BCS championship game


At football games, let's hear it for college marching bands instead of rock bands for entertainment! Let's hear it for choral singers instead of pop stars for the Star Spangled Banner! This is why I prefer watching college to pro football.

And the first half is a hoot, Florida demolishing the #1 Ohio State team, proving the experts wrong if this holds up. I love it when sports experts are wrong. I have no reason to root for either team, and nothing can top Boise State for excitement, so Florida might as well demolish them 70-14 or something.

The ridiculous thing -- and the upcoming Buckeye excuse -- is how long the teams sat around waiting for this game, 7 weeks for Ohio State. Why not have a playoff series during those weeks? I don't get it.

March Madness is still the best way to determine a championship. This is the next big sporting event for me since I don't get very excited about the Super Bowl with all its flamboyant hype. And the Triple Crown is coming up, too.
