pass the Tostitos

My apologies to all you Sooner fans, BUT doncha just gotta love what Boise State did to Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl?

It was a great David and Goliath story, with Boise State given no chance to win, and being told they really didn't belong. They were facing an Oklahoma squad that was supposed to roll them under the Sooner Schooner and not look back. It wasn't a matter of beating Boise State. It was just a matter of how bad.

I'm not any big Boise State fan All I really know about them is they have that funky blue field in their home stadium, but I had to watch...and gleefully, as all the pundits got the Broncos shoved in their expert faces. I felt for the Sooner fans (OK, just a little) that went and sat in shock, as the team they thought got cheated out of a chance to play for a national championship was struggling, and not very successfully, with little Boise State. The look on some female Sooner fan's face, as the Broncos went up 14 to nothing, said it all. From there Oklahoma came back, but they had to be very surprised with the fight in the underdog, who finally beat them in overtime. You go, Boise State Broncos! You made for a great cap to New Years Day Bowl watching.

Now, I will say the fairy tale ending was a bit over the top. The running back, after scoring the winning two point conversion in overtime, runs over to his cheerleader girlfriend and, on national television, gets on one knee and asks her to marry him. In typical "happily ever after" fairy tale fashion, she says yes and wraps her arms around him. How hilarious would it have been if she would have politely declined?
