Just got my copy today and have been re-enjoying the game. Like everyone says, a great game that every college football fan should at least watch if not own(even if you're not a fan of either team). The 4th qtr and overtime are arguably worth the asking price by itself(great comebacks by both teams!). Fortunately though, you get the entire game plus a few extras.

"Bonus Features" include:
* post game- celebration, interviews, marriage proposal, and trophy presentation. (not sure why this is in the bonus section instead of just letting it play out after the game was done though)
* short cuts- condensed version of the fox broadcast. for those who want the cliff notes on the game.
* player profiles- just a pictorial roster line-up of each team.
* fight song- Boise State's fight song sing-along(lyrics provided).
* in the trenches- "great plays from 'in the trenches' during BS's/OU's 2006 seasons".
* radio edit- "game highlights with the hometown radio calls"

Overall, a quality release; and it visually looks better than last year's USC vs Texas Rose Bowl dvd(see people's reviews for that release). But both games come highly recommended. This will help tide you over till the 2007 season starts up(i miss college football already).

im not a real boise state fan seeing as i live in ky, but i am a huge fan of college sports. i watched the boise state game against oklahoma in the fiesta bowl, and it almost gave me a heart attack. of course i was rooting for boise state just because they were the underdog. i dont even remember if i slept that night after that game. i have been watching for several years, and it is possibly the best college football game of our time. if you are thinking about buying this, quit thinking, and just buy it. i promise you wont be disappointed.

I am a football nut and this game was by far the best bowl game I have ever witnessed in my forty something years on this planet. Certainly it was one of the best I have ever seen. Many people saw this already legendary game with the insanely wild ride for the last two minutes, but far more of you missed it thinking it would be a route by Oklahoma. Here is your chance to indulge in this highly entertaining game in its entirety. I believe this will be one of those games I will want to watch every few years just to remember how great this past football season has really been on every level.

The four stars is for the DVD, which is merely okay--it has the full game, minus commercials, but it's the 4:3 version, and I don't understand why they didn't use the 16:9 version since the game was shot in that ratio. The game itself goes far beyond five stars, of course. (The Johnson-Popadics marriage proposal is in the extras, by the way.)

Quite possibly the best bowl game in many years!! This is one for the archives, even if you are not a Boise State fan!

The reactions of the fans as the drama unfolds say it all. At some point, everybody in the stadium was sure their team had won the game, then at some other point everybody was sure their team had lost the game.

This game is like a great movie where you know the ending yet you still find yourself on the edge of your seat every time you watch it. Boise State dominated the game and was doing a good job of controlling the ball and burning time as they cruised to victory...or did they? Oklahoma found a way to pull it out...or did they? Boise State had surely been handed a gut-wrenching loss...or had they? Oklahoma got down to business immediately in overtime, finally restoring order to the galaxy. Or did they? Three trick plays executed to perfection. The hero got the girl. Unbelievable.

I didn't have a dog in this hunt, and caught only the fourth quarter live, as we spent the afternoon watching our beloved Blue ignobly fall to Pete Carroll and the Trojans. We had escaped the jammed-up streets surrounding the Rose Bowl and were headed toward the freeway when I heard excited announcers on the radio proclaiming that Boise State led mighty Oklahoma, 14-0! I knew then that I had to get the game video.
When I asked around, none of my friends or their other friends or any acquaintances anyone knew at all, had t-vo'ed this game.
So I ordered it and waited about five weeks until Fox put it into general release. It was worth the wait! This game is spellbinding from start to finish; it has everything college football fans live for and crave to see. Watching the game will delight underdogs, and fans of underdogs, for decades to come.
Turns out, you see, there IS parity in the NCAA, and here in the intermountain west, we can play some football!
This video is a keeper, one for the ages, not to be missed.

This is the greatest football game of all time. I watched this game live and taped it. The game is so fantastic that I watched and re-watched it until my video tape wore out, so I bought the DVD and couldn't be more happy. The video quality is first rate and the sound is outstanding!

The original broadcast is complete minus the commercials and some of the post-game analysis. The bonus features include a shortcut version of the game that skips the time between plays, player highlights, team highlights and a segment featuring selected plays with the local Boise radio audio. It also has the post game interviews and Ian Johnson's proposal.

I was so thrilled to watch the game unfold.....one scream after another. This DVD does a bang up job of reproducing the game in different formats, fast play, normal time lapse, and highlites. I do not collect football dvds, I like vignettes of history. What a game.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas... He was so surprised and he loved watching this game again.. I know he will be watching it over and over and over.... He is very pleased with this purchase.. Thanks for having it !
