Boise State Fiesta Bowl Highlights

[WarpedSpud]

Bad video, worse music, the worst team.

[brasteen1]

whats with this music ??????

[notredameswarrior1]

this music is gay....just like boise!

[darkjak144]

@notredameswarrior1 and just like you

[3icemonkey]

AWESOME for boise, but think how oklahoma feels... SUCKERS!!!!!

[slipknotloveskorn]

This is by-far my favorite game. I always get a tear to my eye when i see the broncos win this game!

[KickMeAndCancel]

Nessun Dorma and football - awesome. Quite possibly the most amazing bowl game ever

[RedbeardNC]

This aria, surprisingly to some probably, is really fitting....the general translation for the ending is "I will win" (vincero).

[paulisawesome3]

BOISE STATE!!! I'm always for the underdog :)

[mpmcd81]

Oh, by the way, Lynn Swann did ballet, and I would say that he's anything but gay.

[MrNelsonWayne]

Boise State again in 2009 underated as usual. Stand up BCS you 2 know what will happen if you ignore us>

[CobainStJohns]

You'll cry and then lose in a second tier bowl game, we know the drill. Hey, you're referring to "Anti-trust", and that goes out the window if TCU goes to the NC game. All of the FBS conference commissioners signed a contract acknowledging that non BCS conferences are not guaranteed or entitled to have a  mid major to be in a BCS bowl if a conference champion from a BCS conference is not in the top 12, which could happen if Clemson or Nebraska wins. Look it up.

[theurge14]

What's up with this, Boise State fans? 20 videos of this game on Youtube and they all have ridiculous music drowning out the game sound. C'mon.

[RJLxboxlive09]

gay music

[Kory4000]

@RJLxboxlive09

What's gay about it? Cuz you don't like it? You sound like you're a homophobe. Were you raped as a boy? There There

[MYhEaRtbEatsNeVErR]

what kind of music is this?!!!!!!!!!!!

[mpmcd81]

One of the most beautiful tenor arias of Giacomo Puccini, from the last act of his opera Turandot. It is sung by Calaf, il principe ignoto (the unknown prince), who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. However, any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles; if he fails, he will be beheaded.

[mpmcd81]

Calaf correctly answered all three riddles in the act prior to this aria. But Turandot recoils at the thought of marrying him. Calaf offers Turandot one last chance by allowing her to guess his name. If she guesses correctly, she can execute him. If not, she must marry him on the next day. This aria is sung in the last act by Calaf.

[mpmcd81]

The cruel and emotionally cold princess Turandot then decrees that none of her subjects are to sleep that night until his name is discovered. If they fail, all will be killed. As the final act opens, it is now night. Calaf is alone in the moonlit palace gardens. In the distance, he hears Turandot's heralds proclaiming her command. His aria begins with an echo of their cry and a reflection on Princess Turandot.

[mpmcd81]

Calaf:

"Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore, e di speranza!"

"Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; il nome mio nessun saprà! No, No! Sulla tua bocca lo dirò quando la luce splenderà!"

"Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia!"

Chorus:

"Il nome suo nessun saprà... E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir!"

Calaf:

Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò

[mpmcd81]

Calaf:

"None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess, in your cold bedroom, watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope!"

"But my secret is hidden within me; none will know my name! No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines!"

"And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!"

Chorus:

"No one will know his name... and we will have to, alas, die, die!"

Calaf:

"Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win!"

[mpmcd81]

This is a beautifully appropriate song to use here because the BCS absolutely recoiled at the idea of having the undefeated Boise State in the title game and gave BSU a very difficult opponent to which they were supposed to lose. Yet, Boise State answered with a riddle of their own to which Oklahoma could not answer.

And in the end, We have Boise State singing, "Vincero! Vincero! Vincero!"

[AlbinoGangstaz]

I cannot express the hate in my heart I have for this comment you left. It is sickening and you sound very dumb.

[mpmcd81]

Oh, really. Hate me all you want.

Vincero!

[JayLen0]

oprah isnt meant for football.

[mpmcd81]

Yes, Oprah Winfrey was not made for football. Opera, however, particularly this aria, is so perfectly appropriate and fitting.

[kukua1]

I think the opera is a great companion to the video, hell of a lot more original than than another video with some stupid overplayed rock song. I don't know how many videos there are on youtube showing football highlights with Disturbed or Three Days Grace or whatever playing, this was refreshing.

