PromoTheRobot Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Any decent showing by Ball State against Boise (even a loss) would benefit the program (and the conference) FAR more than going to the bowl they will eventually attend, IMO. Sometimes you have to go out on a limb, even if it is unfair on its face. I don't buy that argument. The only way Ball State benefits is by winning, and that game would be so lopsided in favor of Boise State it would be a total joke. All Ball State would be is a patsy for Boise State. This is more about Boise inflating their program than helping out Ball State. PTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Manhood questioned for turning down total screw-over. This writer is a total douchenozzle for suggesting Ball State is too scared to play Boise State in the Humanitarian Bowl. P.S...I hope Turner Gill is posting all this on some billboard so his players now how much Ball State is looking past them. PTR #1) This writer is a "douchenozzle ?" for more than that PTR. This from his article :'Let’s start with the North Carolina State. The Wolfpack is 6-6, but that record is deceiving, as Tom O’Brien’s squad won its last four games of the season after making a quarterback change. N.C. State will enter the Motor City Bowl high on confidence and swagger. " Uhm, no that is not correct. Russell Wilson has been the starter all year, did not play 2nd game of year due to injury. I only say that as I know Russell Wilson personally and follow how he is doing every week . BTW 1st team all ACC as a redhirt freshman, ya'll will know that name next year!!! #2) To your PS point, I agree 100%. Not one article on where Ball St woill play next has even mentioned the POSSIBILITY that they might lose to UB. Fug em all go Bulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 You forgot to mention that hideous blue turf. I kinda like the hideous blue turf. Makes it easy to tell it's a Boise State game when you catch a glimpse in the bar. Kinda like LSU with the 5 yard markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more about Boise inflating their program than helping out Ball State. PTR i think your wrong Promo. I see where you are coming from but if they accepted this bowl bid it would of been the most talked about, highly anticipated non bcs bowl game ever. Would the odds be stacked against them? Sure, would they probably lose, sure, but now they are probably going to be relegated to the GMAC where they are going to play a middle of the rode ACC team such as NC ST & noone is going to give a dam about the game. They could of brought some great free marketing & credibility to the MAC if they would of won. Boise is probably is going to go out to SD to play TCU which should be a great game also. The one other option I heard is the Liberty Bowl might be able to get these 2 teams together. They should play. All the crappy bowl games that we are endured to, this is one I would like to see. BTW, I like Ball St to win tonight in a closer then expected game - 34-27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Boise State wanted the game so bad, why didn't they negotiate a neutral site bowl instead of one played in their home stadium? I object to Ball State being called "chicken" for turning down a set up game. PTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I object to Ball State being called "chicken" for turning down a set up game. PTR Sure it was an offer that was very much in their (Boise's) favor, and it is stupid to call Ball State "chicken"...that's simply stupid. But, I'm with Gordio on this one. I think they should have taken the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
