The Super Bowl wound up going down to the last possession of the game and the NY Giants beat the New England Patriots 21 to 17. Giants' QB Eli Manning won the Super Bowl MVP. This was the 4th Super Bowl Title for the NY Giants and the second time they had beaten Tom Brady and the Patriots. After going 9 and 7 during the regular season the Giants are World Champions.
The ArmChair Coach picked the Super Bowl winner and the final record for my football picks this season was 157 and 56 for a percentage of .737. It has been a very interesting, exciting and at times heartbreaking season for The ArmChair Coach and I have enjoyed sharing my take on High School, College and NFL football. I will continue to share my sports opinions and information with you as we go forward. I will post a new blog twice a month beginning on March 5th. Let's look at National Signing Day 2012.
NATIONAL SIGNING DAY 2012
The top two players in the state of South Carolina, Lexington's Shaq Roland and Gaffney's Quinshad Davis signed with South Carolina and North Carolina. Roland had been committed to South Carolina for a few months but, Davis announced on signing day to go to North Carolina.
The Clemson Tigers signed four of the Top 10 players in the state of South Carolina, as they were able to get Daniel DL Shaq Lawson, Silver Bluff DB Cordrea Tankersley, Dorman OL Patrick DeStefano and Fox Creek DB Marty Williams.
