Local papers here did not seem to have a lot of respect for Fresno and the WAC. UVA was very down about having to go to a lower tier bowl and play someone beneath them (any non BCS school). Wonderful win for the Bulldogs. Always root for them when they play the BCS schools. I still marvel that we beat them and am so frustrated that we blew the season after that win. That could of/should of been us...
I'm very glad to see this. Especially after I saw Virginia make a big tackle in the 1st quarter of today's game and the ESPN announcer said "Hello Fresno! With a defensive hit like that, you know you are not in the WAC anymore!"Originally Posted by dawg80
He was obviously implying that the WAC is a much weaker conference than what Virginia plays in.
After seeing today's game and remembering Tech's win over FSU earlier this season, I can only imagine what COULD have been for LA Tech.

Let's hope Boise and UTEP can maintain the WAC's post-season momentum!
I have no doubt that UTEP and Boise will both come out winners.Originally Posted by aubunique
I have plenty of doubt in both cases. But, Boise I know can get it done. It will be a tough game. UTEP, well, I am still not sold on the Miners. Price will have to do, and be doing right now, a masterful coaching job for them to compete with the Buffs.Originally Posted by champion110
I hope both win and the WAC goes 4-0 in bowls.
And, dating back to 2002, the WAC is 7-2 in bowls at this point. Only Hawaii's inexplicable loss to Tulane and Tulsa's bashing by Ga Tech have blemished the WAC's bowl record the past 3 seasons.
Let's not mention the WAC's dismal showing in 2001....
Yes, let's leave that unstated.......Originally Posted by dawg80
Its hard to pull for Fresno, but when the half time idiots made the comment "You're not in the WAC now" I was tickled pink when Fresno pulled it out in OT.Originally Posted by HogDawg
Those announcers were among the worst I have ever heard. Seemed pretty clueless most of the time. I guess ESPN doesn't exactly send its first team to Boise.
