Jameis Winston, Heisman Trophy winner and National Champion.

The Bowl Championship Series, or BCS, has been a pretty controversial way to determine a national champion, given its reliance on computers, human bias, and generally not playing a tournament to determine the true winner like NCAA basketball does.  That will be changing next season with the dawn of a four-team tournament; however, the last BCS game might be the best BCS championship game ever.  The Florida State Seminoles bested the Auburn Tigers 34-31 to claim the final BCS National Championship.

The game had everything, from a record-setting 18-point comeback by Florida State to kickoffs returned for touchdowns, long scoring runs, hard-hitting defense, and everything you would want from a matchup of the 2010 champion Tigers and the 1999 champion Seminoles.  It ended up as a shootout in which the last team who scores wins, and that last team ended up being Florida State.

“It’s the best football game he played all year,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said of Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston, “and I’ll tell you why:  Because for three quarters he was up and down, and he fought.  And just like any great player, some nights you don’t have it.  When you can go back like the great ones do — ‘It’s not my night, but we’ve got a chance to win this ballgame.  It’s in the fourth quarter, I’ve got one or two touches left’ — and you can take your team down the field and lead to victory, that’s what a great player is to me.  Anybody can do it when it’s their A-game night.  A lot of guys can do that.  Very few can do it when it’s not their night.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
