QUOTE(maynard @ Jan 2 2007, 06:39 AM) It definatly was an amazing game. It didn't end how I wanted to, but I'll get over it.
Yea I think that OU just overlooked BSU a little. They probably thought that since they came from a non BCS conference that they just couldn't compete with the big boys. That definitely was the game of the year though. Great, great job by Boise State.

Overlooked or not, I think that Bob Stoops needs to find another job...I'm not even an OU fan, but his teams are consistently over-ranked, and in that bowl game, they just got out coached...
When they first lined up to go for 2, OU called a time out, and still, BS came back out in the same formation and OU was just as clueless...OU looses big in big games, and that's not looking good to me...

USC kicker Danelo found dead at bottom of cliff
LOS ANGELES -- Southern California kicker Mario Danelo was found dead Saturday about 120 feet down a rocky cliff near Point Fermin lighthouse in the city's San Pedro section.
The body was reported by a passer-by at about 4:30 p.m., said Martha Garcia of the Los Angeles Police Department.
USC kicker Mario Danelo was discovered at the base of a cliff in Los Angeles Saturday.Danelo appeared to have suffered traumatic injuries, Garcia said.
Danelo, the 21-year-old son of former NFL kicker Joe Danelo, made 15 of 16 field goals this season and led the Trojans in scoring with 89 points. The junior made two field goals in the Rose Bowl on Monday to help USC beat Michigan 32-18.
Speaking on behalf of Trojans coach Pete Carroll, USC spokesman Tim Tessalone said: "We were stunned to hear about this tragedy. This is a great loss. Mario was a wonderful young man of high character.
"He was one heck of a kicker. He was a key ingredient in our success the past two years. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Trojan family go out to the Danelo family on this sad, sad day."
The family declined to comment.
A former San Pedro High School linebacker and soccer player, Danelo made the Trojans as a walk-on in 2003. In 2005, he received a scholarship and earned the starting kicking job.
He only missed two field goals in his career, going 26-for-28, and was 127-of-134 on extra points. In 2005, he set NCAA single-season records with 83 extra points and 86 attempts.

Foul Play Unlikely in USC Kicker's Death
Foul play likely was not a factor in the death of Southern California kicker Mario Danelo, whose body was found about 120 feet down a rocky cliff, police said Sunday.
Investigators were still examining evidence recovered after Danelo's body was found Saturday near Point Fermin lighthouse in the city's San Pedro section. While police have not completely ruled out foul play, "there didn't appear to be a crime involved,'' police Lt. Paul Vernon said.
"It was fairly apparent that this was either an accident or suicide,'' Vernon said.
An autopsy could be performed as early as Monday to determine the cause of death, coroner's officials said.
Someone flying a remote-control airplane noticed something at the bottom of the cliff and a friend hiked down to the beach and discovered the body, police officials said.
Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said investigators did not find a surf board, scuba-diving tanks or anything else to indicate Danelo might have been down there for any of the recreational activities common to the area.
Humphrey said over the years a handful of people had fallen from the cliff.
"It's entirely possible that he fell," Humphrey said.
Atop the cliff are signs forbidding entrance. They warn of unstable, slippery surfaces and steep drops. A bouquet of flowers and candles were left at the scene by onlookers late Saturday.

Reached by phone Saturday, the family declined to comment.
USC linebacker Dallas Sartz said Danelo would be remembered for his upbeat personality and dependable kicking.
"I just remember Mario was the guy who always had a smile on his face and would always cheer you up," said Sartz, a team captain.
