And The Heisman Should Have Gone To.......
Vince Young makes a convincing argument for holding the Heisman vote until after all the bowl games have been played, doesn't he? Let's see, is the guy who won the Heisman that dude who fumbled as he tried to pitch the ball back to a teammate as he was being tackled after a first down in the red zone, or was it the guy who generated nearly 500 yards of offense, scored the winning touchdown, and didn't even look like he broke a sweat doing it? That was probably the best championship game I've ever watched, and Young was the star. USC managed to shoot themselves in the foot on more than one occasion, but the closing minutes of the game really told the story. When Pete Carroll chose to go for it on 4th down at midfield, he might as well have just come out and said, "Texas is going to kick our asses whether we give them the ball back at the 50 or the 10 yard line, so we better try to hold on to it."
So college football is over. The NFL's second season is about to begin, with some teams definitely conspicuous in their absence, like the Raiders and Packers. I can think of teams I dislike more, but it's a lot more fun, and easier, to slam those two. Too bad, though. They would make a great Super Bowl. You'd have those idiots who dress up like Darth Vader in one endzone, and a bunch of dorks with food on their heads in the other. The only trait they would share would be mutual intoxication, with Raider fans crashing out on Mad Dog and the Packers keeling over from too much Old Milwaukee, or whatever other swill happened to be on sale that day. Restaurants within two miles of the stadium would have to close on Super Bowl Sunday for lack of business, because all the fans would be packing their own bologna sandwiches, cocktail weenies, and twinkies. Hell, these two slug teams combined had less wins than the Dallas Cowboys alone, and even they didn't make the playoffs.
There. I feel better now.
