damn I hate Kellen Moore first of all. Now its up to an Oregon State if
they go undefeated? this is ridiculous! why were they paired with VT
because of the new nike pro combat uni's that came out??
And yeah, they were paired w/VT just to show off the new combat unis (not because they scheduled this game YEARS in advance)...
Nope your wrong. They scheduled this game back in June 2009, when the 'Cuse cancelled a home/away series with VaTech. They had an opening and Boise State stepped up. Boise State has always wanted to play someone from the eastern coastal conferences, but no one was willing to schedule them. ESPN help broker the deal, just like what they did when they schedule Boise State at Ole Miss later this year. They want ratings and they know small school Boise State facing big school powerhouses draws big ratings. Va Tech got over $2 million to host the game in D.C., while Boise is only collecting little over a million to get them scheduled.
Originally, they were scheduled for Oct 2, but ESPN needed a primetime game for MNF. This was available, both teams had talent coming back, would be both be highly ranked, so they moved it up in February 2010. Nike just jumped in from a marketing and sales standpoint to cash on their pro combat unis.
