Orange Bowl

I normally do not watch college football; I might have missed many good games.  I watched Orange Bowl (Michigan vs Florida State) last night and they were no less exciting or scary (if you’re rooting for either one) than the Steelers-Ravins game last Sunday.

The lead changed twice the last 5 minutes of 4Q.  One couldn’t tell who was going to win until the last 36 seconds. Michigan fell behind (12 points at one time) until 1:57 left in 4Q when it took the lead (30:27) for the first time.

The Florida State threw a final touch-down with 36 seconds left in 4Q. Then there was some confusion that I couldn’t follow, apparently Michigan blocked the extra points and returned it for two points, but the final drive was intercepted and lost the game 33:32.

I was rooting for Michigan as their hospital in Ann Arbor was treating our son-in-law so nicely with all their expertise and kindness. But, for a game like this, there was no loser, both teams won.  As I often said, no one can script a good game like this; it took two good teams to make it happen.
