Coaches Thought BCS Computer Would At Least Make A Noise When Boise State Lost

INDIANAPOLIS—A number of college football coaches expressed disappointment last Friday following Boise State’s 34-31 loss to Nevada, saying they were disappointed to learn that the BCS computer doesn’t make some sort of sound to signal the defeat of the nation’s No. 4–ranked team. “Everyone was all excited that it was gonna beep or buzz or do some bells or something,” said Baylor University head coach Art Briles, who then imitated a foghorn several times, adding “that would have been a good one.” “There wasn’t even anything on the screen. There should’ve been like a big red ’X,’ or we should’ve at least seen Boise State’s name fall to the bottom of the rankings with a bomb-drop sound effect. Something.” Following an in-depth discussion, several coaches agreed that they would like someone to program “that sound effect from Minesweeper” to play when the bowl matchups are announced.
