I Dub It: 'The Calls'

Those of us who watch a little too much football between teams that don't matter to us personally are probably doing it so that we can witness a game like the Frito-Lay Cool Ranch Tostito Dippers Fiesta Bowl that I just watched between Boise State and OU. OK, so I hate OU from my childhood in Dallas and for them having foisted, indirectly, Barry Switzer on my once-beloved Cowboys.

If you didn't see it, you'll see it again anyway...on YouTube, on highlight reels. I've finally gotten to see my "The Play" or "The Drive" moment in living color as it happened. If it doesn't end up dubbed "The Call" (or "The Calls"?) then I'll eat my New Orlean's Saints ballcap. Amazing...

... Who calls for a 15-yard pass and a designed hook-and-ladder lateral on a 4th-and-18 with the season on the line?
... Who sends the quarterback in motion on a 4th-and-Goal play in overtime with the season on the line?
... Who goes for 2 points in overtime instead of getting the certain 1 point and relying on your defense to hold the other guys...with the season on the line?
... Who calls a modified "Statue of Liberty" -- after the other team has taken a time out in order to line up everyone they need to stop you -- to get those 2 points and end a perfect season with a BCS bowl game victory?

I'll be telling my grandkids about it. Heck...anybody's grandkids.
