The most beautiful thing I have seen this year.

With :38 seconds left in the half, Arrington makes a side-diving catch in the endzone to put Michigan up again. Score 10 on the finish -- graceful -- shades of the young Randy Moss who used to amaze, though he usually went high outleaping his defenders.

I don't know how this game will end up, but I just wanted to note: that kind of physical beauty? That's why I watch football.

UPDATE:
Congratulations Coach Lloyd Carr:
"It helped that we were healthy. ... I love 'em to death."

An inspiring season, a great career.
And a beautiful finish. Good game.

ADDED:
And if Coach Carr is collecting clips, he ought to pick up Dave George's column today. Looks to me like Heisman winner or no, the Florida Gators head into their off seasons with a loss, same as FSU. Not too satisfying, or enviable a position really.

No need to worry, though, about what might happen three or five or seven years down the road. Meyer and his staff will outcoach Carr today. Tebow and his teammates will outplay the Wolverines. The Capital One Bowl, once considered a clunky consolation prize by Spurrier, will prove a major benefit to a Florida team that didn't even win its division in 2007.

Put it all together and you've got UF as 10-point bowl favorites and looking to make a lot more noise next year.

Could be a lot worse. Meyer could be back on the coaching carousel, measuring UF against some other big-time college opportunity or, once the stench of Bobby Petrino has passed, the NFL.

These are the good old days, that's my point.

Ask the folks at Michigan or Nebraska or Alabama or Notre Dame if a nice, quiet New Year's Day at the Capital One Bowl wouldn't feel pretty satisfying right about now.
