And now, your daily dose of debate, breaking news, and uncensored views. This is the Michael Medved

0:12.3

show. And another great day in this greatest nation on God's Green Earth. It is a great day.

0:19.0

The college football championships are finished.

0:23.7

The Indiana Hoosiers are college football's national champions for the first time in school history.

0:30.2

I remember when the Hoosiers were irrelevant to everything.

0:35.7

And here they have a perfect record. They beat the Miami Hurricanes
