After knocking off the Nevada Wolf Pack yesterday in Reno, the Boise State Broncos secured a trip to the Bowl Championship Series. They finish the season with a 12-0 record and their fifth consecutive WAC Champion title.

Boise State held Nevada to just 35 passing yards and 4 first downs. Ian Johnson ran for 147 yards and 3 touchdowns and broke the Boise State single season rushing record with 1,613 yards. The old record was 1,611 by Brock Forsey. Jared Zabransky finished with a season high 299 yards passing and one touchdown. Nevada’s only touchdown came on a 45 yard interception return in the 3rd quarter.

The BCS trip will be official on December 3rd after the final rankings come out. The Broncos will most likely get an invitation to the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona on January 1st at 6pm MDT. The Fiesta Bowl will be broadcast nationally on FOX.

Tickets are on sale Tuesday for season ticket holders, December 9 for students, and December 11 for the general public. Tickets will be about $150 each.

Any interested parties are welcome to come over and watch it with me on my HDTV. We can make a whole party out of it!

Scott told me about this a few days ago and I just had a chance to check it out. It seems ESPN fired Trev Alberts after he didn’t show up for work. It seems he didn’t like playing second fiddle to the guys on GameDay.

I’ve always hated this guys guts. He was hot-headed and always bashed on the smaller schools. He felt smaller conferences were not worthy and always trashed on them. Thank God he is gone, and hopefully nobody picks him up.
