Watching the Orange Bowl, waiting for the fourth quarter "Dennis fumble..."
Isn't it sad that Bobby Bowden broke his glasses and had to wear
his wife's?
You'd think with all his millions, he'd have a second pair.
But the biggest bitch I have is the biased announcers.
Everything Florida State does is "great," even tho they haven't
scored a point.
And everything Oklahoma does is "trying their best against a much
better team."
Hey, I'm not kidding myself, Oklahoma could still lose this by
30,
but the announcers are about as "fair and impartial" as Fox News.
Let's hope the officials don't screw up some major call, giving
the championship
to the state of Florida, of all places, if they don't
deserve it.
Last thing (for now) I never heard of that cowboy who sang the
anthem,
but I don't think he was lip-synching, I think he really sang.
Good for him.
I hope Aerosmith is watching the game.
Orange Bowl Update
Remember the Barry Switzer factor?
Years ago, some sports writer asked Barry
how he expected to do against the
powerful "Texas scoring machine," and he
said.
"We may play to a tie."
Puzzled, the reporter asked Barry what he meant by that.
Barry said, "Well, I don't think Texas can
score on the Selmon brothers,
so if we don't score, the worst
Oklahoma can do is a 0-0 tie."
After three quarters,
the powerful "Florida State scoring machine" has a goose egg.
...and then in the middle of the fourth quarter...
Florida
State University quarterback Chris Weinke fumbles the football as he is
tackled by
Oklahoma's
Rocky Calmus during the fourth quarter, January 3, 2001 in the Fed Ex Orange
Bowl.
The
fumble set up the only Sooners touchdown, with OU beating FSU 13-2 for
the championship.
...thanks, Dude.
