Oh, thanks for sharing! Those were funny.

There have been tons of Boise students/fans invade TCU blogs, websites, fan sites, etc with lots of smack and trash talk. Some of the posts say that they should receive the automatic BCS bid- and not us- because they beat OU a few years ago.

Um, Einsteins, WE beat YOU last year.

The best part of these blogs/sites/etc is that all the Utah and BYU fans have been posting too. Only, they have been 100% supportive of us. They say things like "Well, I am a Ute fan, but I recognize that TCU is really good this year. I hope that Utah wins this weekend, but if they don't then we really hope that you run the table! We will be cheering for you in whatever bowl that you get." There are dozens and dozens of posts like that, and not a single one with smack talk. Mormons. Nice people.

So, go Vandals! You will have tons of fans in Fort Worth this weekend.

(oh, and geez, it is really quiet in here these days. Seems like you and I are the only ones around these parts anymore! )

I still lurk around here! I'm rooting for TCU and have been since the beginning of the season. I would LOVE to see a "small school" win big, especially my aunt's alma mater!

Aw, thanks.

Hmmmmmm, it was probably about ~20-25 years ago, so the mid to late 80's.

What is so funny is that they come on to other WAC boards and trash talk, but their fan board you have to register for and they ban people left and right. My favorite pic is one about Bandwagon fans and has all kinds of ugly crap, and the caption is about spending more money on gear than tuition. I also refer to their school colors as blorange.

The Ada County Sherrif (where Boise is located) posts mug shots of arrests online and there were so many people in blorange for their mug shots last weekend. My favorite was a forty year old guy with spiky douchey hair, a douchey goatee and it was tinted and painted blorange, as well as around his eyes. We might have lost the game, but at least we aren't BSU.

ETA: No proof these are BSU affiliated people, but there are posters who have said "go fall out a window" to Vandals and considering we had that happen and both of those students are likely to suffer paralysis or other things like neurological damage to never being fully functional again I find that to be poor taste. As well as the people who mocked our NFL potential Big Mike Iupati for being an ESL student and having struggles coming from American Samoa in regards to language and not having the same grades entering college as others. The Boise Statesman did an article on him and the comments were horrible. Sure some people rip on Kellen Moore's "Donkey" like teeth or that an Oregon player punched one of their players, but mocking serious injury of young people and someone who learned a whole second language is beyond a football rivalry (there is NO academic rivalry in my opinion ).
