Subject: BCS Wednesday Night Championship game fumble
But BartCop,
if Florida State fumbles in the 4th quarter
Wednesday,
enabling OU to win the national championship,
would that fumble turn you into a believer?
ha ha
It's certainly possible, (the fumble, not me turning)
Wow, I didn't know that existed.
Last year about this time I lost my good buddy Sabutai.
After he was gone, I wrote on the page that he should send a
signal to me,
so we could share one last posthumous shot of Chinaco.
The signal would be that Florida State, playing Oklahoma in the
Title Bowl,
would fumble in the fourth quarter, securing the victory for
defense-minded Oklahoma.
Midway thru the fourth quarter, Florida State was behind but on
the march, BIG time,
when Rocky Calmus caused a Chris Weinke fumble and the game was
in Oklahoma's pocket.
It was an odd moment.
It was late, 11 PM or so, and Mrs BartCop was asleep in her chair,
so I was alone, doing my shot of Chinaco Anejo
with my old buddy Sabutai.
This is all sadly but funny recounted at the very end of Volume 370 and Volume 373.
