EDSBS has been doing a countdown of days left until the college football season begins. It didn't dawn on me that there is only 24 days left until the start of the college football season. 24 days! I haven't paid near enough attention to college football to even know who is good and who is bad. I guess going through the ups and downs of following the Giants this season has taken all my attention away from college football. Pretty soon I'll start posting the must lists again on Thursday's and have open threads up on Saturday's. The dog days of summer are flying by.
Until then, enjoy this video of the 2001 National Championship. I didn't really start paying close attention to college football until this season and in my own eyes that Miami team that won was the greatest team I've ever saw with my own eyes.
You could make arguments that there were other great college football teams, but take a moment and look at the roster Miami had that season. Frank Gore and Willie McGahee barely saw the field because Clinton Portis was so good. Ditto for Kellen Winslow Jr. because of Jeremy Shockey. Ditto for Sean Taylor because of Ed Reed. Hell, Ed Reed didn't even return punts because of Phillip Buchanon. Two of the linebackers were D.J. Williams and Jonathon Vilma. Ken Dorsey was the perfect QB for that team because he never tried to do anything he couldn't.
The 2001 Miami team was the greatest college football team I've ever seen with my own eyes. They were loaded with talent. We'll probably never see a team like this again.
College football is almost back. I can't wait.
