Happy New Year everybody! I sure feel bad for the kickers for Stanford and Virginia Tech the past couple of nights. Both missed kicks in overtime that led to their teams losing. They're just young guys and it hurts me to see them have to go through that, even though I'm not exactly a huge fan of either team. I guess as the saying goes, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
If defeat wasn't so tough, victory wouldn't taste so sweet on the other end. Just watching one of Michigan's players choking up as he talked about the long journey that eventually led to winning the Sugar Bowl this season, shows how awesome sports can be. Players put so much work in on both sides, and the feelings are pretty intense on both ends of the spectrum after such big games.

Those were both great games. I'm excited to watch the rest of the bowl games now. Everyone always wants to blame kickers when the team loses the game. They have the most pressure put on them, only because their offenses couldn't quite get it, and they're called in to try and salvage the win.
