A glimpse of the new year..

#1
The table has shifted. Nintendo wiis are virtually impossible to found across the country. PS3s are everywhere, as nobody want them anymore. Scalpers try to return their purchase after eBay prices dropped below retail. This conclude that people buy wii to play it, but they buy ps3 only to sell it. Those people who bought $3000 ps3 after launch must feel like an idiot now. The battle continues and personally I'm very excited. Will Nintendo win the market share this gen? Will Blue Ray become the next Betamax (the reason that Betamax fail to succeed was because they don't allow porn industries to produce in their format... yeah right) Will Microsoft succeed in Japan? Will people grow tired of the new playing scheme introduced by Nintendo after some years? months? Will ps3 ever live up to their hype? Will 360's 1 year head start make a difference in the long run?

Stay tuned.

Ian Johnson just proposed to his girlfriend (fiancee?) last night. Got that? Now that I have your attention, non-football fans, I'll tell you how last night's game was more than just a game. Boise St was 12-0 for the season, so by logic they should play in the national championship against the only other unbeaten team in the country (Ohio St, also 12-0).

But they didn't. Since they came from a WAC, a 'weak' conference, they had to settle their business in the Fiesta Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners (which aren't very good in my opinion). The Broncos (Boise St's nickname) led early until midway of 3rd quarter. Then to sum it up, they blew their lead and Oklahoma managed to catch on to force the game into overtime. Oklahoma even lead by 7 points with 1:08 minutes left in the game, but The Broncos refused to give up. Their last play,hook and ladder trick play finally tied the game and forces it into overtime.

Bored? Hang on on with me. During the overtime, it seems that they want to settle the game once and for all. Rather than kicking the extra point for 1, they elected to go for 2 which will win the game. Of course, they would lose the game if they failed. This is bar none the most exciting moment so far this season. They ran the statue of liberty play, which the QB faked a pass to the receivers, and handed the ball over to the running back.

THEY WON THE GAME BY 1 POINT!

One of the commentators said 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog' That strucked me real deep. The Boise St might still lose if the play Ohio St, but they sure knows how to provide a high quality entertainment. Kudos to you Broncos nation!

Now this is the interesting part. Running back Ian Johnson proposed to his girlfriend, the head cheerleader for the Broncos, after the game during his interview on national television! And she said yes! Wisconsin beat Arkansas with an impressive performance, Penn St upset the ranked Tennessee, USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, but the highlight of the new year belong to the underdog Boise St Broncos!
