Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 Why can't the NFL adopt equal-possession overtime? That 49ers-Broncos win was cool, but this was ten times better. I wouldnt have a problem with regular season games ending that way to avoid the possibilities of ties and all, but In no way should the playoffs be decided by that method. Fuck that. Ties are rare anyways. Show me that game right there wasn't more exciting and awesome with the extra possession. In NFL rules, the awesomness is reduced to a fucking AP rush. No statue of liberty, no proposal...just another anti-climatic finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 Wait a minute..theres a Bronco Nation? When did Idaho become their own nation, or are we lumping the Denver Broncos in with the Boise State Broncos? And what's the deal with airline food? Seriously, between this and the Smurf Turf thing, does watching Boise State make you unable to understand English? Come on..theres no Boise State Bronco Nation, at least with fans that have been fans longer than the last 5 hours. Other than the "they play on the blue turf", I doubt 90% of people could point to Boise Idaho on a map and be within 100 miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody is going there now. Nobody has family at the school. I mean, shit, two hours ago the campus was a vacant Allstate office! Boise State University is a construct that only exists within the parameters of college football. Sometimes I want to smack you on the side of your big dumb bald head so effing hard.

Would you prefer winning a coin toss and kicking a 38-yard FG and that's it? If they kick a 38 yard fg, then the other teams defense sucked and couldnt stop em. In College rules, they kick a 38 yard feild goal and the defense only gave up like 4 yards. Someone said they should move the ball out to the 50..that would be great but then youd likely get multiple possessions with no scores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 The hook and ladder was just shocking and awesome all at the same time. I'll take that one but god damn was that Statue of Liberty play awesome as hell. He fooled everyone on Oklahoma. The end of the game needed more shots of the OU fans looking on going, "oh my god...we just lost to a WAC team...in a major bowl game.."

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 Hook/ladder was awesome because it was so shocking. Statue/liberty because it won the game. If I had to pick one though it would be hook/ladder because it momentarilly altered my heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the situation they were in. 4th and 18? What the fuck are you doing calling that play? And I wish I hadn't watched RAW, MFer. But I caught most of the game after about 8:30 so I saw most of it, including the important parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 Yeah, the hook and ladder had to be the best one just because the game was over. They were just ticking time off the clock and then BOOM Boise ties it just like that. The Statue of Liberty was close behind though. It actually took something pretty amazing to keep the finish from being anticlimatic after the play to tie it at the end of regulation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 How could you not love that Statue of Liberty play? Totally insane and awesome ending. All three plays were wonderful to watch though, as was AP's run in OT. What a dagger, who knew Boise could come back from that defensive letdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT THE OPPOSING OFFENSIVE CORPS NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO HIT THE FI(ELD) Hence the term "sudden death" and the idea that the first team to score wins. It shouldn't be the first team to hold the other team to less points than they scored on their possession wins, thats just stupid. If their defense couldnt stop the team from driving 50+ yards to get in FG position for a 38 yard FG, then they deserved to lose. Last I checked, defense was just as much a part of football as offense. And no offense to this game and all..it was good, but I made my opinion of the College OT rules known back when the game was still being played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
