Well, that didn’t go so well. At least during last year’s BCS Championship Game I was in San Francisco, out eating some fantastic chinese food with the guys from TUAW. This year, I was at home (I got an invite to go to a party down in Hollywood to watch it, but turned it down because I forgot I now have a reliable vehicle), watching LSU play a much better game while taking down the last of the christmas decorations and generally throwing things that shouldn’t be thrown.

Mr. Biro and I were talking within just the past week or so how we wish it was possible to “bottle momentum”; the Buckeyes could have used a big ol swig of that last night at a couple of points. Although disappointing that they lost, it has been fun that the Bucks gotten to the big game two years in a row and have a very very young team, so next year should be a lot of fun. I still think the BCS is a complete mess, a playoff setup would be more rewarding and fun, allowing those longshots and wildcards to have a cinderella-type post-season ala March Madness or the NFL playoffs. What sucks is this season was exactly what the BCS hoped for since day one: every game during those last few weeks of the season “meant something.”

Tangent aside, congrats are in order for both The Ohio State University and LSU, both had fantastic seasons, and one of them played a fantastic game last night.
