Re: blogpost of November 3
I wrote, just about exactly one week ago:
Next Thursday night, it's Louisville-Rutgers with national title implications. If you only watch one college football game this century, make it that one.
Told ya.
I have a love-hate relationship with college athletics. I've seen the dark side of the monster - remember, I went to grad school at Ohio State. When "the monster" is fed in the wrong way, it can do some pretty serious damage to a college.
But I totally understand the appeal of the monster. You build the monster for moments like last night, for the sheer rapture of a home game between two unbeatens with the eyes of the nation upon you - and rising to the occasion to cultivate a tremendous, tremendous moment.
Those fans pouring onto the field of Rutgers Stadium last night was just such a moment.
I'm presuming all college football faithful will be watching Ohio State-Michigan the 18th. But do not sleep on a little matchup in Morgantown, West Virginia two weeks later. If Rutgers is still unbeaten going into that game - and that's a significant if, at this point - there is going to be even greater drama to come.
