Wisconsin trip 2006: lots of fun, no concussions, way too much personal sharing of information. That’s a success in my book.
I’d rather the Bears lost in the NFC playoffs than the Super Bowl. (If they have to lose).
New Year’s Eve blows. But at least I wasn’t dealing with airports this year.
I’ve always maintained that last year’s Rose Bowl was the best football game I’ve ever seen. I still believe that, but last night’s Fiesta Bowl was pretty remarkable. It was like I was watching a movie, you couldn’t script this series of events better: Boise State gives up the game tying touchdown and two point conversion with two minutes left in the game; Boise State throws an interception returned for a touchdown and the lead for Oklahoma; Boise State comes out and marches to midfield (passing by the way); a fourth and 18 hook and freaking ladder that goes to tie the game; Oklahoma scores easily in OT; Boise State runs a running back direct snap, toss to the tight end on fourth down; Boise State goes for the win with a two point conversion; Boise State runs the most beautifully designed and executed Statue of Liberty to win the game; during his post-game interview, Ian Johnson actually proposes to his cheerleader girlfriend; Boise State’s head coach credits the back-up quarterbacks with calling the game tying hook and ladder. That is everything that is right with sport.
Dude, the Fiesta Bowl sounds less like your regular football game and more like a movie about a football game. (I think it’s the proposal to the cheerleader girlfriend that puts it over that edge.)
