With Rutgers’ loss to West Virginia, the Louisville Cardinals will head to their first BCS bowl in school history by virtue of a tiebreaker (the Cardinals beat West Virginia and Rutgers lost to West Virginia a few minutes ago in a classic thriller in Morgantown).
In addition to the Cardinals, the Oklahoma Sooners will punch their tickets to the BCS by winning the Big 12 championship over Nebraska this evening.
So start the debating of who will face the Ohio State Buckeyes in Glendale.
I once had an interest in going to West Virginia University when I was a junior in high school, one could imagine how my life would have been.
The game between Rutgers and West Virginia has gone into the third overtime, with the score knotted at 33.

This is the eighth meeting between the two schools, West Virginia and Louisville has played each other since 1984 (the year of my birth) and has won six of the seven previous meetings between the two schools.
The game tonight marks the first time in the history of Big East football that two teams other than Virginia Tech or Miami has played each other with top 5 rankings.
Louisville fans are “blacking out” Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium for tonight’s game, which should be a treat to see on television.
I will be filing game reports from tonight’s game as I follow it on television and Yahoo! Gamechannel.
More than likely Kasi will be online for me to talk to.
And probably about some things that will not be mentioned in this blog.
