Sugar ought to be good (pulling for Ark). Cotton will probably be a blowout, but I hope LSU loses. I need Nevada to win, of course. As I said elsewhere, I'll go for Oregon, and the Rose was the best of the rest - you missed a good one.

At the very least they're making a game of it. Glad I tuned in for the 2nd half. I'm even gonna have a beer. Fuck studying.

Dangit. Well, I was only against Ohio State because of their elitist AD. Hey, but Sid Gillman went there, so they got that going for them.

On the other hand, their NFL alumni seem to universally refer to the school as "THE Ohio State University", which seems worthy of parody.

At my last job we had a board member who was a professor at Ohio who refused to sign off on anything unless the word "the" was present. Our copy-editors took it out anyway and he'd call to complain. Every single time.

Hey, I remember Sid Gillman, he coached the Oilers for a couple of seasons.

I bet Sid wasn't a douchebag about saying "the".

They're looking pretty good. I like Nevada. Western pride and all that, but I also really like Reno as a town, and Chris Ault is the shit.

Man, I have these exams coming up, and I've tried to study, today, yesterday, over the last week, but too much football on my mind, probably was able to study 5 hours all week. With the Miracle on Turf yesterday (have you all seen The Run? if not or even if so click here for a more complete picture of it and here for just the play w/ the announcers scrubbed), the Nevada game and most significantly Oregon/Auburn tomorrow night. So nervous and excited about it, have never anticipated a game more than this.

Sports hasn't ruled my life this much since 2005, starting with the Seahawks handing the Colts their second consecutive loss in a previously undefeated season (I was there!) up through the rigged Super Bowl, and of course the 2001 baseball season.

But as far as the Seahawks go, even if by an act of God they were to go on to win the Super Bowl this year, it would still be a disappointing season because we lost to Denver. It's only a family rivalry, but I hate the Denver Broncos more than any other team in any sport, professional or amateur. In fact, if the Broncos would have gone to Super Bowl XL and lost to the Seahawks, that would have been the greatest day of my life.

I had not seen that.

Dayum, that was great.  The stiffarm to Tracy Porter alone ought to get the guy into the hall of fame.

Clearly Marshawn picked up a star before making that run.

(Even non-sports people should watch this.)

Oh my god.  That was amazing.  I had to fly in and come straight to work, but still... that was incredible.  I don't have the words.

I have to figure out the best way to get pictures up somewhere.  Here is a bad way (that will probably die soon):

You lucky, lucky bastard. Would have been awesome to be there. I imagine it was a great time.

Also, I will hate you (Auburn) for another few days, and then I'll get over it. It was a great game.

The best analogy I've heard is the Red Sox when they beat the Yankees down 0-3 and went on to win the World Series.  We've been the second team in our own state for a hundred years, and suddenly we beat that team, on their home field, from being down 24-3, and we go on to win the national title for the first time in 53 years, after an amazing, nailbiting, heart-stopping game.

Oh my god.

Yelling our stupid nonsensical cheers that I know by heart.

Singing "It's great to be an Auburn Tiger" over and over with thousands of other people.

Saying "War Eagle" and high-fiving random strangers.

It doesn't seem real yet.

But that picture is totally honest and it's exactly what it felt like.
