Thats Why You Play the Game

When thinking of the tail of David vs. Goliath I came to the conclusion, though a greater opponent David was able to beat Goliath. Now aside from the religious aspects of the story it boils down to David got lucky. This is what happened this past Saturday as the 1-AA Montana State Bobcats upset the Big Twelve Colorado Buffaloes. The upset outside of Boise and Boulder meant little to the landscape of College Football, but made for a good laugh in Boise, ID and a huge blow to the ego of CU supporters.

All I have heard these past two days is how Dan Hawkins is now on the hot seat. Even our own Jeff Caves of KTIK argued in today’s Beatdown segment that this was the beginning of the end for Coach Hawk. That by the end of the season Hawk and his wife will have joined the Peace Corps in Africa. I just want to remind those in Boise and Boulder that Dan Hawkins lost his first game as BSU head Coach. Granted it was to a far better South Carolina team, but a loss nonetheless. Boise State fans were calling for his job at that time as well.

As a Boise State supporter I got a kick out the whole thing, but lets be realistic. Is Coach Hawk done in Boulder? Not by a long shot. You cannot judge a season off of one game. Just because BSU killed Sac State, does that mean they are destined to win it all. No! What the opening week proved was once again that on any given day the Sun may shine on the underdog and they might get lucky. So as BSU fans, lets have our laugh, because you all know that we were busting a gut at Bronco Nation. However, lets worry about BSU and never mind what anybody else is doing.
