I won't comment much on the National Championship game last night between Auburn and Oregon except to say it was a let down. Yea, it was close but the teams were not at full tilt because of a 37 day break between games. Some of the young men were seniors at the end of the season and came back with PHD's to play in this game - I mean a few guys had to touch up their hair with Just for Men because their temples were turning grey waiting for the kick-off.
And if that weren't bad enough, there was a three hour pre-game show featuring some of the lamest commentary possible. Poor Lee Corso (who everybody loves) kept calling Auburn Arizona. And Desmond Howard kept calling the offense the defense and vice-versa. He clearly would not win the Heisman for sports commentary. Then there were the glib coaches, each trying to outdo each other. Having Nick Saban as an analyst for three hours is like sitting in the Atlanta airport during a blizzard.
And I hope that Auburn gets a lot of joy out of this for the next two years because they will probably be vacating the championship, as will Newton his Heisman in a few years ala Reggie Bush/USC. That is unless Cam's dad decides to sell the trophy in the interim.
