My National Champion

So after the last two elections, bumper stickers and buttons came out saying things like "Al Gore is MY President" or "Kerry is MY President." Well you know what? Boise State is MY National Champion (for college football). The only undefeated team in the country, winning the Fiesta Bowl on a series of miracle plays, including a last ditch hook-and-ladder to force an overtime and a gutsy and miraculous Statue of Liberty 2 point conversion to win in overtime. Florida? Ohio State? USC? Please. Boise State is my #1.

Which brought up an interesting question...what would Boise State running back Ian Johnson have to do to have a better day than he did at the Fiesta Bowl? In addition to his 101 rushing yards and a touchdown, this guy carried the ball from the quarterback's hands on the last play of the game in overtime (the Statue of Liberty), and ran it into the endzone untouched, completing a come-from-behind victory--both in the game and the entire football program's history. He then threw the ball into the stands, ran over to Chrissy, his cheerleader girlfriend, and proposed on national television with countless fans--both old and new--watching and cheering his victory and engagement.


So here's what a better day would have to look like (thanks to First Tiger for his help in figuring this out):
-Wins the Superbowl
-Finds out that after a year of trying, Chrissy is finally pregnant
-Discovers that the cancer he had been battling all year has not only gone into remission, but has been completely cured
-Realizes the cancer was cured by something he ingested, and on the back of a sheet of paper--the front being what he used to personally script the miracle play that won the Superbowl of course (did I forget to mention that?)--writes down the chemical formula for a drug that will cure cancer forever.
-Is immediately informed he'll be winning a Nobel Prize for what he just did, and declares his intent to donate all the money to feed hungry children
-Uses his clout to push through nationalized health insurance for everyone
-Osama bin Laden, after seeing and hearing of this, declares that no civilization that could produce such a man as Ian Johnson could possibly be evil, calls off the whole jihad thing, and after a 5 minute congratulatory phone conversation with the running back, accepts Ian's plan for world peace, and the two of them get every nation in the world to sign onto it.
Oh yeah and -Wins the lottery

If you take out any one or two of those, the day probably ranks in the "Top 2" category.
