C.W. Nevius, who writes a sports blog at SFGate.com, calls last night's Boise State-Oklahoma game the greatest game ever played. Seriously.
The Boise State-Oklahoma bowl game on New Year's Day has raised a simple question: Was that the greatest college football game ever?The answer? Yes. It was.
What the heck. One of them has to be.
At least he's given it lots of thought.
If you missed the ending, turn on SportsCenter. They'll be showing highlights for weeks.
At the very least, the last two minutes of regulation time and the overtime period combined for the most exciting finish to a college football game in about four years. And for sheer drama and guts and razzle-dazzle, it even topped OSU-Miami 2003.
By the way, was this the longest football game in all of recorded history, or did it just seem like that, coming as it did as the last leg of my 14-hour football-watching odyssey? I spoke to people today who did something else on New Years Day, in some cases, actually getting worthwhile tasks accomplished. I had nothing more to say to these people, such is my bewilderment with their world.
