It is said that winners write history. That's not quite true. Sure, the trophy was awarded to FLA St and the press will report that FLA State won the BCS National Championship. But for those of us who watched the game, well now, that's entirely different! From the starting kick-off, the announcers--especially veteran Brent Musberger--were declaring Auburn the winner, the team of destiny, and the SEC still the best, the likes of which FLA St never saw in the ACC. Finally the announcer' partisanship came back to bite them. Their oft repeated, ":Auburn just has to get FLA St into the 4th quarter," proved one quarter too many for Auburn---dying with the FLA St TD and 13 seconds to go. What's the point of my rant? Let the teams play. Call them as you see them., Leave your own preference outside the press box.
How terribly often do we ourselves enter any conversation with such bias of self-reporting that we fail to see the heart of reality itself? The problem is that with such bias we miss out on the heart of reality--as if we just broadcasted a game and missed it because of what we wanted, not what we saw.
FLA STATE WALKS OFF THE FIELD AS NATIONAL CHAMPS
