[Husker] Big XII gets shafted by BCS

[Lynette Tillner]

Boise State pounding Fresno State was not "notable," it was expected. Fresno State won only 3 games this year. Pat Hill, well respected here in the area was rightly fired after 15 years at Fresno State because his program has been on a slow downhill slide since 2006. Actually not as much a slide as not keeping up with the Boise State's of the Conference. 
 
When the highlight of Fresno State's year (highlights have been replayed every week all year long) wass playing well against Nebraska (and we played very poorly the first part of that game), you know you've got problems...

Don't disagree (especially about the field color! :), but think it's 
notable that they *pounded* Fresno State at home.
