Last Friday those who watched the Boise State v Nevada game saw one heck of a game. We witnessed talented well coached teams make plays on both sides of the ball. We saw teams that did not quit. Nevada came from a large deficit to tie the game.
We saw Boise States Kellen Moore throw a hail Mary to Titus Young who made a spectacular catch and give the Broncos a 26 yard field goal attempt with 2 seconds on the clock.
We saw last years Fiesta Bowl hero Kyle Brotzman step onto the field and attempt the game winning kick. For those that dont remember last years Fiesta Bowl featuring Boise State the the TCU Horned Frogs, the game was tied at 10 each. Boise faced a 4th and long deep inside their own territory. Brotzman came onto the field to punt, but it was a fake, With a defender right in his face, about 2 strides away, Brotz threw a perfect strike just over the punt rushers head. Kyle Efaw made the grab for 20 yards a first down and set up the game winning touchdown.
Friday did not pan out as well for KB he sent the attempt wide to the right, sending the game into overtime. Boise got the ball first and the Nevada defense helped stall the Bronco offense, forcing another field goal attempt by Brotzman, it sailed wide left. Three plays later the Nevada kicker became the toast of Reno and Wolf Pack Nation as he booted the game winner through the uprights.
As many of you know, Brotz has been the focus of scorn and ridicule of football fans across the country. Sadly Boise State fans have participated in hate campaigns directed at the senior kicker.
I am going to ask all you readers to help me. Some idiot has put up a Face Book page that is called Kyle Brotzman Sucks. Please use the following link and go to the page. You find a link on the left that says report this page. There you will find a menu that ask why. I chose it directs hate and in the drop down I chose it directs it directs hate at me or a friend.
If enough people do this, Face Book will delete that page. Nobody has hurt more than Brotz and no athlete who does the best he or she can with what they have deserves this kind of hate. All it shows is the ugly side of sports. Kyle Brotzman
