Greatest Game....Ever?

My computer won't allow me to show you a picture......so let me paint one for you.
Inches.
Two inches to be exact.
Two inches are what separated USC and their Third National Championship in Three Years......
All my Texas friends will tell you that their Longhorns defeated my Men of Troy.
I would have to disagree......the Longhorns did not disassemble the Trojans.
Vince Young did that all by himself.
I am not upset....how could you be?
It was an incredible game!
Back and forth.....both offenses seemed to be on track.....both defenses had some hiccups and some great plays as well.
I told a friend of mine yesterday...before the game....that if it came down to a shootout, the last person with the ball would win it.
I was right.
Unfortunately.
So........greatest game ever?
Yeah probably......
But Bowl games and National Championships aside.......the greatest game that I have ever attended was in my sophomore year at Baylor.
Yes Baylor.
Baylor upended Fresno State and their lauded quarterback Trent Dilfer (he of the Nat'l Champ. Ravens of a few years ago) by the score of 42-39.
Now that......my dear friends......was a great game.

Mike:

It was a great game. Where was Reggie Bush and why didn't Lendale White win the Heisman? I won't rub it in that Texas beat USC, but I will agree that it was an exciting game. Great quarterbacks on both sides (look for them on Sundays, right?). Talk to you soon!
