Boise State Kicker Grabs Pistol after game

UPI reports that the Boise State kicker that missed two field goals (one wide to the right,one to the left) allegedly grabbed a Police Officers pistol and attempted to shoot himself.

He is alive but under observation. The shot was wide to the right.....

UNR did not beat Boise...Boise gave it away. But a win is a win.....UNR is in a 3 way WAC tie with Hawaii and Boise. One game to go.

Boise loses out on the Rose Bowl and it's slim chance at the National Championship.....

Sick joke...actually, I think he missed both to the left.

I was hoping to see a top team upset today...it wasn't Boise State I wanted to see lose.

Congratulations to Nevada for a well played game...they really cranked things up once Mo Mentum switched to their side.

I guess you guys didn't watch much of the first half.....all year UNR has had a schizo defense. Plus, how do you let the fastest guy on the field get behind you when he's doubled teamed with 9 seconds left and a tie ball game?

He should have been buried on the line, and hung with washing on the run out.....

The kicker said the phoeey word and will probably be in therapy for the next year.

The fact that Boise didn't runaway with the score in the first half shows that they aren't the team the rating system thought they were.

Those teams like Boise, Hawaii, etc. are a joke. They play nobody. Who cares if they get a bunch of meaningless wins against San Jose State, etc.? If Boise had to play Auburn's schedule, they'd have 4-5 losses and wouldn't even be a top 25 team.

No, they did not, no matter what your "emotional" side tells you.

You mean like the 2007 fiesta bowl when Boise st. beat Oklahoma?
Or 2010 fiesta bowl when Boise st. beat #4 ranked TCU?
Or like when Utah spanked Alabama in the 2009 sugar bowl?



The real joke here is LSU. All year long the clowns have been trying to figure out how to get a slightly above-average BCS team above the non-BCS teams.
They've been hyping LSU every week, trying to justify moving them up when it isn't justified at all.

What's the difference between LSU and Boise st?
Boise st. lost one close game IN TWO YEARS because their kicker missed two easy field goals.

LSU has won 4 games this year by flukes, trick plays, fake field goals, stoopid defensive penalties on the last play that had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, etc.
They've won 7 games this year by one touchdown or less! And you talk about a schedule, how about powerhouses as Vanderbilt, McNeese st., and UL-Monroe.

It's a coin toss, the luck of the draw that makes LSU over-ranked and Boise st. under-ranked.

Can not argue much here...other than I alway thought that the team with the most points did indeed "beat" the other team. Silly me.

I'm just pissed that the Ducks keep winning. Arrogant is about as strong a word I can use here...

Oh well, they can beat on the meager Beavers next Saturday.

To come back the way Nevada did after a lousy first half, I have to give credit where credit is due.

Nevada beat Boise, plain and simple. They played a heck of a game.

and on the topic of football - I hope you guys saw the "best smackdown of a defender by a QB" last week

IIRC, it was Stanford's QB (?) - he even paused after he crushed one guy into the grass* - kinda gave the impression he might tear the guy in half or kick him a few times; but then he decided to continue his run.


or grass like substance they use nowadays

Yeah, but it didn't have to be that close.....Reno's defense stepped on their collective dicks.....

that auburn/alabama game was unbelievable.

the SEC teams really have a hard time making it to the National Championship game. They have FIVE teams in the top 15, and they beat each other up all season, and then in the SEC Championship game.

very tough for them. Would Oregon be undefeated if they had to play Auburn (2), LSU (5), Alabama (9), Arkansas (10) and S. Carolina (15) during their regular season? And then win the SEC Championship game, too? Maybe. But I think the odds are against it.

Maybe.

As a loyal LSU fan, I definitely agree that the SEC is tough, very tough - always has been.

It was hell when Bear Bryant came to Baton Rouge too - GRRRR
