If you see it as the greatest game of all time, that's fine. Your team won, so it has special meaning to you. Because I'm a Dodger fan, I could say that the Kirk Gibson pinch hit homerun against Oakland was the greatest game of all time. That is because my team won. But it wasn't the greatest game of all time.

In this case, I saw this game as an outsider, not a partisan fan. For me as a fan without a favorite team in the game, it was the greatest.

Yes, my team won but don't be patronizing. Many non-Texans also saw it as the greatest game, if not of all time, then at least in their lifetimes. How many other games had two Heisman Trophy winners and one shoulda-been come down to the last 30 seconds for all the marbles?

I'm sure there are a bunch of bitter Sooner fans who don't think Boise's win was any big deal either.
