What Game?

It was billed as the National Championship.  Alabama vs. Notre Dame.  Classic matchup.  Hyped for weeks.  Of course, most college football fans, me included, think the BCS is ridiculous.  By the time the championship game arrives (which is way too late) it has become tiresome.  And the game really suffers.

Now I'm anything but a Notre Dame fan and I sorta knew they were going to get their butts kicked...still, it was painful.  And embarrassing.  And, well...ho-hum.  Most probably turned it off at halftime.  So what is a cameraman to do in such a situation?  Hmmmm, there must be a few human interest stories in the stands.  So maybe during a lull, when Alabama is scoring yet another touchdown, they scan the stands for interesting things.  So at some point last night they focused on the Alabama quarterback's girlfriend, Katherine Webb.  And focused.  And focused.  And returned to focus some more.  Turns out she is a stunner.  Miss Alabama.  Auburn grad but it won't be held against her.  Even the announcers got in the act.  Poor Brent Musberger got a bit caught up in it.  He's a 73 year old guy who can obviously appreciate beauty, but did gush on a bit too much.

Anyway, maybe this will be this stimulation to get the BCS guys to change their tune.  When the main story the day after the championship game is the girlfriend of the winning quarterback, then you should know you've got a problem.  It's way past time for a playoff system to be implemented!