[zackman47]

ruined the vid with the opera music

[freakymisbah]

dude the music is soooo gay!!!!

[CrasEntertainment]

@freakymisbah Nessun Dorma is gay? One of the best arias ever written and you call it gay?

[Cryofax]

@CrasEntertainment Comon now, I'm sure he's an expert in what is gay.

[SuperThompson7]

yes i agree Oz349 im always a BSU fan inspeicial when im from idaho myslef

[bigkmosh]

i completelt agree with rockout.. gay music choice

[chrismtltube]

Yeah, really... homosexual. Or something.

Get a life, bigkmosh.

[RockOut446]

you fucked it up with the music

[Doyenator]

Why the stupid Opera!!!!!!!!

[ra9975]

stupid opera???!!!! wow...couldn´t see a more ignorant comment....try to translate it!...worth a brain....

[PIERCEY74]

what the hell is with the opera

[coachwigton]

YA BABY!!!!

[NDIrishfan21]

love Nessun Dorma. My favorite opera along with one of my favorite games of all time.

[redwingsdatsyuk97]

whats with the goddam spanish music

[ninjasauce15]

its Italian bro. And Pavarotti is a freakin beast.

[kingadalou]

lol HOMO

[Deucex1]

oh my gosh that music was horrible i had to mute the freakin video

[YOpeepsitsdavid]

no doubt, regardless of who was playing who and how boise state/oklahoma have done since this game, and regardless of what conferences both teams are in, you have to admit that this game is possibly one of the greatest of all time. Some nobody bunch of Mormons come down to play a team with one of the greatest histories in college football history, and with strength, determination, and a few gadgets, they shocked the world. Best bowl game ever played, period.

[cougrrr]

Since when is BSU a Mormon school?

[YOpeepsitsdavid]

I've never been there myself, but I have a cousin who had to transfer out of there because he was so freaked out by all the mormons. It's right in their area, so it doesn't really suprise me.

[Oz349]

Well said, I'm a Huge Sooner fan, and even I loved that game, we got down early, then came back, had the lead, and the Broncos threw everything they had at us, as far as I'm concerned, they used 3 Trick plays to beat us, They wanted it more, They deserved it more, congrats, but don't expect it to happen again, BSU has earn my respect!!

[ringgo228]

the Statue of Liberty play and the Circus play shocked the whole world.

[elmestengo]

this game was bloody brilliant!

[greesedwhale123]

ok u cant say shit about texas cuz they good this year..i might be a little biased cuz im from austin texas but still, the only reason they not #1 is cuz 1 dumbass fuckin play that the raiders made to win, they beat OU, MIZZOU, and OK STATE all in a row...OU's defense sucks balls, ou gave up losts of points but just scored a lot, and texas held ou to 35 points, which was there season low, and we won, so thats pretty dam good to me

[dxdude2004]

HAHA! Good one Huskersfan, Texas A&M wouldn't dominate BSU, baylor wouldn't Oklahoma State might.

[thebest5368]

remember when no one gave boise state a chance? and gusse what they won and no one is giving utah a chance so guesse what is going to happen.

[ericvick7]

and utah fucking won!!!! which was awesome as hell

[pyrodiablo]

this is from the tom clancy movie, sum of all fears

[pacificislander670]

BOISE STATE is UNDEFEATED that year and this YEAR to!

why are they so good???

i heard they're being invited to the Mountain West Conference

[shotblocker6]

ther so good becuse they play shit eaten teams. go longhorns!!!!

[CrackenO07]

go longhorns!, fuck the BCS

[bw3029]

and oklahoma's a shit eaten team?

[fol2005]

It's a lot easier to go undefeated when you only have to play 1 good team.

If Bosie is in the Big 12 or SEC, they'd be a 5-7, 6-6 team instead of 12-0.

[joefutbol1984]

That makes a lot of sense considering they beat Oklahoma in the video you are commenting on. I forgot, who won the Big 12 this year?

[fol2005]

Congratulations to Boise for beating the Big 12 champs by having to pull out trick plays in what is considered one of the biggest upsets in Bowl history.

Now, don't you think that is an argument for why they wouldn't make it in a REAL conference. I would love to see Boise play KU, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma all in a row. My guess is they would be lucky to come away with 1 win.

How about playing Georgia, Florida, LSU, or Alabama. Get real.

