The impossible...

This is for ll the saps who went to bed and missed 1 of the truly epic 4th quarter and overtimes ever. While I'll give the nod to Vince Young in the Rose Bowl last year as having the greatest individual peformance ever, due to the stage, the build-up, and the "moment". Nothing, I mean NOTHING was more exciting than watching all of these events unfold.

It defines the essance of why we watch sports. How some drama's can not be scripted, but just have to be unfolded through life, and the moments it creates for us. From (in order) Boise St just straight giving OU the business for 3.9 quarters, only to see it slip away in the arms of a Pick 6 to a corner for OU who has overcome knee and shoulder injuries his first 2 years as a Sooner. To the truly magical hook and ladder play, that ranks up there with any play you wll ever see. To watching Adrian Peterson run through any dreams they may have had in OT, to then a former walk-on WR throwing the game winning TD on 4th and 2. Then, lastly, EASILY the sweetest, ballsiest, and well jesus, did you SEE that Statue of Liberty play? I was speechlees.

Then in the midst of all the excitment, Ian Johnson proposes to his girlfriend (thanks for ruining it Chris Fowler, you dick) in front of all the euphoria, cameras, and a world wide audience.
It's what makes life so damn cool sometimes.....
