Holiday Bowl High Hurdles

Did you see LeGarrette Blount? His 29-yard TD run to cap Oregon's Holiday bowl victory on Tuesday is the best play I've seen this bowl season. And it's going to take a hugely remarkable play to top it. Blount hurdled a bewildered Oklahoma State dude and then stiff-armed another to score the final touchdown. If you didn't see it, catch it on the highlight shows or when it finally hits the internet. It's reminiscent of this play he made earlier in the season, but better. Great effort. He should run hurdles for the track team.

It made me wonder which was worse: getting hurdled in football or getting dunked on in hoops. I gotta go with the hurdle. That's just plain embarrassing, and, unlike dunks, it doesn't happen every day.
