Obviously disappointed today, but it was a close game.
I kept thinking whoever has the ball last will probably win by a FG and that's exactly what happened.

That last ND touchdown was a belated Christmas gift when the PSU defender slipped and fell and left the guy wide open, but that's football.

I watched Drew Allar play QB all season, and last night he was just 'off' his normal game by a fraction.
Not sure if the pressure got to him, but his timing was off just a bit, and his throwing motion looked tight.

Anyhoo...I hope Texas comes through tonight because if the championship game comes down to ND and OSU I would rather watch a hockey game.  :harhar:

It was a good game, and since I don't really follow either team that's what I wanted to see. :)

Congrats to Penn State for a great year.

I'm not an Ohio State fan but fuck Texas so Go Ohio State!  :lol:

You can bet ND will be prayin to Touchdown Jesus that Texas somehow knocks out OSU. :coffee:

I was excited the game was starting at 7:30EST. Then it didn't start until closer to 8. Then the extended halftime. Fuckin game wasn't over until 11:30.

Some of us do have to get up and go to work.

AAAAAND...some of us were enjoying some adult beverages during the game, which makes the sound of that stupid alarm clock even MORE annoying than usual!  :realmad:  :harhar:  :lol:

Yeah. I did a really bad job at pacing myself. :cry:

Then the wife woke me up at 3 to let the dog out. :realmad:

When the alarm went off at 4:45, I was in no mood. :rant:

I have zero desire to watch the championship game now. It will be noting but a love-fest for notre dame.
And if somehow the suckeyes beat Texas, the announcers will be even more insufferable, jumping at any chance to praise every single thing the athletes do.

Take a shot every time you hear:
Adversity
One of the best in the country

Me neither.

The Pens are playing next Monday night, but it is a West Coast game that doesn't start until 10:30 Eastern.
I usually DVR those and watch them the next night.

The Pens are playing Washington on Saturday the 18th, so I will probably DVR that game and watch it on Monday rather than listen to the ESPN guys fawning all over the Golden Domers like they are God's gift to football.  :wallbash:

NO THANK YOU!!  :no:

Oh it's worse if you're watching them on NBC but yeah ESPN is pretty bad with that, as is the WORST announcer in history: Gus Johnson!

I will be unplugging mine and chucking it out the window in March, so I won't need to worry about it anymore!  :cheers:
