LSU tries to lose, somehow still wins

Watched the game on the HUGE screen at the Alford's, and I'm coming away with mixed feelings toward LSU now. Yes they won. Actually, they totally dominated the Florida offense, allowing only 107 yards passing and 99 yards rushing. Yet they tried to make it interesting for the loyal tiger fans by losing 5 turnovers and letting Florida stay in the game. Joseph Addai is finally being used like a #1 running back. QB JaMarcus Russell was unimpressive, any points he scored with some nice touchdown passes were erased by his inability to keep the damn ball. Oh, well....a win is a win. Alabama and Auburn await.

LSU 21 Florida 17

Meanwhile..... on ABC ....

During LSU we were flipping to the 4th quarter of Michigan vs. Penn State. Wowee Wow Wow. Penn State score 15 points in 17 seconds, a touchdown, fumble recovered for a td, then a botched extra point kick led to a 2 pt conversion. Michigan came back and scored a 2 pt conversion to tie it. Penn State took the lead with 50 seconds left. But Michigan would not be stopped. With 1 second on the clock, Michigan scored on a 10 yard TD pass, Penn State's undefeated season disappeared, and the team stormed the field, including # 8 up there, who lost his helmet so he just turned his baseball cap backwards. He's cool. It was awesome.

But the day was not over...

Meanwhile on NBC...

USC, Notre Dame. USC's record unbeaten streak is challenged by a resurgant Fighting Irish, sporting the "Luck O' the Irish" green jerseys. Notre Dame led 31-28, 2 minutes left. USC drove down to the ND redzone, and with time running out, QB Matt Lienert scrambles and runs toward the corner of the endzone, where he's crushed at the 1 yard line, 7 seconds left, and the clock ran down. Notre Dame fans run on the field, they have defeated the mighty Trojans. Wait a sec... on replay you can see Lienert fumble the ball out of bounds before he hits the ground. Put 7 seconds back on the clock, and get those drunk students off the field!. So on the 1, Lienert QB sneaks into the pile, spins left, and fall backward into the enzone. Trojans win, 28th in a row. Still #1. Incredible game, Notre Dame should have won it. Imagine you were a drunk irish fan that ran on the field with 7 seconds left. Haha. You're a dummie! Wowee WOWzery WOW!

USC 34 Notre Dame 31

More you say? YES, there's more....

I didn't stay up to watch it, but somehow Virginia stunned unbeaten Florida State 26-21. Bobby Bowden had this to say, "We couldn't stop that dadgum number 18." That says it all. Virginia fans had no trouble stopping this goal post from standing up, however.

VIRGINIA 26 FLORIDA STATE 21

Not all you say?

Alabama needed a 31 yard field goal as time expired to beat a shitty Ole Miss team and remain undefeated.

Wisconsin was down by 3 to Minnesota with 30 seconds left when they blocked a punt and recovered it in the endzone, thereby winning the coolest trophy in football, Paul Bunyan's Axe!

Wisconsin 38 Minnesota 34

UCLA was down 38-21 in the 4th quarter before exploding offensively and forcing an OT with a TD with 50 seconds left. In OT, Washington State got a Field Goal, UCLA got a TD.

Boston College scored the go-ahead touchdown, a beautiful, toe-dragging bomb to the back of the end-zone, to beat Wake Forest with 1:18 left.

Boston College 35 Wake Forest 30

Missouri was down by 10 in the 4th quarter before concluding a game-tying comback with a TD with 20 seconds to play. Iowa State missed a FG in OT. Missouri didn't

Missouri 27 Iowa State 24

West Virginia needed 3 overtimes and a two point conversion to complete an upset of 19th ranked Louisville, and their RB Steve Slaton scored 6 touchdowns!

West Virginia 46 Louisville 44

So, don't you wish you watched Sportscenter last night? WHEW!

It was about the most insane day of college footbal I've ever watched. At least until next week.
