Rarely is there a moment that everyone watching hopes will never end.
Of course, there was Muhammad Ali lighting the torch at the 1996 Atlanta Games; there was Jack Nicklaus walking up 18 at Augusta in 2005 for the final time; there was the tiebreaker between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe in 1980. Ali was moving, Nicklaus was cyclical, and Borg-McEnroe, well, you didn’t care who won, so long as the tiebreak went on forever.

2007-8 Bowl Preview
Before the National Championship game on Jan 7th, there are tons of bowl games to look forward to as too much turkey and way, way too much Bud Light give you nothing but bowl games to watch on the TV. Alex Ferguson looks at the ones to pay attention to….
I am not going to fuss about the BCS system determining a champion. I am not going to pitch the best commercial in the world for a college football playoff. Division 1A football, or FBS, is not going to go that route. However, I do want to fuss about the love fest that is called Hawaii. I really don’t care what Mark May, Lou Holtz, Kirk Herbstreit, and/or Lee Corso says about this football team deserving a BCS shot, the Warriors simply do not. There are a lot of reasons to support the argument that they do belong in a BCS bowl game. But look deeper and uncover the facts.

It’s a shortened week, so therefore a shortened IUD. It’s also the end of the regular season. I’m crying already…
Living overseas, I’m only exposed to the main sports headlines and whatever they decide to talk about on the games I’m lucky enough to see. Today, watching Virginia Tech beat Boston College for the ACC title and a birth in the Orange Bowl, I’ve been struck by the lack of talk about the one thing that was on most of our minds back in September when the season started, the drama of the Virginia Tech campus shooting.
And now, the regular season over. Kansas and LSU’s gooses (or should I say turkeys?) are cooked, and we’ve only got one week to go before a month of non-stop controversy.

A Vote For Hawaii
by Trevor Freeman
Before I get rolling, let the record show that my being a part of ten consecutive Waikiki bar crawls was a nonfactor in getting this column off the ground. In fact, I resent any implication that my love of Mai Thais, the hula, surfing and the hula had any bearing on the argument I am about to make.
Rage, anger, sadness. And that’s just because we’ve only got a couple of weeks until the end of the season to go….
