That's why I got an 800 on the SAT---the math portion anyway.

Leon, I agree that this is a fabulously written sentence.  I disagree
with your punctuation editing, however.  The way Darlene wrote it was
perfectly proper, including her punctuation.

        Wow!  With very minor punctuation editing, this may be the best
written sentence in sports-writing history.

        It's being compared to the Oregon situation because people are
making snap judgments based on 10 seconds of video instead of the
context of the entire game; and, the people making these judgments are
either fans of rivals who hate anything Gator-related or sports media
looking to fuel any imagined controversy.
