Through all the time-outs, through all the replays, the students of Arizona University showed a level of restraint that is uncommon amongst students at a football game. It was as if there was an invisible barrier, a "force-field" if you will, around the field. This "force-field" exhibited a calming effect on the otherwise rowdy student body.
The students were a bit premature in the rushing of the field, but they made up for the mistake by waiting patiently right off the sidelines. As many students as there were packed in the tiny space between the side-lines and the wall, I was shocked that no one encroached the field of play. The students did a better job of avoiding a side-line penalty than most coaching staffs.
I would like to introduce a new award category in the college football repertoire. The new category is "Best Performance By A Student Body."
I like the match-ups and the years of bad-blood between rivals in college football. I enjoy a good game no matter the national implications. Give me a 3OT game between a couple of Sun Belt teams over a 40 point blowout between a couple top 25 teams anytime. I consider myself to be a fan of the game. I will be as respectful to visitors on my blog as they are to me. Go Huskers! Go Navy! Go Jags! Go Cubbies!
