One of the best games in a long time. I am a long time OU fan and expected to go to bed early because OU margin of winning towards Boise was going to be so large there would be no point.I was on the edge of my seat until the last second of overtime. I am still a avid Ou fan but was very impressed with Boise's playing and skill level. With a 13-0 season and awesome playing in the Fiesta Bowl Boise should play Ohio. Oklahoma did great and had some great plays but Boise was just alittle ahead of us this game. It's alright we got next year to kick butt!

One of the best Bowl Games Ive seen and to be honest OU made some very critical mistakes but Boise did as well and kept OU hanging around all in all great game that will raise some questions on how the National Champ Should be decided considering Boise is still undefeated (with a weak schedule though) and by beating one of the best teams in the nation in that fashion very impressed at that game

I missed the 2002 Fiesta Bowl (I was travelling back home from the holidays), but this year's Fiesta Bowl was better than both the 2005 and 2006 Rose Bowls.
The 1983 Orange Bowl would be the closest. It was almost the same type situation with Miami (then considered a small time unkown) facing what might be the greatest college team of all time. Except it was Nebraska coming back and being faced with a decision about going for 2. With no overtime back then, Nebraska could win the national championship with a tie, but chose to go for 2 anyway. Alas, they failed and Miami pulled off one of the great upsets of all time.
(2005 and 2006 weren't even the best Rose Bowls. CalTech's feat in the 1961 Rose Bowl has to be the greatest 'upset' in Rose Bowl history - http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/pranks/rosebowl.html )

It was the best college game I've ever watched! I've never seen so many changes in fortune in such a short period of time. I give the Boise State coach lots of kudos for going for the two point conversion right away to take avantage of their momentum at that time. That's the beauty of this game, that it ended quickly, on a move of sheer guts. I don't overtime games that go on and on and on.

Sorry your Sooners lost but the game was fantastic.
This game is living proof why there should be a playoff system implemented in NCAA football. Fans would love it.
If they can put 64 NCAA basketball teams in a tournament then I'm sure they can make a 16 game playoff bracket for NCAA football.

We (Oklahoma) gave that game away. We came back in the 2nd half, clocked them, then handed them the victory. I am very dissappointed in the OU football program. I am on the fence about wether or not this may be Coach Stoops fault. I know that many of you revere and love Coach Stoops, but we are not winning anymore and you cannot ignore that or keep blaming it on players that have gotten into trouble off the field. Give me back my winning team!
