Turner Gill has brought respectability back to Buffalo. Congratulations Bulls. Sabres, enough with the referees. This is a huge step for this school. They deserve to celebrate their first ever MAC Championship.

Ball State, IMO, should file a complaint with the MAC or the NCAA about that awful officiating.
Oklahoma did it after the Oregon game a few years back; Ball State should do the same thing.

THIS is the MAC chammpion?
A team that finished behind three other teams in the conference and won a title virtually on the worst call I've ever seen.
Enjoy your tainted "title"- I hope they lose by 6 touchdowns in their bowl game!

????????
Buffalo won thier side of the division ....
Missouri ended up winning thier division and was 2 games behind Ok, Texas and Tech ...

While you can claim bad calls halting drives, it was Ball State themselves who fumbled away the victory, not the refs. Buffalo played better tonight than Ball St. plain and simple. Give em' a break.
Ball St sucked anyway. Their best win was over a 3-9 Indiana team and they refused to play Boise St in the Humanitarian Bowl. Have fun in whatever crappy bowl game the MAC runner up goes to.
Anders, your such a putz.
Ball State is a small school that has had a great year.
I too would not want to go play a school that wants to play a HOME game for a bowl game ... Boise State, boy I bet the fans and players are thrilled to travel this year, all the way down the street.
As I have said before NO ONE should play a HOME game in a BOWL (Unless it's in a playoff ).
Boise State appeared to be afraid to play Ball State anywhere else ....
Ball State technically is tied into the Moter City and the GMAC bowl games, unfortunatly.

Whatever. No one on here has ever said their team won because another SEC team won. That's in your head because you can't get over the fact that it's been your team taking the ass kicking.

Good teams aren't afraid to play anyone. Only teams that have artificially good records are wimps. Playing Boise St would have been the ONE opportunity Ball St would have had to prove that they are legit. Instead they pussed out and then choked against Buffalo anyway. Now they get to live their dream of playing a 6-6 opponent in a bowl game.
Tulsa/East Carolina was another example of how turnovers can allow any morons to luck out
7 turnovers for Tulsa.
Then again, Tulsa would have gone to the Liberty Bowl had they won, and they'll go to the GMAC Bowl. Not much of a difference when you think about it.
Buffalo and East Carolina- living proof that any blind squirell can find a nut
Conference USA, like the MAC, has an UNWORTHY CHAMPION!

Hear that?
That's the sound of a nation yawning at another Virginia Tech BCS berth.
This team is offensively flawed and boring to watch.
The Hokies should be thankful they have a defensive genius in Bud Foster, because this is the most laughably bad offensive unit for a team that will play in a BCS game.

I was checking SI.com's bowl schedule and affiliates with conferences, and I noticed something:
Liberty
Jan. 2, 5 p.m. (ESPN)Memphis, Tenn. SEC vs. CUSA No. 1
GMAC
Jan. 6, 8 p.m. (ESPN)Mobile, Ala. CUSA No. 2 vs. MAC No. 1/2 or WAC
According to that format, with East Carolina going to the Liberty Bowl and Buffalo having accepted a bid to the International Bowl, the GMAC Bowl could have a game between the Conference USA and MAC title game runners-up.
We could have a Ball State/Tulsa GMAC Bowl- now THAT would be entertaining!

Bill posted this picture of the Red Sox during the MLB playoffs, and I think it sums up the Hokies:
Virginia Tech just keeps coming back to bore a nation to tears!

Seems Florida takes their "Coffee" down the throat!
Bama looking good so far, although I wish they would've succeeded on that fake FG.

NO .....
I'm tired of the SEC fans that say WE Won when your team was NOT in the game, thats all.