[joefutbol1984]

Did you not watch the game? Oklahoma needed 24 second half points, 14 coming from an 11 yard drive and a defensive touchdown, to even put Boise in that position. It's not like it was some fluke and that was the only good team they have ever beaten. Missouri? They never did crap til last year, and who have they beaten thats any good? Nobody played all those teams in a row, and KU, Nebraska, and Mizz would not beat Boise. And Georgia and LSU? Where are they ranked?

[fol2005]

Boise State has little man syndrome it seems.

You're ranked high every year because you play shit for teams. How exciting can it be to play such horrible teams?

The SEC, Big 12, and Big 10 have much better athletes than Boise. Everyone knows that. That's why your in the Poinsietta Bowl. You think if a Big 12/10/SEC team went undefeated they'd be in that Bowl?

I mean you played 5 teams with a winning record. That's fucking pathetic.

[bw3029]

you can't judge a team on who they play. how do you KNOW boise state wouldn't do well in the big 12? they only big 12 team theyve played in recent years is oklahoma. they won. so as far as im concerned, boise state would dominate the big 12 because as of now they're undefeated against big 12 teams. and this isnt any big 12 team either. this is OKLAHOMA. adrian peterson was on this sooner team too. i dont know how you can say boise state isn't legit.

[fol2005]

Yes, I'm sure all the top recruits in the nation want to go to school in Boise Idaho to play in the WAC.

[Huskersforlife]

You ask how do you know boise state wouldn't do well in the big 12, and then you turn around and say they would dominate the big 12? Are you kidding me? This Oklahoma squad they upset wasn't as good as this year's Oklahoma. I hate every team in the Big 12 South except for Baylor, and everyone in the Big 12 South except for Baylor, Texas A&M, and maybe Oklahoma State would dominate Boise State. And that's just in the south. Missouri would beat them, and hell, even Nebraska has a chance.

[wesia4lia]

95 NU best team of all time

[submergedabovewater]

lsu and georgia aren't ranked highly because they actually play conference teams with a more than mediocre defense. so they don't have a chance to score "style points" that all the media loves seeing. that's why oklahoma is ranked so high, play no one and throw the ball for 700 yards. yeah, play a real team.

[joefutbol1984]

Lol excuses for why they suck huh? Lets start with the tough defenses Georgia plays-

South Carolina w averaged giving up 20 points a game, Georgia scores 14

ASU- gave up 23 a game, UGA scored 27

Tennessee- UCLA scored more points than Georigia = pathetic

Vanderbilt gave up 20 a game, UGA scored 24

Florida gave up 13 a game, Georgia scored 10

Auburn gave up 18 a game, Georgia scored 17

Maybe Georgia's offense just sucks and they are overrated. They cant score vs average defenses.

[joefutbol1984]

As for LSU, gimme a break. They gave up 31 points and needed a miracle comeback to beat Troy. In their last 8 games they got their asses kicked twice, and lost to Mississippi and Arkansas. Arkansas scored more points on LSU than they did on any other team all season. Style points dont mean jack, try beating a decent team before you worry about style points. Who did LSU or Georgia beat that was ANY good all year? Name me one team. Just one please. Can't do it? I didn't think so.

[submergedabovewater]

you are comparing sec offenses to sec defenses dumbass!!! You're just proving that the sec does have the best defensive teams. Show me some stats of sec teams playing non conference teams. What non sec team can impressively score on an sec defense?

[termanogue]

well if your claiming that it is better its assumed that you know the answer to your question therefore if you wanted to prove your point shouldn't YOU have provided those facts, instead of relying on opinion and waiting for someone to prove you right?

[joefutbol1984]

That is because he is wrong....

[joefutbol1984]

Georgia gave up 93 in 4 non conference games, two of which were Georgia Southern and Central Michigan.

South Carolina gave up 13 a piece to Wofford and UAB, and 31 to Clemson.

Vandy gave

[submergedabovewater]

that would be like me picking the worst teams in the big 12 and say they lost to good schools. baylor gave up 41 to wake forest, and 34 to oklahoma state. mizzou gave up 40 to kansas, who the hell gives up 40 to kansas? Texas a&m gave up 41 to miami? wth? how did oklahoma like that 45 they gave up to texas?

