The Greatness

Stephen Tsai has a cool blog entry today about the greatness, on and off the field, of Nate Ilaoa.

"Rocketman5000" from Bronco Country, Boise State's scout.com site, writes an article praising Colt Brennan. So much so, you'd almost think Rocketman5000 was a Hawaii football fan, except he refers to the team as the Rainbow Warriors. In any case, here's an excerpt:

Brennan nearly generated an upset of Boise State on the islands last season, as only two special teams’ touchdowns for the Broncos prevented that upset. With a year’s experience, Brennan is now the premier quarterback in the Western Athletic Conference, and he’s only going to get better.

I hope that doesn't upset Jarad Zabransky!

And finally, Dave Reardon has a column about the WAC's chances of getting some of that BCS scrilla.

This is the third of a four-year evaluation period at the end of which a conference not among the six behemoths (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-10, SEC, Big 12 and the Big East) can receive a battlefield promotion into the upper echelon ... and the automatic Bowl Championship Series bid that goes with it.

Or Boise State can go undefeated this season, but we don't want that. Even then it's not guaranteed that the BCS gods will deign to look down upon a team from the lowly WAC. So all we can do is Play UP! and hope someone notices. SIGH.
