!!

  39. Brendan Loy Says:

    Fox lobbying for a playoff. YES!!

  40. Texasyank Says:

    Time-out OU. Who thought the best bowl of the season would be in me-time?

  41. Texasyank Says:

    Here we go.

  42. Dan Port Says:

    YESsSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

  43. Brendan Loy Says:

    YES!!!!!

    YESSS!!!!!!!!

    YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. Brendan Loy Says:

    BOISE STATE FOR AP NATIONAL CHAMPION!

  45. Texasyank Says:

    AHHHHHHHHHH!

  46. Anonymous Says:

    if (if if if) Boise St scores…i say go for 2.

    I should get paid the big bucks :)

    Go BSU!

  47. Dan Port Says:

    Statue of liberty play… wow.

  48. Vicki from NJ Says:

    Holy crap… I wasn’t even going to watch this game, but damn if that wasn’t AMAZING. Two thumbs for beating the Sooners and for making me jump up and down like a little girl. wow

    Fight on! and Go Boise State!

  49. Dan Port Says:

    On top of everything else… Ian Johnson just proposed to his super-hot cheerleader girlfriend… during the post-game interview… does college football get any better than this?

  50. Texasyank Says:

    This recalls nothing so much as undefeated Arizona State defeating Nebraska, 17-14, in the 1975 Fiesta Bowl.

    That was the game that turned college football on its head, opened up the Pac-8 to the Arizona schools, put the Fiesta Bowl on the map, introduced a college football-watching country to an entire time zone, and inched us toward an opening-up of television contracts.

    If, a dozen years from now, we eventually have an eight- or ten- or twelve-team playoff (and I doubt it, but I live in hope), this Fiesta Bowl will be mentioned as a major step forward.

    I worship the Rose Bowl. But I love the Fiesta Bowl.

  51. Brendan Loy Says:

    Technically, the Fox reporter proposed to Ian Johnson’s girlfriend. :)

  52. Dan Port Says:

    Haha, yeah, nice one there Chris Myers.

  53. David K. Says:

    What can you expect from the station that gives us various “When ____ attacks” ;-)