[joefutbol1984]

What do you mean I chose the worst teams? So 9 out of 12 teams are the worst in the conference? You make no sense. And you were talking non conference games, so talking Oklahoma vs Texas is irrelevant. Just because they get a free pass to the title game and beat Ohio State doesnt make the SEC the best conference. You think LSU really deserved it last year after losing to Arkansas and Kentucky?

[submergedabovewater]

who's texas' biggest non conference win over? arkansas? a team you didn't even in the top of your sec rankings? which they don't belong there btw. and oklahoma's biggest non conference win? i don't even know. why don't you tell me? is oklahoma's biggest win over cincinnati, washington or TCU? those are some real football programs there. you have to be a real team to beat WASHINGTON AND TCU.

[joefutbol1984]

Who gives two shits about Texas? I never brought them up, so why are you?

But, Ark gave up more points to Texas than any other team all year. If the SEC defense is so good, why can all the non conference opponents score so much?

You make fun of Oklahoma beating TCU, yet TCU is ranked #11! TCU is better than ANY team anyone in the SEC played. That is by far the most ignorant comment Ive read to date.

You prove your ignorance and my arguments every time you reply. Keep up the good work.

[submergedabovewater]

Hey buddy, how did you like that sec defense? What was it you said? The sec isn't that good? The sec doesn't play a team better than tcu? So are you saying that oklahoma isn't good? And florida just beat a team that wasn't good? NC champs 3 years in a row. There is proof that the sec has done something impressive that your were asking for. Florida is gonna win it again next year then bama or lsu the year after. So get used to it bitch.

[joefutbol1984]

Vandy gave up 21 to Rice, 23 to Wake Forest, and lost to DUKE!

Tennessee gave up more points (27) to UCLA than to all SEC opponents (minus FL @ 30 and Bama @29)

Miss gave up 30 to Wake Forest and 24 to Memphis.

LSU gave 13 to APP St and 31 to Troy.

Auburn gave up 34 to WV and 20 to Tennessee-Martin.

And Arkansas, wow they gave up an average of 32 a game in 4 non conference games.

Miss St gave up 22, 22, 10, and 38.

I say again.... Defense? What defense?

[submergedabovewater]

wait, what? what? are you crying about? the sec has won the national title for the last 2 years? 3 counting when they win this year? what are you bitching about? the sec is the best conference in the nation? yeah, i though so. those are the worst teams in the conference.

[joefutbol1984]

Lol the SEC is the best conference? This year they were 3-6 against the SEC, and they are 7-10 against the PAC 10 in the BCS era, and were very close to being 5-12, when your powerhouse LSU barely beat middle of the road Pac 10 teams. What has anyone in the SEC proved this year?

The SEC looks like this-

#1 Florida

#2 Alabama

#3 Georgia

#4 Mississippi

#5 South Carolina

#6 Vanderbilt

Name the best team anyone in the top half of the conference has beaten.

[termanogue]

its funny, he asks you to provide the facts then when you do provide them he claims you're crying when he's choking because he's wrong. This is why i want college football playoffs.

[submergedabovewater]

okay. how about alabama stopping their opponents to 169 points in 13 games? that 14.5 points per game. that's pretty damn impressive. how about florida doing the same in 13 games? and hanging half a hundred on just about everyone? and oklahoma gives up 319points in 12 games? where's the defense? and texas gives up 223?

[joefutbol1984]

Geez you are retarded. Nobody said the Big 12 had great defense, and Im not saying they do. Im saying the SEC doesn't have very good defense. You contradict yourself completely. You say how good the SEC defenses are and then go on to talk about how Florida put so many points up on them. And Alabama's defense looks so great because they play against horrible offenses. The SEC only has 3 teams that rank in the top 50 in offense. It's not the D that makes them look good, its the PATHETIC offense.

[Perryownsyou]

Thanks for putting Vandy up there. Makes me happy that someone knows that Vandy can put up a tough fight. :)

[submergedabovewater]

Oh i forgot, you told me to name the best team that the conference has beaten...... hmmmm.... let me think,........ ohhhh yeeeeaaahh that's right, how about the florida gators beating the oklahoma sooners in the national championship game? Is that impressive enough for you? Don't brag about the sec not being a good conference if your conference can't beat them when it matters.

[Oz349]

Hell yeah man, Big 12 and SEC are two great confrences, great players, great speed, Only Big 12 uses the speed on Offense, SEC on Defense, OU against UF was a great game!! I'm a huge Sooner fan, but the Gators were the better team that day!! SEC is the best confrence, 3 years in a row, I think it should be SEC vs Big 12 every year, all these southern boys know how to play REAL football!!

