Rose Bowl for the Ages....
They will be talking about this one for a long long time in Ann Arbor and Austin. I didn't think it was possible to beat the drama of the Citrus Bowl after Iowa snatched victory from the hands of LSU. I was wrong. Speaking of being wrong - I was wrong about the BCS this year as well. They got it right with Texas instead of CAL - when all was said and done.
Texas and Michigan need to play more often and not just in bowl games. Those two schools are among the leaders in total DIV1A victories. I was also wrong about the Wolverines not being worthy- they were and then some. Apologies to my Michigan friends. Congratulations to Mac Brown. He willed his team to victory in the Rose Bowl.
I think I counted 4 lead changes in this game just in the 4th quarter. Vincent Young is amazing. What we saw tonight was unbelieveable. That guy can do it all. He passed for ~ 200 and ran for another ~200; basically carrying the team on his back in the 4th quarter. I think he accounted for all 5 of their TD's (4 runs and 1 pass). Wow! What a game. And to boot - I scored some points on this one. What a remarkable game and day in college football. These games remind me why I love this sport. Classic.....on to the Fiesta Bowl.
