I hope you humps stayed up to watch the Broncos/Sooners game in the Fiesta Bowl. That was the best football game I have ever watched, period, finito, The End. Incredible gumption on the part of BS, capped with the dude who ran in the winning 2 point conversion going over to his cheerleader girlfriend and proposing to her on national TV.
Now, if we can only have Ohio State lose to Florida, we can safely crown Boise State the Cinderella National Champions.

I saw it. I don't even really watch any sports and I liked it. Especially amongst bingers.
I stayed up. Great game. Glad to see those guys get some respect.
I voted for the other guy.
We were all rooting for Boise because 1) that's a cousin's school and 2) they're a WAC school. Insane game. I thought the lateral pass was the best, then when they pulled out that fake we were all just in awe.
What was up with all the shots of the band? The camera crew had this serious thing for showing the OU band after a TD.
Edit: cause I suck at football terms

When Zadanski threw that return-interception with under a minute in the fourth, it looked hopeless for Boise State. Then to come back and tie the game up with under a minute and then go on to win it in OT, was simply awesome.
Classic.
Classic.
/cry I went turned it off after the first quater /cry

My cousin in law had gotten her brother and his little two sons Boise State shirts and when Z threw the interception they all turned their shirts inside out just to annoy her. It was pretty hilarious. Especially with great grandma cheering for the touchdown. She was like, "No, grandma, that was the other team! That's not good!"
January 1st and there is already two candidates for play of the year. Simply the greatest football game I have ever watched, and I usually don't care about college .
Fooseball is teh debil! You are all going to burn in hell for watching it!
Easily the best game I have seen in ten years.
Few things are lamer than Proposing in public. Prolly knocks off a good few double digit percentage points on the possibility of her saying no. Nothing like a little peer pressure to finagle the line.
You know, I was thinking that a public proposal like that would probably rate a "Magic 8-Ball says 'ASK AGAIN LATER, *******.'"
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Heheh, you two are unsentimental bastards. You guys prolly would grudgingly go to your parent's funeral, chuck a handful of dirt on the casket, and swipe the bouquet your siblings brought and give it to your mistress, lol.

Neh neh no, proposing in public would be more akin to haggling over price with the florist at the funeral parlor. It's just cheap. Bring your family and her family together and surprise!, unexpectedly pop the question then and there. It's bordering on an arrainged marriage. Saying no under circusmtances like that must take a true heroine with a Bill Laimbeer bad boy phantom of the opera immune to /boos mask. It's not about you and your feelings for her, it's about her and cameras flashing her in the bathtub. Gawk + 3. If any guy thinks that's "sweet", a restaurant is one thing, but national tv is a no no unless you met and won her on a game show. C'mon! It's a movie cliche where the bad guy uses just such underhanded tactics to entrap from the true love threat.
It sounds like they had discussed marriage already and she was onboard with it. He just hadn't decided on the setting for the proposal. But when he scored the winning 2 pt conversion, thus winning the game, he decided to go with the flow and popped the question. Assuming they do get married and the relationship is successful, it'll be the stuff of many a tale told on thier anniversary. I say props to the kid for hitting for the cycle-- to mix my sporting metaphors --and going for the gusto.

Granted, he's a football jock, and she's a cheerleader. And we don't know the background story of their relationship. But it looked to me like she was in deep shock hesitation, with no timeouts remaining. She was expecting maybe a kiss, not a proposal. It still remains, she was cornered into a national live tv box, not free and wild under the moon on a tropical shoreline. Did she really have a choice to say no without being labeled a cold-hearted tramp? How much of a true question then was that: I'll set your reputation free if you agree to marry me? He might not've been manipulatively calculating, but idk, I gotta bad vibe from that.
I'd say let's go to the tape and bring out the yellow tv football highlighter, but not finding it up on youtube yet. But I found another creepy example:

"Will you marry me?" is a declaration of love? Of whom? I guess it can somewhat depend upon the personalities involved, but don't people want that moment to be private and just about them? Fine, they can regale the crowd at anniversaries. Pull out the trophy and shake up the champaign like it was a frat house romp.

According to ESPN they'd talked about it but he told her he wasn't thinking about it yet. He had bought a ring for her but left it at the hotel in case they lost because he didn't want their marriage to be linked to a lost game for the rest of their lives.
I thought it was terribly sweet and she looked thrilled to me.

Same here.
I think she was more shell shocked from the way the game ended on a wild note, rather than being backed into a corner on national TV by being proposed to by her boyfriend. Boise State fans were reeling when the Okies scored a touchdown and went ahead by 7 points with a minute and a half left. When the Broncos not only came back, but with the sheer audacity of three trick plays, she, along with nearly everyone else were just stunned.
Other than the Cal/Stanford game there has never been a football game quite like this one. So I say RACK him for manning up and commiting himself to her at what will undoubtedly be one of the highpoints of his life.

A proposal like that is a girl's dream come true. What better way to show everyone how much the guy loves you!
I'm still replaying that last Statue play in my mind today, though it's probably because they're still talking about it on sports radio here. They were talking to the WAC commisioner this morning and he said with all due respect to BYU that this game was probably the biggest WAC win ever.
For our own team, I'm dying to know whether Colt Brennan is staying. Everyone says he probably will since it's the best thing, but he's still giving his standard "We'll see" answer. I saw him once on campus during lunch. :D

I was always patial to Barkingturtle's (or Elderon?) of putting it in your mouth and going down on her. Then come up like you're choking on something and spit it out on her belly
That sounds much more BT than Elderon.
Wouldn't that make it a cack ring, FleaJo1?
