Line has moved since I booked, sorry for the delay with posting this one, been under the weather.


BC Pk -- Normally I'd feel this is a big trap for an ACC school to travel up to Idaho, but I have total faith that O'Brien will have the troops ready to play and win, he's one of the best college coaches in the country in my opinion and won't let the team sulk because they are not in a warm weather bowl somewhere.

Big matchup in the game is Kiwanuka vs Colledge, both of whom are pro scouts, and will play a signficiant role in what their team looks to do. Kiwi is a bigtime pressure guy, and if he is successful getting to Zabrasnky I can see some mistakes being made (Zabransky looked awful vs Georgia when pressured). Colledge is known for his run blocking but will really be tested when Kiwi lines up to pass rush. Boise has that home win streak, but no real notable wins this season, and this BC is much more battle tested for this one.

Boise State offense is not nearly as prolific as it's been in past seasons, and the BC offensive line is so big I think they are going to line it up and smash the boys on the smurf turf. Boston College has been one of my favorite teams to bet on all year, so going one more with them to finish off 2005.

Good luck.

Who do you like in the other bowl game tonight (Alamo Bowl)?

Considering a bet on Michigan first half -- My read on this game is that Michigan either comes out firing and breaks it open early, or they will be in a dogfight all night. Maybe will wait to see how BC plays out first, but UM has the firepower to go deep against the Cornhuskers from the outset.

Will post if I make a play.

Didn't sweat that game one bit -- wow I am suprised O'Brien let it come down to that, I've come to expect a little more.

Watching the Alamo bowl now, will post if I like anything at half.

thought BC was going to blow it..congrats on the win..good luck on Michigan second half...

BC was happy with just letting the clock run down...big mistake on the road against a powerful offense...but we got the win..thats what matters

Yeah, I think the combo of the big lead and the inclement weather put BC to sleep and they took the pedal off the metal. Natural reaction, but just suprising because I firmly believe O'Brien is a great coach.

Still glad it worked out so no reason to be all too worried.

Congratulations on the victory and good luck the rest of the way on the bowls.

Do you have an opinion on the Oklahoma game B?

I am interested in your take on why O'brien didnt take a safety when BC was pinned down deep in their own territory. Maybe he has that much confidence in his special teams and defense but why give them better field position?

If i was the coach of BC, the long snapper puts that one thru the uprights and gives them the 2 points.
