The Best A Man Can Get
I like football. I love hockey.
However, when January 1 comes of any year, I dedicate my day to watching bowl games. Some pointless, some very worthwhile. I wanted to watch the Rose Bowl more than any other game this season. I was pulling for USC since the start of the year. I have no alliance to them, nor any other D1 school, so I thought I would pull for USC since no one gave them credit. Long story short, USC won.
I won, too, because I watched the Fiesta Bowl, too. Lucky me, and lucky to whoever else watched the whole game - it was amazing. The best football game I have ever watched. Period.
Sure, the Titans-Rams Superbowl was great, as was last yers Rose Bowl. Nothing compared to what I witnessed last night.
I thought Boise State would win... and they were on their way, until something happened and suddendly they were down by a TD with 50 seconds to go and the ball on the 50yd line. Huh? Yeah.
'Huh' seemed to the motto of the Boise State Bronco's opponents, Oklahoma, last night.
Huh#1 - Boise State throwing and INT... sorry, a TD pass to Oklahoma with 60+ seconds left. They were going to win in regulation, but they threw the pass to the wrong team. I was confused. So was Oklahoma, but they didn't care.
Huh #2 - the hook and ladder to tie the game with 7 seconds left. The play NEVER works. You want proof? It isn't even a play in the Madden football games. That means it does NOT work. But it did. It worked to perfection. It sent the game to OT.
Huh#3 - 4th and 2. A TD needed to keep you in the bowl game. And you motion your QB out of the pocket. Snap it to your WR. And throw it to someone wearing 91. And it works. 'Nuff said.
Huh#4 - I understand going for 2 to WIN the game. I do. There was 40+ points on the board by now. No defense is going to win the game. So, you have to win, or lose trying... Well, again... they pulled a play out of their ass... The Statue of Liberty play... and it worked (I'm not surprised at this point... see Huh#1-3). It worked to perfection. The guy went in the endzone to win the bowl game...untouched.
An unreal game. A game for the ages. It'll be an Instant Classic on ESPN within the next week. No doubt (except it was a Fox game). I will watch it again. I may buy it on iTunes if available. I have witnessed very few sporting events that proved to be so exciting, and none like that in football.
If you went to sleep with Boise State ahead in the 4th... I'm sorry. I truly am.

So, Boise State finishes 13-0 abnd plays in a semi-major bowl game. Where will they find themselves in the final rankings?

semi-major? The Fiesta is a BCS bowl game - it's a huge bowl game. That just brought in upwards of $15 million dollars to the school and made them a legit team in DI football going forward.
