It's here. The end of football. For Cyclone fans it feels like the end happened sometime in September, but contrary to that belief there have been multiple football games played by multiple teams since.
Regardless of how you feel about the NFL or Roger Goddell, tonight's game pits unquestionably the best teams from both conferences against each other at a neutral site. The Seahawks are defending champions and Russell Wilson brings a 10-0 career record against Super Bowl winning quarterbacks to the game, and the Patriots are as close to a modern day dynasty that the NFL allows these days. Tom Brady will set a record with his sixth start in a Super Bowl, and is looking to join Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana as the only four time winners.
