Do you think the BCS will have a bigger push against it in the senate regarding anti trust issues if this scenario plays out?
Imagine the controversy if two undefeated teams TCU and Boise State have wins over teams who are in BCS bowls and you have a team like Texas who has not played anybody except a depleted Oklahoma State team in the finals. I will be the first to admit Texas is a good team but the non conference schedule they CHOSE is just unacceptable.
Also adding to the controversy what if Boise State gets snubbed from all BCS bowls in this scenario. Add to this Boise State, Oregon, Clemson and TCU win their bowls to sweeten the pot.
All of the above scenario only requires 1 upset for it to happen and is generally accepted as the most likely chain of events excluding the 1 aforementioned upset.
P.S. If anybody brings up Boise State’s SOS please read http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/ne… & http://collegefootball.rivals.com/conten… Note how Boise State has no control over what conference they play in or who they play in non-conference play UNLIKE Texas!

“humanist” here is a little food for thought http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/10784577/rss
“humanist” I asked if a greater push would be made I didn’t ask how big of a push HAS been made.

If anyone knows the opening bands for Marilyn Manson, that would be great! He played in Boise Idaho on September 4th at the Knitting factory. There was a band right before him with this brutal blond ***** singer and she had an awesome screamo voice. If you know the bands let me know!

I’m in a hotel room with my mom and my grandma (we’re all in Boise for a conference thing)…both of them are snoring REALLY loud (like, chainsaw loud), hence the reason I’m on Y!A in the middle of the night. I have to wake up in 2 hours…should I just stay awake until then? I haven’t been able to sleep all night.
What would you do?
I have to put up with this tomorrow night, too! I don’t know if I can take it! I haven’t gotten any sleep in like 4 days because of this!
Is there a way to block out REALLY loud snoring? I’m at my wit’s end! I tried music and everything…these snores penetrate ANY block!

I love family reunions as long as they are happening to someone else’s family. To me, the fact that my aunts and cousins and sisters have all chosen to live as far away from one another as possible is not a coincidence, but a warning. Others in my family don’t agree, and speak of our last reunion with such fondness that I am pretty sure they must have left before Uncle Lou grabbed the microphone and gave us his penetrating analysis of the state of the American political system, made all the more interesting because of Uncle Lou’s a) lifetime service as a notary public, and b) bourbon.
I’ve been monitoring my e-mails lately, tracking the plans to have a “Cameron Family Blow-Out!!!!!”, as the subject line reads–I assume the extra exclamation points are there to incite enthusiasm. In case you are thinking of having a reunion of your own, here are the steps you apparently need to follow:
First, set a date when everyone is available!!!!! You’ll have to deal with cousin Dean, who reminds us that he is very busy and important and may have a big business deal overseas, or on the space shuttle.
Like Dean is such a big shot, sneers cousin John, all he does is sell insurance.
John, writes Cousin Tina, you shouldn’t hit “reply all” when sending a message like that.
John, you are my cousin and I love you, replies Dean, but you have always been a big fat idiot, what I do for a living is… (seven paragraphs of information about financial bonds follow, each one as interesting as a report from the Senate Subcommittee on Cement).
John’s response is to send a photograph of a large man bending over in unfortunately loose pants, the caption reading “Cousin Dean.”
Next, pick a location!!!!! Uncle Lou says Boise would be perfect because it is “close to everything.”
Everything, Dean repeats, meaning what, corn?
Cousin John sends a list of countries in which to have the reunion so as to be “close to Dean The Big Important Businessman,” including Moronovia and Idiotesia. My mother writes HELLO CAN EVERYONE READ THIS? WHAT KIND OF PIE DOES EVERYONE LIKE? (Mother, it’s called the Caps-Lock key; press it.)
Dean wants to know whether everyone got his corn joke.
Aunt Liddy says we should have the reunion someplace warm because Uncle Bob gets so cold.
Tina points out that we’re having the reunion in August, it’s bound to be warm wherever we are.
I tell him to put on a sweater but he doesn’t listen, Aunt Liddy complains.
I might not be able to make it in August, Dean warns. I have some big deals coming up.
Boy that would be a shame, John remarks, I was really looking forward to listening to you talk about your great job for ten hours.
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF PIE TO MAKE my Mother shouts. (Mom, you’ve got a month, you act like you’re already pre-heating the oven.)
Finally, decide on the exciting events!!!!! A really good polka band would be great, Uncle Lou declares. Also a contradiction in terms, adds Cousin Tina.
YOUR FATHER WANTS RASPBERRY, my mother writes, as if we all have the same father.
I can’t eat raspberries, I am allergic, John advises.
What would happen, Dean taunts, would your body swell up until it is fat as your head? Let’s have a pi*ata, Tina suggests, that would be fun. Yeah, John agrees, especially if Dean is the pi*ata.
The best polka band in all the world is right here in Boise, Uncle Lou exults.
For your information if I eat raspberries I could die, John declares.
I don’t like raspberries either, Tina confesses.
He just sits in his chair and tells me to turn up the heat, Aunt Liddy reports.
I’d be happy to be toastmaster again, Uncle Lou offers.
Please Bruce, Tina writes privately, don’t let Uncle Lou have the microphone, last time he almost gave me brain damage.
WILL PEOPLE WANT ICE CREAM WITH THEIR RASPBERRY PIE?
(Uncle Lou, instead of a toastmaster this time let’s just let people fight on their own.)
Well, I’m considered something of a wise man here in Boise, Uncle Lou responds.
WHAT KIND OF ICE CREAM WILL EVERYONE WANT? YOUR FATHER WANTS CHOCOLATE.
(I’m not sure I can make the family reunion. I may have an important deal in Moronovia!!!!!)

My husband and I will be stopping in the Boise, Idaho area for a night, and would like to know if anyone can recommend a good restaurant for us. A restaurant that you can only find in Boise. Kinda like “The Onion” is native to Spokane. Anything like that? We’re also looking for some hotel recommendation. Meridian suggestions would be nice also. Thank you.
