putting all the BS aside....it's the two best teams playing. not what I wanted, but there it is.


Na, I checked out on the first one at halftime. It was like watching a 0-0 tie in soccer.


So you'd turn off the TV in the seventh inning of a no-hitter?

There's more to the game than offense. I like a 56-49 track meet as much as anyone and the Texas-USC game was a classic, but there's a lot of appeal to a game where the defenses dictate the flow rather than the offenses, where every yard is important and every field goal attempt is crucial. The first LSU-Bama game pitted two teams that normally score 40+ points shut down by two dominating defenses. It was a treat to see defense played that well and rare to see it played at that level by both teams.

I'm glad most football games aren't like that or it would turn into soccer, but every now and then it's a treat.
