Go Mountaineers!
*** Update ***
Not college, but the Steelers just knocked the Bengals out of the playoffs for the second time this year. BWAHAHAHA.
Sure, it was a disappointing season for the Steelers, and I worry about Cowher leaving, but a quick message to the Bengals fans out there:
“WE ARE STILL SUPERBOWL CHAMPS, BEEOCH.”

Go, ‘Neers!
Ben
Go Broncos (BSU, not Denver)
demimondian
Oh, and Tim? I still owe you a six pack from last January.

Don’t let the power go to your head, demi.

Go Cal.

Go Lions! Beat the ‘Boys!

That is a nice bookend to an otherwise inconsistent and mediocre season for the Steelers. And since they’re out of it now, I can put aside some of the bitterness.
Go Pats!
Go Hawks!

Great, just great. Now I’ve got the big blue guy stuck in my head. Unlimited cosmic power, my arse…but I have to agree about the itty bitty living space! :D
I think today my daughter and I will marathon on Disney movies while the hubby OD’s on football. Chocolate fondue for everyone!
Happy New Year.
Krista
I’ll be over in 15 minutes. :)
demimondian
Lucky creeps. I’m stuck in my office, with neither a football fix nor a big blue guy fix. :(

J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!

John, I’ve always liked you, but, good god man, “BWAHAHAHA”? You’re above that. That always gives me the heebee jeebees.
“Suck a dick, Bengalis!” would have been highly preferable.
Thank you.
demimondian
Excellent job, Broncos! Can’t even hold the 49ers to a tie.

‘Hawks stumble into the playoffs with a nice win. I even watched the game, and somehow didn’t jinx it with the Evil Heisenburg power of my observation.
Lots of bowl games tomorrow. I plan to be very hungover, watching them through bleary eyes and aching head.
demimondian
It’s a pity that the Cowboys aren’t quite as bad as Tampa Bay.
Ryan S.
I’m a Chiefs fan, and all I can say is. Thanks for the asist Niners!
Krista
Isn’t it spelled “beeyotch”, anyway?
demimondian
That’s the Canadian spelling.
Krista
Teasing me about being Canadian…couldn’t think of anything more clever this time of night? :)
demimondian
Clever? Me? You must be thinking of some other “demimondian”. Let me think about it, though; I might be able to come up with something. :)

Dear Pittsburgh Stillers,
The KC Chiefs would like to curse you for the early season beating and now… thank you for knocking off those Bengals and dumping us in the playoffs.
We’ll be very clear… we will beat the Colts. The Colts are dead. Thanks Stillers.
Love,
KC Chiefs

Um…*last* night was new year’s eve. You really should have sobered up by now.
Punchy
I’m as happy as the next Joe to see the Broncos eliminated, but a drive-by? WTF?
Seriously, WTF?
And the Bears…Holy terrible. Good Lord.
Punchy
Sir Cole, what’s the status of White and Slaton? I need a REAL up-to-date, for betting purposes….can you make some phone calls and lemmie know how Slaton’s ankle is?
Gracias.

Go Niners! Close to Go Neers!
2007 is going to be a better year, except for the global warming, the war, etc.
Jill
Go Iggles!
demimondian
C’mon, Neers! That’s a great TD…so let’s see some more!

For the second year in a row I’ll point out that West Virginia is proof positive that college football is simply and inferior product.
Digital Amish
I didn’t get to see the end of the Gator Bowl but the Offensive line play on the ‘sleeper’ TD has got to make every highlight reel in the country. ‘Specially the center.
demimondian
Well, I think the Rose Bowl has given us a unanimous winner to the “Most Overrated Team” for this year: the Michigan Wolverines have managed to do more poorly against USC than even the University of Washington did, a truly memorable achievement!
David
Well, anybody east of the Left Coast who went to bed at a reasonable hour today missed what will probably end up being the best college game of the year, if not just the best sports game period. Just…damn. Amazing. I’m not a real BSU fan (never even heard of them before last year), but I was screaming at the TV by the end of overtime.
David
Oh, I’d also like to note that I can think of no trophy more appropriate for a coach who not only goes for a two-point conversion in overtime, but calls a Statue of Liberty play than an actual brass ball.
ezert
I see Carson Palmer is still saying the same thing again.
“That’s just another game we shouldn’t have lost to another team we feel we’re better than,” Palmer said.
Seriously. After how many times losing to the Steelers is he going to keep saying, “but we’re better than them.” Cincy won the game earlier this year, but only because Coclough, Haynes and Ben gave it to them. They sure as hell didn’t beat the Steelers. That gives them one game out of the last five where they actually outplayed the Steelers. You’re not better than them until you start beating them.
Grow up, Palmer.
Sam Hutcheson
The BSU/OU game is just another example. In college football, you can win by being weird and gimmicky because there aren’t enough good defenders to go around. Some may call it “fun” but what it really is is inferior play suceeding because of poor opposition defenses, which is kind of boring after a while.
Ben
The “weird and gimmicky” was the last 50 seconds of regulation and 1 play in OT, following 59 minutes of solid play on both sides. I’d have a hard time criticizing a team for doing what they had to in a moment of desparation, after giving up an INT for a TD with 1 minute left.
“WE ARE STILL FIESTA BOWL CHAMPS, BEEOCH.”

Superbowl champs for about another month. Enjoy it while it lasts.
