Tuesday night football

I love college football. The tailgates, the marching bands, the mascots, not to mention random games on weeknights. Tuesday night football is a great idea for lesser known schools looking to get a little national exposure. In fact some of the most intriguing and exciting things happen in these games. Last night was such an occasion. Flipping channels in a motel on a road trip to see family, I stopped on ESPN2 with :53 seconds left in the Florida Atlantic/Middle Tennessee State game. The outcome was in doubt so I stayed with it until the end. Questionable clock management looked like it would cost MTSU the victory, but a "Hail Ma" pass (I think it needs to be over 50 yards to be a full Hail Mary) from Blue Raider quarterback Joe Craddock was caught in heavy traffic by receiver Malcolm Beyah with no time left on the clock, and an extra point later, it was a Tuesday night party in Murfreesboro! These teams have no chance to play in a BCS bowl, but under the bright lights of Tuesday night football it was not only watchable, but enjoyable!
