Outcome: win

Now that the College Football season is officially over and all the bowl games have been played. It looks like out of nine bowls I predicted five of them correctly, that's above 50%, I can feel good about that. In my defense, had I know of Iowa's returning QB, I might have picked them and Oregon really could have beat OSU... the just didn't. But that's how the game rolls.

Today I read a post-season, pre-season poll. Now that it's all over Yahoo!'s rivals.com put together their top 25 for next season. I was quite offended to see Oregon State as #20, but no BYU. Huston as #21, but no Air Force. TCU and BSU ranked in the top six, amidst the National Champs and Rose Bowl teams, but those were about the only good choices made. Nebraska and Wisconson in the top 10?!? And whoever put Texas as #8 must have missed the part about the true freshman leading his team to 15 unanswered points and bringing the Longhorns within 3 of Alabama. He's got the whole offseason to bring his whole game up to competition level and I expect to see them go big.

Anyhow.... that is all I have to say on the subject of football for half a year now. Whatever happens, you can be sure that the BCS and the Big 6 as we know it are on their way out. :-D

We will rock you

So usually I write when I'm emotional, right now I'm emotional. BYU basketball just scored a HUGE win over UNLV 77-73, right here in the Marriott Center. I was in attendance with several friends, some of which decided they were tired and left early.... LAME. The game turned out to be one of the most intense games of basketball I have ever seen. UNLV is by and large our greatest rival/competition when it comes to basketball. Yeah, we'll still rise and shout against the Utes and bring out all our racist rival comments, but they're not much for competition. UNLV though is right up there with us (and New Mexico) in getting nationally ranked and playing with the big dogs. So tonight was a big deal (as it was also our conference-play opener). I just loved being there, jumping and throwing my hands up when Tavernari knocked down his 3s, screaming so loud and hearing the Marriott Center erupt as big plays were made. It was fun also to see Cecil O. Samuelson with his wife (who stayed the entire game) sitting on the front row across the court. It made me a fan again of BYU hoops ^_^
