BCS College Football Championship

Melissa and her dad, David, traveled to Miami this week to cheer on the Oklahoma Sooners. Sadly, the Sooners didn't quite match up to Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators, but Melissa and David still were able to enjoy the Florida sunshine and some father/daughter bonding.

Wow! How did you get this keepsake treasure of a photo? Melissa, your dad is looking positively vibrant and healthy. He must be following all the rules and taking very good care of himself. I'm glad to see that. Despite the outcome of the game, I'm sure it was a great experience.

You both look great. Unfortunate about Oklahoma but on a brighter note...THE STEELERS WON!

I watched the game and I thought it was pretty good. I liked Florida but all you really want is for it be a good game, played well, by good sportsmen, who know how to take a loss as well as a win.

Well done!

I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
