Merry New Year!Yes, I've finally made it home after nearly two weeks on the road, including a nice long stay in Shreveport for the Independence Bowl. I'll share some insights later on, but it's nice to sleep in my own bed again.
In terms of great New Year's Day games, the 1979 Sugar Bowl certainly qualifies. It was a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, which essentially came down fourth-and-1 at the goal-line. When linebacker Barry Krauss stopped fullback Mike Guman short of the end zone, the Crimson Tide won, 14-7. However, the coaches’ voted for Southern California, resulting in a split decision.
