Kickoff

Tom Dienhart breaks down the action of the BCS championship game, quarter by quarter:
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band did an honorable rendition of the National Anthem. Bravo! But I can only wonder: How would Ozzy have done it?
Here come the LSU Tigers! Lots of smoke and fireworks. Too NFL for my taste. And if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s the staid, corporate and homogeneous NFL.
Here come the Buckeyes! Man, it’s loud. Louder than LSU’s entrance. Check out the massive “O†“H†“I†“O†flags. They are as big as Rhode Island.
My buddy Matty Hayes is picking Ohio State. Me. I’ve hitched my wagon to LSU.
The players are out for the coin toss. Man, Glenn Dorsey looks ready. I’m afraid for Ohio State.
We are ready for action now that the longest pregame ceremony in the history of mankind is over.
