Boise St. president responds to OSU jab
Boise State's president said his counterpart at Ohio State's claim that Big Ten and Southeastern Conference teams play a ''murderer's row'' schedule ''is the
greatest exaggeration I think we've heard this year in college football.'
In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Bob Kustra angrily responded to Ohio State President Gordon Gee's statement that TCU and Boise State don't deserve to be in the Bowl Championship Series title game even if they run the table.
Gee said of the power conferences' schedules: ''We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor.''
Kustra had Ohio State's last two schedules in front of him ? the Buckeyes have played Southern California and Miami, in addition to several mid-majors and directional schools ? and said, ''If they're not playing the Little Sisters of the Poor, they're playing the Little Brothers.''
He added: ''Maybe President Gee doesn't go to the games of the teams that are not in his Big Ten, but he's playing some easy marks.''
TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte also stepped into the fray, defending the Horned Frogs' unblemished record.
''We only worry about our house and what we do at TCU,'' he said. ''I'll put our record up against anybody.''
Kustra said he had to speak up after hearing Gee's comments'

''The formula these days for BCS teams is get seven or eight home games, play one non-conference game against a team from another BCS league, schedule three or four patsies and try not to leave the state if you can help it,'' he said.
He also said that the SEC's Florida Gators have not left the state to play a non-conference, regular-season opponent since 1991.

In summary: The Bosie State president thinks, that since BCS teams play 2 or 3 weak non conference game opponents, Bosie State's schedule is just as tough as any of the BCS team's schedules. The guy must be an idiot, the point is that Boise State's entire conference schedule is patsies. If Boise State was in the SEC or Big 10 they would probably only be 4-4 in conference play in lieu of any easy 8-0 vs the other 8 WAC patsies.
