A blast from the (recent) past:

True, that wasn't in the championship game, but still: that was almost the greatest thing ever.

In an alternate universe, Oden made that dunk. The game was called on account of awesome, and Greg Oden was awarded the national championship. He gave it to Ohio State out of the goodness of his heart. Today, in that alternate universe, there is no war, no hunger, no Wolverines. There's a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage. And tonight in that alternate universe, Greg Oden, with the greatest beard ever, is preparing to lead the Buckeyes to their second consecutive national championship.

Enjoy the game tonight, but never forget what might have been.
