I have to laugh (a little) at some of the snobbish Boise State fans that I have seen (elsewhere) making rude comments about scheduling a school like LA Lafayette (now simply University of Louisiana). Apparently these snobbish types either don't know or have forgotten that San Diego State was beaten by LA Lafayette a little over a year ago (Dec. 2011) in the bowl game for both teams.
Other things to keep in mind about the University of Louisiana (formerly at Lafayette). Last fall they lost, in Gainesville, Florida, to the University of Florida, by only one touchdown (27-20). In 2011, in their final regular season game, before they beat San Diego State in their bowl game that season, they lost by only 8 points to the University of Arizona in a game that was played in Tuscon, AZ. (45-37 was the score).
