Well now. I just wanted to convey my personal congratulations to BYU. It looks like almost everyone now agrees who's number #1... Even Oklahoma... (maybe not Washington, however...) Thanks to everyone who responded to my question "Why is BYU #1?". There were many varied responses, all of which had good points. I will admit I was surprised at first how many people agreed with the polls and said BYU should be #1. Maybe everyone knew something I didn't... Oh well. Congratulations should also go to Washington for the game they played in the Orange Bowl. I guess maybe Switzer and the rest of the Sooners finally showed what they were really made of (you don't know how much it hurts to say that, except that I've never been a big Switzer fan anyway - believe it or not...). I actually believe that part of the reason they didn't play so well was that they probably came into the game real cocky. You can probably blame that on Switzer... Congratulations should also go the the Schooner for helping Washington (even though they didn't need any help at all...). I'm still kinda confused what happened... Did the referee screw up when he indicated the field goal was good, or were they just not supposed to be out there? (did anyone see them out there previously in the game when Oklahoma scored? I don't remember...) Even though it was kind of stupid to be out there delaying the game, I did think it was kinda unclassy for the Washington players to kick at it, etc... But... The best part of the game (at least to me) was the Skycam... Pretty slick... I was waiting, however, for (1) a kickoff or punt to hit one of those cables... would probably raised quite a ruckus..., (2) the guy running it too screw up and hit someone with it (that might have been funny, though...). It was neat, though, to see those angles we aren't used to seeing in most games... Oh well. See you all next season . . . Might be interesting if BYU goes undefeated next season, won't it?
