The warm emotions of calling a Rose Bowl... and then to hear news of Tyler Trent’s passing. Thank you, Tyler and the Trent family for giving millions the gift of your bravery and relentless spirit. I will never forget you or that magical night in West Lafayette. Be at peace.

Incredible doubleheader. But.. although I know CFB OT is viewed by many as “gimmicky” and it does feel a bit artificial... at least both offenses get to touch the football. Coin toss shouldn’t play this big a role. Not with QBs this good.

I am thinking of a team.. that absolutely needs no help from officials’ mistakes. They do fine on their own. Can you guess? What appeared to be a 100% phantom flag nullifies a TD by MSU.. and an earlier Bama fumble was missed. Like I said, help not needed.

Reax to Djokovic DQ reflects the times. Many want to blame the woman who got hit in the throat. Or officials enforcing clear cut rule. Too many believe they are above the law (or the rules). And are allowed to get away with that. Novak must know that he is not. Or does now.
