Well I am so happy, my USC Trojans showed everyone they are still a big force in College football after they beat 3rd ranked (actually 2nd but no one wanted a rematch) Michigan 32-18!. The D was punishing, and the QB John David Booty was unstoppable with 391 passing yards and 4 TDs.

Well since the game was such a huge success I wanted to buy it off iTunes like they advertised yesterday, but when I went online to buy it, it wouldn?t let me cuz I live in Canada... Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get the game on my computer? I tried Limewire but nothing came up, and I dont even know how to properly use BitTorrent lol.

Thanks,

-Chris

Fiesta Bowl was the best game to view by far though, with a large lead not only overtaken but surpassed on an INT, only to tie it back up forcing OT. In OT both sides scored a TD (format like the CFL OT), but the statue of liberty play was used on the two point convert to win it, outstanding.

Saw the highlights of the Fiesta Bowl. Quite a game ! The two point conversion in overtime was a gutsy call and it was well executed.

It was an extremely risky play for the Boise State Broncos to try the two point conversion for the win instead of settling for an essentially automatic tie and extending the game. Fortunately for them, the gamble was successful. Imagine the heat Boise State coach Chris Petersen would have received at the gamble failed.

That play reminded me of the Montreal at BC game on September 17, 2005 when Montreal scored a touchdown on the last play to pull within one. But Don Matthews elected to go for a two-point convert for the win instead of tying the game and going into overtime. The 2-point convert failed, giving BC the one point win.

Was either of those that risky, Robbie? Either the Als or Boise State would have won or lost on that one last play; that seems like the same odds that they'd have had in overtime to me.

Gutsy, yes. Not risky IMO, but adventurous.

Well, we all have our own definitions and vocabularies. IMO, adventerous, gutsy, and risky can be considered synonyms. A gamble of any kind instead of choosing a conservative play to tie the game is rather risky.

No Robbie, to me, gutsy and risky are far from the same thing. Not synonyms at all. I see your point, though.

Mike Riley did exactly the same thing for Oregon State to beat Mizzou in the Sun Bowl.

There are those who would tell you the best thing about the Rose Bowl was "Assgate" - the furore over the USC Song Girl who chose to wear a thong under her li'l skirt which flew up briefly (haha) to display some Song Girl bootie.

Wish I had caught the game, saw some of the plays and it looks nuts. I saw the Hawaii Bowl (Hawaii's QB passed for 560 yards and 5 TDs, 1 INT) and it was pretty good.

The final 6 minutes of the Fiesta Bowl have been replayed at least twice on TSN in a 30-minute ESPN Classic production. Keep an eye out for repeats.
