So much could be said about this game.
Troy Edwards at his best. Also, James Jordan's best game at Tech.
The defense, which struggled that entire season, was outstanding in the first half.
Boise was coming off of a win over Utah.
Boise backup QB Bryan Harsin took the field at the 2:47 mark.
The game-winning touchdown from Tech's win at Boise in 1997 is shown in the introduction in the first minute.
Thanks for posting this. Looking forward to the Oklahoma State win in Shreveport. ;)
The VHS conversion does look really good, though. Thanks!
If we could ever find it. Trust me, I've asked!Quote:

Didn't Boise State tear down the goal posts when they finally beat us?
Cool that those Idaho broadcasters traveled all that way to cover their home team's game. Funny hearing them talk about the humidity and the distance to New Orleans. They did not get revenge...until the next year into perpetuity (so far).
Tech having audio-visual files for archivel purposes?Quote:

Look at that grass field!! I kind of miss it.
We tried for years to get materials from Athletics for the Library archives, with no luck! What we did get was in terrible condition, in many cases unsalvagable.Quote:

ABC did a good job of keeping its video in New York. I'd love to see us do what Texas did. Obtain it from ABC, restore it, digitize it, and create a file that looks better than the original broadcast.
But for now I'll settle for Oklahoma State in 2002.
My next door next door neighbor was an Okie grad and die hard fan. He talked to me a few days before the game not so humbly. I waited for a few days after that game and nothing out of him. I finally mentioned the game to him and he said (sheepishly) he was wondering when I would bring it up. I didn't mention it anymore as I didn't want to wear it out.
How pathetic.Quote:

Speaking of attendance sucking, how about that sorry crowd in the BSU game? Sad. Though I've never understood why they'd ever schedule a day game before October, because, for most people, baking in the sun is not their idea of a good time.
We were 2-3 at the time. The thinking was that Boise would struggle with the heat.Quote:

About 10 years ago, Tech reached out to many people they thought would have material in an effort to build the archives. I loaned them everything I had to copy. I know they have the archives of Dr. Bundrick and others, as well.Quote:
