Keith Jackson was vintage as usual but Fouts was way too biased for Miami. Coulda been worse I guess,coulda been Costas.

On THE play (4th and 3) in overtime, Fouts said over the air what play the Bucks were going to run. The microphone and camera was peering over the shoulders of the players and coaches during the timeout as they diagramed the play.

The idiot Fouts (who was blantantly rooting for Winslow the son of his former teammate) blabbed over the air the play with more than 15 seconds before the play took place. Plenty of time for a coach monitoring ABC to relay the info to the defense squad.

Congrats on a great victory for your team--been a while. From your profile, you must have seen lots of great games at OSU, up close and personal, contributing a great deal too.

I grew up watching the ball-handling magician Rex Kern against USC in Rose Bowl matchups (last national title for you), and always liked the Buckeyes:
--I always loved watching the tuba guy "dot the i"
--Laughed my ass off many years back when the camera was panning the student section at a OSU-Michigan game on the banner "F*CK MICHIGAN"
--Envied them for the buckeye stickers awarded for great plays--wished we had something like that at Nebraska
--I remember Oklahoma (the Husker's nemesis at the time!) kicking that clutch FG that Keith Jackson referred to, beating you guys in Columbus in 1977 (kicker was Uwe von Schauman, an All-American who played several years in the pros)
--I remember Woody whacking that Clemson player

ESPN Classic just had a great tribute to Woody and the program a few nights ago, filmed in 1977 (my senior season at Nebraska), and man it was like being there.

OSU has a storied, proud program, and this year they just never quit--no mega-stars like the Canes. I'll take that over the smartass superstar Canes anytime. Besides, anytime I can see Warren Fat-ass Sapp get beat, it makes me happy--Huskers finally beat the Sapp-led Canes in 1995 for our first since 1971, so I know how it is to wait a long time. I'll always remember Sapp taunting Tom Osborne to his face in the 2nd quarter of that game, and watching him get plastered ino the Orange Bowl turf for the rest of the game!!! I'll always feel like I got something on them.

I played against and beat the Canes in 1976 before they were the modern "Canes", but they did have some great players--just as trash-mouthed then as they are now.
