I never was a Nebraska football fan, but I gained a world of respect for Tom Osborne when he went for the two point conversion and the win. He could have easily settled for a tie and a national championship in the Orange Bowl years ago. I don't think anyone ever second guessed him for his decision. If you want to be number one, go in through the front door not the back.

Ummm, lots of people questioned his decision to do that.
I'll get on the VT coach for making a mockery of the game that lead to the NH coach doing the same. The VT coach started it by throwing wild pitches. He should have just let the game play out, not said anything, then the NH coach would have done the same. When the VT coach started telling kids to lose intentionally, the NH coach was well within his right to do the same, IMO.
