yeah, but ya gotta admit, the little ACC showed well in bowl games this year before Maryland forgot you have to cover more than just Jabar and Reche.

Eagler, I just can't do it. I can't pull for Miami tonight. I've only been able to actually pull for Miami once before, and that was to beat UCLA in 98 so FSU could get to the Fiesta Bowl. Besides, Oregon shoulda been playing Miami, and I want the Ducks to have a share of the title. GO HUSKERS!

There is no joy in mudville tonight.

Oh well... at least I don't have to listen to endless "No way Nebraska should be #1" discussions for the next year. A clear #2 in all polls <edit>for Oregon</edit> isn't THAT bad.

It was clearly evident to me that the wrong team was playing Miami tonight in the Rose Bowl. Although I don't think any team in college football would have been able to stop Miami tonight. But that is just something I will have to look at when I replay the 2001 season on PS2 later next week in NCAA 2002.

This year was an outstanding year for college football. I don't think the BCS works but until we get a real playoff in 20 years or so its the best we have.

Nebraska's QB should be a half back.
This guy won the HT???
Sorry wasn't impressed. A QB should "throw" the ball or hand it off to one of his "running" backs. Maybe they gave it to him as he carried the team all year? I'm sure I missed something as I didn't follow Neb this year but me thinks Grossman was robbed.

Ah, back to the NFL...

Go Bucs!

The Heisman Trophy is a popularity contest and RARELY goes to the best or most valuable player in college football. You saw the best player last night. He plays left tackle for Miami. Bryant McKinnie is phenomenal, perhaps the best college tackle to play the game. But since he's an offensive lineman, he'd never be in contention for the Heisman. Ed Reed for Miami should have gotten some consideration as well. The HT is nothing but a popularity contest between the offensive skill position players. Only time a defender won it, was because he ran back punts and played some receiver as well (Charles Woodson, 97).

Besides, Grossman lost for the same reason, albeit inversed, that Weinke almost lost last year. Age. "I'm not voting for a sophomore for the Heisman!"

sheesh, if that doesn't show that the award is biased, political, and downright pointless, nothing does.

Hehe, I just keep the PS2 on varsity level and run off perfect seasons.

Once I get a new memory card, I'll do a dynasty in a harder mode. I just can't switch now and ruin the perfect record.

Wow. Was that some kind of butt-whoopin' Miami put on the Corn last night. Although I like Miami and hate the Corn, I kinda wanted an upset so the BCS would be more screwed up

However, even though last night wasn't the most exciting game, it did reafirm something in my mind.

I could listen to Keith Jackson call a chess tournament. He is as smooth as glass.

Damn those Miami boys made tulips of themselfes. Wait never mind that, they always make tulips of themselves.

I would not have college football any other way if I could not get to hear Keith Jackson at least once a year.

Agreed, KJ is the best, I can remember listening to him as a kid in the late 60's early 70's...

Ditto Keith Jackson. He and Vin Sculley are in a class by themselves. The coolest thing about both is that they not only describe the action so well, but they know when to shut up and let you absorb the atmosphere.
