              ONE OF THE BEST BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES EVER

  (Mr. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, this past week, the college football season 
culminated in one of the best BCS Championship games ever played when 
the Auburn Tigers took on the FSU Seminoles.
  Even though I am a resident of Florida, I am a graduate of Auburn and 
was, of course, rooting for my Tigers.
  I want to commend Auburn's coach, Gus Malzahn, for taking Auburn from 
worst to first in the SEC and leading his team to play for the national 
championship game. His efforts were nothing short of incredible. He 
made believers not only of his players, but also believers out of all 
of us. He showed us that persistence, discipline, self-confidence, and 
faith in God will lead to success, both individually and as a team.
  I also want to congratulate my friend, Coach Jimbo Fisher of Florida 
State. Coach Fisher is not only a great coach, but he obviously married 
well because his wife, Candi, is also an Auburn alumnus.
  While my heart is always in Auburn, my hat goes off to the Florida 
State Seminoles for a well-earned victory. Congratulations.
  War Eagle.
