Put it in the Books

As I look back on the bowl season, I keep coming back to one game: The Roady's Humanitarian Bowl. That was hands down the one that gave me the most fits. What's worse, I initially had Maryland and ended up changing it to Nevada. Argh!

I would have been even with the TU Senior after last night and only three yards off Tebow's yards for the tie-breaker. So let that be a lesson to the rest of you. Don't change your pick, go with your gut.

That said, I thought the BCS title game was quite entertaining (though it would have been five times better on ESPN or really anywhere other than FOX). Some people might be disappointed that it wasn't a higher scoring affair, but I was just glad we got a close game for the first time in three years.

In these defensive games, every score, every first down and every play becomes more important. It'd be nice if FOX would give us more than .42 seconds before the snap to cut to a shot of the field, but it was a good game nevertheless.

I loved watching Timmy Tebow carry his team like he always does in big games and get it done yet again. The only disappointment was the Gator Chop unsportsmanlike conduct call. Throughout his career at Florida he's been nothing but an exemplary student-athlete and role model.

He's a fine, Christian man and has used his success to honor God. But at the very end he let the pressure get to him. It certainly wasn't anything like Zinedine Zidane head-butting Marco Materazzi in the World Cup, but it did put a slight damper on everything he's accomplished up to this point.

I hope you all enjoyed another exciting bowl season (except for the fact that the Wolverines had to sit this one out for the first time in my lifetime). See you next year.
