Ball State rejects a bid to face Boise State in the Humanitarian Bowl.
Personally, I would love to see how Ball State would do against a big time program like Boise, HOWEVER, I 100% agree with why Ball State turned the bid down.
The Humanitarian bowl is played in Boise, Idaho. Boise State University is located in BOISE FREAKIN IDAHO. It's a home game for the Broncos on the Smurf Turf and therefore, completely unfair. I'm not saying that I disagree with the Broncos playing a home bowl game, I am just saying that I disagree with the Broncos playing a home bowl game against Ball State.
All of you Ball State and MAC football fans out there, raise your hands if you would make the trip to Idaho to watch this game....ok player and coach family members put your hands down...ok there's 3 hands and one of them is David Letterman. I am all for Ball State going to a bowl game that their suddenly loyal fan base would travel to, instead of driving in the back of a pickup truck (you know how those Indiana people roll) all the way to Idaho.
The only problem I have with it is this. A Boise State/Ball State matchup would be a matchup of two undefeated teams. Now that Ball State has put the kibosh on this game, any other bowl game they would go to and perhaps win, could almost be considered an asterisk on an otherwise perfect season. Now, if they were to for some reason lose to Buffalo tomorrow in the MAC Championship Game...then this point is moot as moot can be.
That's all for tonight, time to go to the bar with Otter.
