2009 National Championship - Not Yo Momma's BCS Game

I somehow never managed to write anything on the Bowl Challenge posts for the championship game. Of course on Thursday night I was preoccupied, but the fact is I hadn't wrote anything on the GMAC Bowl the day before either. Dave locked up the contest the night before the BCS Championship and quite frankly, I didn't know what to put for my thoughts on the game... still don't. It's known 'round these parts that I'm a Longhorn and things didn't go the way I wanted them to go on January 7th. The championship game was certainly no 2006 Rose Bowl nor was it even the Tebow/Bradford slug-fest (emphasis on slugs) from 2009.

How About A Quick BCS Discussion

Does anybody *really* like this thing? I mean really. It gets the job done (most of the time), it includes everyone including the small guys (well, not exactly), it has guaranteed us a consensus national champion (oh wait, maybe not a consensus national champion), but it does let computers do a big part of the deciding (yeah!).

But at least this mess is a hella good time to discuss! Eh, maybe not. Check out these mind mashing articles... and get out your calculators.
