The Super Bowl is kind of a mix of emotions for me. It is the best game of the year in the pros and has become a must-see event. This year's game between the Steelers and Packers is a great match-up for me as a football fan. However, this is also the final meaningful game until high schools start back up in mid-August.
Looking back on the year that was in the world of football, it has been a very memorable one. We witnessed a great National Championship game between two of the three most deserving teams in the nation, which capped off an exciting year in the college landscape. The quarterback who won the Heisman and National Championship for his team was in a jumble of controversy all year. How could you not love watching that?
Things in East Tennessee remained on par with the previous years: The Titans didn't live up to expectations, the Vols brought us as far up as fans could go, only to bring us right back down (sometimes in the course of one second) and Maryville and Alcoa brought back their state titles to Blount County.
The Daytona 500 and March Madness are about the only things left to keep me sane in the world of sports until football season. That's little comfort for a football fan who'll still have five antagonizing months until kick-off. So let's enjoy this final week of the football season. Regardless if your team was two seconds away from an 8-5 record or your pro franchise was the eighth-worse team and dumped their quarterback and head coach, try and suck it up to look back on your favorite moments on the gridiron. Then sit back and enjoy a great game between two storied NFL franchises.
