"Kick-Six 2"

This weekend if you were watching the Michigan State-Michigan game, you saw one of the top 10 craziest finishes ever in college football. I will link the video here because it is hard to explain, but I will still try. Michigan had a 2 point lead on Michigan State with 10 seconds left in the game. Michigan had failed to get the first down so they faced a 4th and 2, all they needed to do was punt it away and play safe. Michigan State was bringing 10 players in hopes of blocking the punt. Many will want to blame the punter (I did originally) but there many other places Michigan went wrong. First off Michigan released 4 guys to go down the punt when they could've easily sent one or two and had more protection. Secondly it was a low snap by the holder that originally caused the punter to drop the ball. Third, the only thing the punter did wrong, he should've just fallen on the ball instead of trying to punt it. However in the heat of the moment it's understandable that he did what he did, plus the same punter had an 80 yard punt earlier in the game. And the result was a Michigan loss, and plenty of very sad and some hateful Michigan fans.

Now the question is, was that "kick-six" better than the original "kick-six"? They both took place in huge games, although #1 Alabama vs #4 Auburn was probably had bigger implications, it decided who went to the SEC championship game. Plus Chris Davis (the Auburn player who returned the kick) had to go about 110 yards to score. The first kick six was not the only miracle that happened for Auburn that season, they defeated Georgia earlier in the season on a miracle. Both of these teams seem to have had a lot of luck.

In my opinion the Alabama-Auburn "kick-six" was not only better than the Michigan State version, but might be the best play ever in college football history.

  4. I enjoy reading your blog. You seem to really get how to connect with the reader. I think that because you developed this talent so early in life, you should try to shoot for even higher goals and try to write speeches for the President. I don't know, it's just something to think about. Or as they say in Canada, something to think abut.
    Additionally, I love the way that you express your feelings in your blog. I had to read over it once or twice, but then I was able to realize what your blog is all about. Unfortunately, I don't agree with the tax on gasoline. But still, penguins are fun to look at!
