I have seen quite a few articles and posts on various sites recently, some by UC fans, comparing us to Boise State. No disrespect to Boise State, they have had a phenominal last few years and always field a very talented and successful team. Other than the fact that both programs are beginning to get the respect they deserve (possibly more than they deserve in Boise's case) I do not know what the similarities are.
UC is in a BCS conference, plays a couple of tough nonconference BCS teams each year, then battles it out in a very competitive Big East Conference. Boise State plays one tough BCS nonconference team each year and then cruises through the dredge of the WAC.
My point is I am thrilled that we are starting to get national attention but in order to truly be respected we need to be mentioned in the same breath with Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, etc., not with Boise State.
