Here's your sign

So I called my dad a few minutes ago and told him that I'd just left the best football game I've ever seen in person, and he said, "The Ohio State game?" Yes, Dad. I jetted to Columbus right after working this afternoon for the OSU/PSU game.... Here's your sign (sorry for sharing, Dad, that just made me laugh).

The Bears just pulled out an amazing win, 49-42 in overtime. Granted, it was a bad night for the defense (or T'Fez, as they say at Ho'net games), but I'm exhausted and hoarse from screaming. We were behind 14 points in the 4th quarter, scored 21 straight to go ahead 42-35 with 1:27 to go in the game, and we let them score in less than a minute. So overtime. We got the ball first and scored a touchdown and extra point. Nicholls State (#19 in the country), ran two plays for pretty significant gains, then the QB pitched to the tailback, who dropped the shovel pass and we fell on it. Victory! I'm sure those peeps who left when we were down two TDs feel pretty stupid right about now.

It was one of those games that it's a shame someone has to lose. But if someone does, I'm glad it wasn't us.

At halftime, they had a contest where they pulled a guy's name, and he had the chance to win a car by throwing a 35-yard pass into the open window of the car in the endzone. That never happens, right? He did it. Evidently he's a college kid who never played football and rumor has it he'd been enjoying the tailgating a bit too much and was really... let's just say, relaxed when he threw it. After he made it in the car, the stands erupted in cheers, and he ran around the field like a crazy person.

Not a bad day at work.

It's gonna be a lovely day

Do you ever just get up and know it's going to be a good day?

My dad woke me up at 7 a.m. (and I was actually grateful, since I forgot to set my alarm) to tell me that the Bears were #1 on SportsCenter's top 10. Our offense looked unstoppable last night.

And my good pal Ashley is preggers! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a girl, since Larry Jr. Jr. probably would not look good in pink.

Hooray for Friday! It's gonna be a lovely day.

How 'bout them Bears?!?

Is anyone else watching the UCA game? Nathan Brown has SIX TD passes in the first half. Good gravy, our offense looks unstoppable. Yay for Coach Cooley.

GO BEARS!
