Well, it all came to a head last night: The FedEx BCS College Football National Championship. This was no David vs. Goliath game, these were two Goliaths duking it out on the field. With each school having played over 1,000 games each all-time, the University of Florida and the Univserity of Oklahoma had never before, surprisingly, met on the gridiron.
Oklahoma was seeking its 8th national championship, while Florida was seeking its 3rd (second in three years). Oklahoma's highest scoring offense in college football history was going against a top 3 defense. While Florida's explosive offense, and Tebow, was up against a relatively weak defense. The game was billed as a high-scoring affair--but that did not happen.
Surprisingly, this game was defensive (24-14 final). Each Heisman winning quarterback tossed two interceptions. There were red zone stands and points were left on the field. In the end, Florida's Superman (Tim Tebow) willed his team to win, as he has done many times before. Arguably college football's greatest leader today wanted his team to win more than Oklahoma themselves wanted to win. Florida's Goliath came out on top!
Following up with my previous post about my Boise State Broncos, sadness comes over me now as college football's season concludes. Attention now turns to college basketball and March Madness will soon be upon us. Congratulations Gators!

I do feel bad for Oklahoma (they sure have lost a lot of BCS games in recent years), but I was rooting for Tim Tebow and the Gators. Go Florida!
ReplyDeleteWho would've thought the BCS Championship trophy looked so much like a $24.99 Target crystal punchbowl?
