Most Amazing College Football Play

On November 30, 2013, the Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide were tied 28-28 with one second left on the clock.  What happened next was the most unforgettable moment in college football. Alabama attempted a long field goal and Auburn ran the missed kick back 109 yards to win the game.

There is a back-story to the game that makes the unfolding of this brief particularly amazing.  There were events going back years to set up the circumstances for this unique play.  You can enjoy this background information in this article.  Google "Behind College Football's Most Amazing Play" by Ben Cohen and Rachel Bachman and you can read this article, written on January 3, 2014 in the Wall Street Journal.  This is a great story, which is why I am writing about it now:  I have just re-read the story and want to share it with you.

When I watched the game live on TV, I remember jumping to my feet and whooping and hollering.  Thanks to YouTube we can see it again:

Tomorrowland is a Fun Movie

Movie review of Tomorrowland

I enjoyed the movie Tomorrowland and I recommend it.  The advertisements feature George Clooney, but the star of the film, in my opinion, is Raffey Cassidy who plays a child named Athena.  Britt Robertson is supposed to be the star child actor, but I think Raffey Cassidy upstaged her.

Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) was not in the advertisements, so his appearance was a delightful surprise.

The movie has good special effects and promotes optimism, a welcome relief from dystopian movies like Hunger Games.  The movie is rated PG, a welcome change.
