Well, 2007 was a crazy year in sports (according to HBO and ESPN), but I thought Florida winning the national title in college football and basketball was boring, and the Superbowl and NBA Finals were boring... The highlights of the year actually came from boxing with Floyd Mayweather, and I don't even watch boxing.
Boise State was the number one highlight of the year for sure. Pats going 16-0 with the video taping asterisk was easily number two.
My personal highlight was the BYU Bowl game with BYU blocking a field goal to beat UCLA in miracle fashion. I actually think that BYU has pulled out quite a few miracles in the past. The 1983 Holiday Bowl win over SMU with Jim McMahon, winning the 1984 National title (would never happen in today's BCS system), Ty Detmer winning a Heisman and knocking off No. 1 Miami. And in my BYU experience, we have Brandon Doman winning LaVell's final game up in Utah, Luke Staley beating Utah the following year, Beck-to-Harline, and the 2007 Vegas Bowl win over UCLA; so I really can't complain.
Other notes: BYU basketball lost at Boise State on Saturday and we dropped from No. 20 to like No. 27, but with three losses, all the teams ahead of us deserve the higher ranking...
Ravens notes: Billick is fired. I'm a little surprised after last year's extension, but not TOTALLY surprised. It's all good. He'll get a job somewhere else. He's a great delegater, and a lot of his former assistants are now NFL head coaches (Marvin Lewis, Jack Del Rio, and Mike Nolan just to name a few)... I hope Rex Ryan gets the job. He deserves it.
So yeah, BYU football should finish the season in the top 15 and should be ranked in the top 20 to start next season with our Super sophomores turning into jumpin' juniors... I dunno if we can go 8-0 in the Mountain West for a third straight season, but it would be fantastic... If we had beaten Tulsa or UCLA, we probably would have gotten a nod for a BCS game, whatever... Hawaii sucks... Florida sucks... and we'll see what happens on Monday in a game I probably won't watch.. thanks BCS...
Anywho, Kyle Korver (aka Ashton Kutcher) is looking good for the Jazz. It's looking better by the day because of his shooting and experience. I like bringing him off the bench and Harpring and Okur are looking better the past week, so hopefully Utah can get back into the hunt for the division title...
