I will post some more on not only the game but the season later in the week, but one common theme that has been talked about out here lately has been the need to see a big upset (and preferably road upset) this year. Winning at Boise would qualify for this. I think many of us have circled Arizona St as being a very likely target later in the year. But if we can get Boise, there's a good chance that the progress may be accelerated this year.

If winning at Boise is a big upset, your fucking program sucks.

Winning at ASU, USC, or Stanford would obviously be bigger victories.

But at the same time, we're on the road, against a team that is ranked in the Top 25, with a decided home field advantage, in a game we're double digit underdogs.

Personally, I think the line is way too high and that Boise should be about a 6-7 point favorite heading into the game.

But if you think that this wouldn't be a big win for this, or really any program on its way up the ladder, you're either fucktarded or trolling ... and in your case, good chance abundance applies.

On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is beating Idaho in the Dog Food Dome and 10 is beating Ohio St or....Oregon (vomit), it's a 5.5.

Good confidence booster, decent win, but nothing more

I think your scale is not that far off ... I'd put it somewhere around a 6 or 7 ... very nice win but definitely not a win that would scream "we're back."
