    Now that is what I call the best seat in the house. I figure Tebow would have to beat Pittsburgh in order to bring you all of the way back down to earth after last night.

    The carbon liberated from all the couch fires will undoubtedly raise the temperature of the globe by 3 degrees or more this year alone.

    That pic reminds me of a pic I had on my fridge until it was no longer discernable of a hugely smiling Red Sox fan sitting in Yankee Stadium at the end of game 7 in ’04 surrounded by Yankees fans who all looked like they’d just seen Newt’s santorum.

    Don’t know if it’s slowing folks down any, but it’s now a felony to burn a couch in Morgantown, IIRC.

    Anybody who beats Clemson is fine in my book. And, any time that the Big East whips some ACC ass is also fine. But, speaking of the Big East, I was watching my alma m. come from 21 points behind in the second half to beat Marquette. I’m on a Hoya high.

    Anyone remember that “Interjection” song from Schoolhouse Rock in the 70s/80s? When the crowd goes “Awwwwwww!” and then the one guy stands up and says, “Hurray! I’m for the other team!”

    Yeah, I’m old.

    And one more thing about that great bowl game last night.

    All football fans from all conferences should express their gratitude to the highly professional officiating team from the Big 10! They dealt with highly unusual circumstances involving complex situations and rarely-needed rules, and got it right 99 per cent of the time.

    The only call on the field that was reversed by the official review, IIRC, was the strip/fumble about a tenth of a second (or less) before the Clemson player would have been down by contact.

    Two touchdowns with WVU player Tavon Austin holding the ball over the pylon while flying out of bounds, but before he actually landed out of bounds, were both called correctly and upheld by the review.

    Darwin Cook pulling a fumble from the scrum of an up-the-middle touchdown run and returning it 99.something yards for a touchdown was called correctly.

    The tackle of a WVU receiver (was it Tavon again? I can’t remember!), resulting in the tackled player rolling over the tackling player without touching the ground, popping up and running for another 19 or 20 yards, again called correctly!

    I have attended a number of bowl games in the south when the officiating was, well, embarrassing, to be polite, and this was a pleasant change from that. So big props to the Big 10 refs for doing a really professional job under tough circumstances!

    All right one more thing.

    In Morgantown the students used to burn (demolished front- or back-porch) couches after a big win. As other mention, this was addressed by draconian police crack-downs and the creation of a new felony about burning furniture.

    Why on Earth don’t the social organizations get together to create places where a big bonfire can be built after big wins, with a firetruck and some police present to keep things safe? Couldn’t this even be a big fund raiser?

    I’m not talking about the huge bonfire the Texas A&M “engineering” students built with heavy equipment, that collapsed and killed some students. Just a stack of broken pallets, maybe on a big sheet of steel normally used over a hole in the highway.

    Organize the fires into pep rallies, for crying out loud!

    Now I’ll stop. Really!

    Oh,
