We're a duck family also - well, 2 out of 4 (me and the daughter), so I was feeling slightly suicidal yesterday (I love my ducks). Called the daughter after the game (she had gone back to school to watch the game with friends) and asked, "So are you okay or crying?". She responds, "Oh, I fell asleep during the 3rd quarter." What!!!! I don't actually think she's related to me at all.

Anyway - tough loss but to a great team, so I've decided to live another day. On a positive note - our BBall team beat UW on the road by some unbelievable act of God, so that took a tiny bit of the sting out.

GO GATORS!! So glad to see them Whoop Cincinnati's behinds! Now, if only UT can beat Bama! (we can dream! :))

I must admit I really savored OSU's win in the Rose Bowl. I was really quite sick of my SEC grad friends giving me grief about OSU's supposed lack of speed, conservative game-playing, over-hyped defense, and how any SEC team could beat OSU any time anywhere, blah blah blah. That question is still up in the air, I'll take this win. Tressel and his coaches must have come in with a different practice and game strategy this year, the team looked fresh and confident.

SEC Five-peat!
 

Congratulations to Bama!
