Boise State has made the ultimate offer to the college football world. They’ll play any top 10 team in the nation on its home turf. No strings attached. I’ll bet no one bites.
Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier is all but begging for a major opponent – any major opponent – to play his Broncos, particularly in 2011. He can hardly get his calls returned. Not by the SEC. Not by the Big Ten. Not by anyone.
Bleymaier is making a nearly unheard of offer in college football scheduling – Boise will bring its popular, high-profile, top-10 team to any stadium in any town to play any big name team in America in 2011. And they don’t have to return the date in Idaho.
So far, no one has bit.
ESPN has even become involved trying to broker a deal that will almost assuredly be nationally televised. Still no luck.
Thanks, guys, for a terrific 2009. This was my 29th season as a Phillies fan, and I’m blessed because we are witnessing the golden age of Phillies baseball, with nine consecutive winning seasons, three consecutive division championships, two consecutive National League championships, and one World Series title. Never before has so brief a span produced so much hardware.
