The Dogs had a great game! They once again proved that they belong in a BCS conference for two reasons: (1) The do play anyone, anywhere at any time and (2) They play to the level of competition. We all know that many of the BCS teams play weak 1-A teams from the mid-major conferences or 1-AA teams.
This have never been the case under Coach Hill at Fresno State.

Great Game Fresno. We might have moved to Kentucky but our hearts are still with the Dawgs.

This was great win for Fresno State, their hard nose football was the key to their victory over a BIG BCS team. I felt the Boise fans treated Fresno as if they were a local team and almost filled the stadium on a very cold day. Hang on to coach Hill, he is a winner! We are looking forward to a great game in Boise in 2008, it might be the game of the year! I saw a Boise fan with a sign that said "Fresno Today, Boise Forever! Fresno has given the WAC some needed prestige! Thank you Fresno!

Thanks to all the great Boise fans who helped the Bulldogs win at the great Humanitarian Bowl. A very fun game to watch.

Congratulations, FSU, on a very fine win. As a Yellow Jacket, I was obviously diappointed, but give credit where due. Our defense that has carried us a large part of the year was unable to stop Fresno's balanced play and good play calling. Our team faced some hurdles with the injuries and the current coaching upheaval, but no excuses. Your's appears to be a very good program with some quality individuals. Best of luck. Georgia Tech is a fine institute with a rich football history and tradition any school would be proud of. We look forward to next season and the sense of excitement that is already building. Hope we can play you again some day in a bigger bowl that not quite as hard for me to get to and our program is performing up to our expectations.
Again, good team effort from your guys and best wishes.

Insecticide: How different will your team be next year with the triple option being brought in? Obviously the defense will be similar but do you see any players transferring due to the new offensive scheme?
It was a fun and entertaining game that was played yesterday by both programs.

Bronco fans are AWESOME! What absolutely wonderful support they give to their WAC -mates! I admire the Boise community. Bulldog fans owe these warm, gracious Idaho folks a big, sincere "THANK YOU!" Wouldn't it be nice to see every Bulldog fan demonstrate the same great sportmanship, respect and support these football fans showed us?
Thanks Boise!

I was at the game and all I saw were Boise State fans..:) Nice job WAC'in Georgia Tech. Looks like orange was close enough to red on this day. Not to take anything away from GT fans, everything I've heard about them here has been extremely positive. But on this day, Bronco Stadium turned into Bulldog Stadium North.
It's always our pleasure to cheer on the 'Dogs come December, but it'll be a different story next fall....:)

hey good job to the dogs who had a good turn-around season. THANK YOU to all the Boise fans who showed up and cheered on the WAC team. Overall, the season was good, but there's still a ton of room for improvement. Maybe the dogs can win the WAC next season with Colt Brennan leaving. Is it wrong that I already miss football season?
