  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).
  
  
  
  

• Great Cap To A Great Season Of Football

  
  By A3AY9OT5NG38O0 on 2007-01-18
  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.
  
  

• A must-have for Boise State fans

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

  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.
  
  

• a must for your college football dvd library

  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.
  
  
• The greatest college football game of all time deserved a bit better....
  By A2OBILK6LUOCYL on 2007-02-23
  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.)
  
  
• 2nd Greatest Game Ever
  By A38MYEQPALI1CL on 2007-01-12
  I am LONGHORN through and through. My son, 2 years old, my wife, and I bleed burnt orange. (Well the wife has some Arkansas Razorback red in there too) Anyway, we are TEXAS fans with a capital T. I love TEXAS and as a real fan love to see OU get taken down a notch or 10. I also love the underdog, which Boise State was. Boise State did what everyone wanted them to do, but what most didn't think they could do. The came from a small, underappreciated conference and beat a big name program in a big name BCS bowl game. It could have been easy for Boise State to lose their momentum after OU pulled ahead, however, they didn't. They played with precision, with poise, and with passion. This game is worth watch anytime you want to see a great dual David vs. Goliath. I still say the 2006 Rose Bowl (TEXAS and USC) was the greatest game cause my boys showed everyone that the BIG 12 and TEXAS and VINCE YOUNG and MAC BROWN are national contenders. This Boise State/OU game is almost as great. Very exciting. I love it and will watch it for years to come.
  
  
• second best game ever!!
  By A31MUO4RO5P2KC on 2007-01-10
  I am a UT alum, so of course, I think the national championship game last year was the best game ever, but this Boise State-OU game is a very close second!
  Any fan of college football will go nuts for this game. Of course, it helps to come to this game with the mindset that OU is supposed to kill Boise State (though I am not sure why--OU, like UT, was very inconsistent and not very good this year).
  There are all sorts of mind-boggling plays and just out-and-out fun! I stayed up way past my bedtime (had to get up at 0500 the next day) to watch this one end. :)
  
  
• Tostito's Bowl Bowl - Boise St. Vs.Oklahoma 2006
  By A1ZDLO27XAASZ3 on 2007-03-16
  It is just what I orderd - a DVD of the Greatest College Football Game in history!!!!
  
  
• Must buy!
  By A108CGSGSHPM0L on 2007-05-08
  If you have not seen this game, this is a MUST BUY for ANY sports fan! By far, the best college football game I have ever watched. I thought the 2005 Rose Bowl with Leinhart and Young was exciting, but it does not compare at all to the level of intensity this Fiesta Bowl presents. Must buy!!!
  
  
• The Best Football Game of all Time
  By A2YXD3IR9X60GO on 2007-06-07
  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.
  
  
  
• This is what college ball is all about
  By A14WSL01MBAOTH on 2007-01-10
  When it's June and you're really going through football withdrawal this will do the trick. I have been a college football junkie for a few decades and this was something very special. I can't wait to see the magic again. The game, every facet of it, was what makes college football so special. I can't remember ever having that much fun watching a game before. There were better games sure. More important games? Definitely. But for pure entertainment Hollywood couldn't have written a better script.
  
  
• A Game to Remember
  By A3O6U8JBAOTLWL on 2007-03-22
  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.
  
  
• Best finish ever in a college football game
  By A1PWXG3AESWKKM on 2007-07-01
  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.
  
  
• What more can you say?
  By A1FV5LUUWMMAN5 on 2007-07-31
  I didn't watch this game when it initially aired. However upon hearing about this game after it happened, I had to see it for myself. When I found out there was a copy of the game available on DVD, I had to get it. Boy, am I glad I did! An absolutely phemonenal game, unquestionably one of the best college football games ever. The game in and of itself would've been well worth the price, but some nice bonus features were added as well. Both the picture and sound are crystal clear, as if you were watching it live or had DVR'ed it. An essential addition to any college football library.
