The Real BCS Championship

AITOOW can't believe people are saying the LSU-Alabama game was boring? Every series was make or break. Team defense was exhibited for once. People stayed in their gaps. RB's tried to knock defenders out. The first facemask penalty by grabbing the back of the helmet was called in my lifetime. Nobody took a play off. One coach almost lost the game because he rotated two QB's. One (supposedly infallible) did lose the game because of at least four miscalculations (ie putting in a lame punt returner, not using time outs, questionable play calls, not realizing certain substitutions revealed what play would be called). There were blocked kicks, goal line stands, big hits, guys playing with injuries, an OT. A mouthy CB got his come uppance. Other mouthy CB's got burned. The refs let late hits, pass interference, holding calls go. A boisterous crowd of hillbillies went home dejected. The only negative was the ridiculous ending that the NCAA uses for OT. Oh, and Gary Danielson's pathetic grand standing, poor analysis, and bragging (after the play) that he was thinking X would happen.
