I think we'd all love to be where they are, but what has it really gotten them? At the G5 level, can one season, or even a string of seasons, ever make a lasting impact? I think the answer is only yes if that season or string of seasons leads to a higher profile and more money. Those two things only arrive in significant ways once you reach the P5 level.
Yes, Boise State gets several very good Texas HS players (and other NATIONAL signees) each year because of what they've done getting to Access Bowls. In addition to the ENORMOUS PRESTIGE they've also garnered their conference $18M+ each time they've gone to these games.

Just as in baseball and basketball, Louisiana Tech beating LSU would just be seen as "yeah, LSU had a down year. Its not like Tech will do that again in the next 100 years".

A single win over LSU would be nice, but we need to think bigger than that if we want to thrive in FBS football and adequately fund our athletics programs.
