There were 5 people at the game when I saw it....3 of them looked like food vendors.

Also, I did some advance calculations and using the latest proprietary algorithm I wrote, had the game played out, there is a 99.93453% chance the final score would have been:

Boston College: 42
Boise: 6

This is accurate to a +/- .3435321%.

This included taking in consideration weather, wind, barometer readings and the glare from the empty seats, which actually affected the passing game to a 2.45424% degree.

So probably best the game was called.

The algorithm should have told you BC wasn't motivated to play a g4 in the rain.....but still beat them by 36. Nice weather BC wins by 56.

RE: Boise State has fallen so hard they just cancel the meaningless bowl game
Just for fun, considering the lack of fan support for boise and for USF, I reran the algorithm using these two teams as the combatants and it actually predicted the attendance would be -32....

UCF. One of the only teams with less history than BSU. Bravo.

How exactly? We are going for 26 straight wins. Something the ugly blue track and field stadium can't do. Hope you have good vision to watch Boise State games since you're basically a half mile away from the game. Maybe they should do a 2-1. Get a track meet and football game at the same time. Especially since fan support is an issue at Boise.

Boise's best attended sport is potato digging.

The cancellation received more publicity than playing the game.

He said USF not UCF but I can see how you got confused which is why we just refer to them as U_F. Both started playing football about four years ago which adds to the confusion.

One article I read said 8 to 10,000 fans at the game. Really?

RE: Boise State has fallen so hard they just cancel the meaningless bowl game
Does a game really need to be played when only 10 people are in the stands? Go find a open field and just play kick ball or something between teams. It has as much appeal as this bowl game played at 1:00pm after Christmas.

They can refund the 10 people $15 bucks each. It will set someone back $150.

RE: Boise State has fallen so hard they just cancel the meaningless bowl game
The playoff has successfully killed any interest in bowl games that are not NY6 or Playoff Bowls. At this point it just needs to be expanded to 8 teams and raise the bar for the bowl participants to 7 or 8 wins.

I've never been sold that you should be rewarded for being .500. Maybe raising the bar slightly and decreasing the amount of bowls will peak interest again.

Sounds like Boston College has caught a case of the Hokies.
