    The FG kicker who missed 3 FG's went to the locker room and tried to hang himself. Fortunately he was unable to kick the stool out from under himself.

    Well I think it's funny as hell. I read it somewhere after the BSU kicker missed a FG last season.

    Well if it's a BSU kicker it's a horse of a different color entirely.

    Boise State is that annoying little brother that wants everything you've got, and whines to mom and dad until he gets it. I detest that school.

    I see it as freshman Lew Alcindor. A pretty damn good team that doesn't get to play with the big boys b/c of stupid (and antiquated) rules, and when they do finally get to play the NC contenders they beat them.

    You know what, make a fucking kick. It was basically a glorified extra point that he choked.

    35+ yard FGs are never automatic - even in the pros. Our offense and defense shouldn't have put us in the position to need 24 unanswered points.

    Disappointing how fans turn on kids when they don't live up to expectation.

    I thought about James fumble on the 3 yard line at the end of the first half. It wasn't even much of a strip. That's what cost us the game.

    It's never the kickers fault when they miss a big kick. It's always the teams fault for putting them in that position. Ridiculous thinking. The team busted their ass to get back into the game, scored 21 unanswered points and put that scrub in position for an easy kick. He blew it.

    Ya, I get how it works. I don't have any hatred towards the kicker at all. Do I think he should have made it.....Yes. But I also think James shouldn't have fumbled. The defense shouldn't have given up so many points. etc.


    Like many things, end of game situations are polarizing. FT's, FG's, Penalty shots......

    I mean people like to blame the guy at the FT line under pressure for missing 1 at the line to tie or win. But in reality, maybe if some other guy hadn't thrown a bad pass early in the game, or someone hadn't missed a simple rotation on defense earlier in the game, that guy might not have had to make that FT?
