Tuesday Evening Mathematics Lesson: Trust In Thy Theorem

Oh boy.  We're getting closer to that time of year when we'll have a college football game on almost every night of the week.  That, my friends, is good news.  And to get us ready for that tsunami of action, we have a Tuesday night tease that gets the Locks fired up.  Not only do we get to watch some pigskin tonight, we get to put the Boise State Theorem through the paces and compile additional data to support or refute its underlying hypothesis.  Throw in an isosceles triangle, a corollary of the law of cosines and a limp-wristed javelin throwing style and we are in nerd heaven.

Five Star Special:

Louisiana Tech @ Boise State - Line is Boise State -38 - There will be no disproving the Theorem this evening.  In fact, this is the quintessential Theorem setup.  The required proofs for demonstrating the foundation for the Theorem are all at work in abundance this evening.  Let us review:

• A nationally televised game providing the stage for Boise to make its case to all college football fans and voters without other distractions.
• A week featuring another BCS poll that has slapped the Broncos in the face.  First it was Oklahoma leap-frogging Boise in the BCS rankings for no good reason (how did that work out for you Sooners?) and now Auburn.  Boise got hit with disrespect card on the river and the whole world witnessed that bad beat.
• A woefully inferior opponent who is still trying to figure out how it is in the same conference as Boise State.  How do you travel from Louisiana all the way to Idaho without ever leaving your conference?  The level of resistance provided by La Tech tonight will be roughly on par with an effort by Brett Favre to avoid the spotlight.
• The Blue Turf.  This game is being played in Boise.  That is never good for the opponent or the point spread.

Needless to say, the Locks postulates that the Broncos will roll La Tech in unbelievably dominating fashion.  Pack up the babies and hide the old ladies because this is not something that should be witnessed by the faint of heart or immune-compromised.  We're laying the points - all 38 of them.  That spread might even be busted by halftime.  Give me the Broncos, Give me the Theorem.  Boise State wins 66-10.  LOCK IT UP
