go hokies!

this weekend marks the start to the college football season including a big one monday night on espn -- #3 boise state versus #10 virginia tech. i believe that over the past few years, the argument that boise state should be considered in the national champions debate has become increasingly annoying. therefore, i would love to see virginia tech run all over them tonight.

i jumped on the boise state bandwagon with everyone else back in 2007 when boise state defeated oklahoma in the fiesta bowl using an exciting offensive game plan including several trick plays.



this was also the game that prompted one of the stars of the boise state team to propose to his cheerleader girlfriend on the sideline while on national television adding to the charm surrounding the team and school.

















but boise state going undefeated by beating up on teams in the weak western athletic conference is not enough for me to start considering them a college football powerhouse. in fact, boise state knows it too. starting in 2011 they decided to switch to the tougher mountain west conference so that they can gain more respect.

should boise state win handily tonight, they will get consideration in the national champions argument despite the fact that they only face one of two ranked opponents this year with the remainder of their games coming against the aforementioned weak conference teams. but should they lose tonight, there is little chance they will climb back into the top of the college football polls.

heres to the hokies helping end the "boise state should be the national champs" discussions tonight instead of letting it drag out all year.