[submergedabovewater]

wait, what was the best team you played all year? texas? you know, come january the sec is going to kick the crap out of oklahoma Sooner than later!!! haha!!! i crack myself up. seriously floida is the best team in the nation and will kill yall.

[Indiocerveza]

"Queer music"?!?! That is the queerest thing I have ever heard. Jesus. Will the ignorance NEVER cease?

[jack16895]

@Indiocerveza this isnt queer music, this is real music but it shouldnt be put to this. This music is used in movies to show some awful bloody struggle or triumph or something like that.

[ardeophyte]

I'm not normally a fan of opera, but I thought that this was quite original and very well done. Thanks for it. People would do well to branch outside the crap that is played on top 40 radio and every other stereotypical songs that are set to sports videos.

[youtubian423]

get a life

[Favrepack044]

lol dude this music is the worst thing that has EVER entered my ears

[tank1229]

another highlight video gayed by the music

[Favrepack044]

queer music

[Needhamizer]

When you grow up, and all of your trendy music and "friends" have left you behind... maybe you'll give this song a chance. It is far and above one of the most powerful songs ever written... but you clearly have years ahead of you till you discover this.

[youtubian423]

i didnt realize 80 year olds could use computers. people like the music and having friends because of trendy music makes no sense. You just have no friends

[Chas3Visa]

I remember boise state was undifeted and i knew that with all there heart and strength they could win and they will do the exact same thing this year in the rose bowl

[granitrocmonster]

idahobuckeye, don't forget that Oklahoma very likely could have been playing in the national championship that year if the terrible Pac-10 refs hadn't given Oregon a win against them back in September. That was their only other loss. As for the music on this video, I think it's perfectly timed to the highlights, even if opera and college football are a different combination, to say the least.

[TheKid324]

Man, this was a good ass game, I remember thinking to myself that Boise State was good, but they didn't have a chance against Oklahoma.

[buckeyebeast4343]

great video...shit music

[10sridle]

Best college game I've seen

[zorak1997]

Thanks for not putting crappy, contemporary, lame-o music on the video. If I click on one more sports highlight video that I want to see that gets killed by Coldplay....

[endofthelinez53]

vincero!

[saxmax88]

actually, west virginia is just better than oklahoma. don't take anything away from what boise state did either. that was just an incredibly amazing display of strategy and pure coaching, as well as superior game planning.

[jeffe4uga]

not the best bowl game of all time. I think this past Fiesta Bowl proved just how shittie Oklahoma is in bowl games, not to rain on Boise State's parade but it's true. Plenty of better bowl games than this one.

[raceway24]

Such as???

[idahobuckeye]

Such as? I can name plenty!

1. Ohio State 31, Miami 24 (2OT) (Fiesta)

2. Texas 41, USC-38 (Rose)

3. Miami 31, Nebraska 30 (Orange)

4. Penn State 14, Miami 10 (Fiesta)

5. Florida State 18, Nebraska 16

Note these were all championships, for all the marbles. BSU beat a bad OU team to win. Let the flames begin

[8dawg98]

Couldn't agree more. This game had a spectacular fourth quarter and ot, but other than that, this game was nothing special.

[smokenwhiteshoes]

My favorite College football game ever!

Jim Oregon/Oregon State

[AllOrNothing90]

incredible

[horsejiz]

sTOP IT WITH THE MUSIC! You are not that good.

[jokkmockchock]

who said anything about this being potts?

[kevbo548]

holy shit what awful music

[xcrunner1652]

I think the Music fits perfect. Potts was the ultimate underdog, just as boise was!

[batezo]

the music is syncd perfectly. nice job. best bowl game of all time.

[thephi87]

Nice job Boise

[BAMID13]

good job but it needs a new song

[kuttybrown]

nice video weak music weak football team.nice highlight go bruins

[x7knights]

sry bad choice of music, but good video

[crodaddy]

great video well done i like the celebration/proposal at the end

[lilseminole]

Boise State deserved the national championship they cant be stopped

[sukimendo11]

definitely the best bowl game ever.

[spinfin]

winning highlights all the way. thanks for posting for one of the best college bowl games ever.

[Monual]

Opera and football - what can go wrong? =) Very nice.

[marktheshark17]

Well done.

Its different in a good way.
