BCS…..Best

BCS…..Best Game. Supposedly the BCS Championship game should be the BEST  college game  of the year.  But as usual it turned out to be a ho-zzzz-hummer.  Very one sided.  And as is the usual case it appeared one of the teams forgot to show up.  (Or partied too hard).  Wasn’t there just one touchdown scored? I  did not watch all the BCS games.  But I did watch several. Of all the ones I did watch I would have to state MY PICK would have  to be The OREGON DUCKS and  WISCONSIN BADGERS.  This game has plenty of action.  Defensive, Offensive.  Much scoring. Great plays.   Real sportsmanship.  Lead Changes.  Strategy. Long runs.  Long passes. Much scoring.   What more could you ask for in a game.  There was only two real mistakes, which I though altered the game.  Unfortunately  for the BADGERS,  THEY committed both in the last few minutes of the game.  First, I can’t remember the man carrying the ball, however the ball carrier had gained the first down running down the sideline.  The problem was; he failed to properly protect the ball.  He had it hanging down as if it was a bucket with a handle, thus allowing the “Quack,Quack”  Ducks to strip the ball loose.  Result DUCK  BALL. The next was a coaches call.  To Spike the ball with 2 seconds to go?          What was that all about?  Granted the referee did clearly start the clock before the snap.  BUT!!!! Two (2) seconds.  Makes no sense to me.  If you know what was to be gained by this spike call….Please let me know. I know there were several records set during the course of the game.  MOST points in a quarter, MOST points in a half.  LONGEST run for a TD.  Probably MOST points scored in a game.  All this from theGRANDDADDY of BOWL GAMES.  Not to mention the parade.  Did the Alabama Vs LSU game have it’s own parade.  I must have missed it. So the good old BCS didn’t let us down.  It was it’s usual lackluster showing. For my part I would rather watch teams like OREGON, and WISCONSIN, play anytime. That Is How I See It.                       Views: 336

College Football Hall of Fame

The National Football Foundation has decided to move the College Football Hall of Fame from South Bend Indiana to Atlanta Georgia. South Bend Indiana.  Home of Notre Dame.   Can any school match the football tradition held by Notre Dame.  Their heritage dates back to 1887.  The actual name of the town where they are located is named NOTRE DAME.  Bet most of you didn’t know that. A little history and facts about Notre Dame football.  Did you know that Notre Dame has a winning percentage of .723.  An all time record of 899 wins,  301 losses,  and 42 ties.  Their postseason record is 14-15.  With 11 National Titles, 7 Heisman winners, 96 All Americans.  Notre Dame may actually have 13 National Titles, as the 1938 and 1953 are in question,  Notre Dame only claims the 11 that are not in doubt.  Their record includes 7 undefeated seasons, and 4 single loss seasons.  As for the 122 year history (No team in 1890 and 1891), Notre Dame has 103 winning seasons, and only 13 losing seasons.  With 48 players and coaches in the Hall of Fame. The BCS even has a “NOTRE DAME”  rule.  Speaking of Bowl games Notre Dame is in another one this year looking to make them 15-15 in bowl games. Who can ever forget the Knute Rockne speech “…win one for the gipper….” Why would you want to move the College Hall of Fame from such a tradition laden area.  Surprise “MONEY”  that’s all it could be.  I don’t know as a fact.  But I figure Atlanta made it monetarily well worth the move.  Oh well why fight it MONEY really does talk and those without it walk. That Is How I See It. Views: 134
