The Greatest Ever?

What a way to begin the new year than with a renewed commitment to blogging and a football game for the ages?

I have to admit that for about 3 minutes I fell asleep during the Fiesta Bowl last night. I awoke for the touchdown and tying two-point conversion by Oklahoma. Then I felt my new Boise State loving heart drop when Oklahoma intercepted the pass for the go-ahead touchdown. I almost screamed when the hook-and-ladder, or hook-and-lateral, if you will, re-tied the game. I missed Peterson's touchdown run in overtime, but I really did scream, albeit quietly, when Boise State scored and won in overtime.

I'm glad I stayed up. I think that made a lot better football story than everything I've heard about Nick Saban and Alabama. I hope the rest of 2007 sports is close to as exciting.

And I still think that blue field is weird, but whatever.

For commenters, if there are any, what is your most exciting game ever? Mine would probably be game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, but we don't talk about it. So instead I'll say game 4 of the 2004 World Series.
