I have once. Gt - ND 2007. We crushed them 33-3, sacked the hell out of their QB all game long. ND fans ALL stayed to the bitter end and earned a great deal of respect from me.
I am not a very good film watcher or analyst. Terrible at it. But what I saw in the second half, stuff I caught on the second and third playbacks, was some terrific trap blocking by our left guard who pulled when the Bbacks bounced out to the tackle gap, and the play side A back firing through there first looking I suppose for the first man up, which generally was a LB. I did not catch that when the same basic play was run to the right. Days' TD run and a couple of others for 10 yards or so were on that particular rendition. I can't figure out how Johnson knows this but even more, how he can make so many changes in blocking schemes in such a short period of time. I keep remembering the Birddog blogger for Navy who warned eight years ago to be ready for some dreadful first halves. It hasn't been that bad, but clearly big changes happen at halftime.
Completely off topic, completely . But the only other person in the history of the world that I ever heard use the term "bass ackwards" was my mother, who found she could still say it and claim not to curse. I haven't heard it since years ago in South Georgia.
Na, just a Tech man.
First time I ever, ever, enjoyed a Musberger telecast.
Ain't that what I said?
See the Citrus Bowl, 1-1-1991.
We stayed, too. Even though we had a 1.5 hr drive ahead of us as soon as the game was over, we wanted to savor the moment. We stuck around for the trophy presentations and it was worth it.
Still doesn't make it good.
Makes me want to get even further off topic since bass ackwards is a phrase I grew up with and thought was common.
My favorite quote of the night.
My dad would say "foot!" Also would also say something "did not amount to a hill a' beans." His southern accent made hill sound like hell and he said it when perturbed.
