Tangled Up In Blog

I am sleepy today. You know why? Because I was up until 12:30 this morning watching THE TIGERS!!! kick the crap out of Notre Dame. Ending the season with a win is always nice because who wants to spend 8 months dwelling on a loss? Not me.

I decided that I wanted to have fun tailgate food for the game but a nap before the game intervened so Andy and I picked up Thai food. I don't think curry is a traditional tailgating food but it was delicious. We did tempt fate a few times before the game...instead of the traditional Beam and coke pregame drink we had Jack and Coke (courtesy of my fantasy football winnings), because there was no Beam at the Thai restaurant; I wore a new, untested t-shirt; and Andy almost put a sweatshirt on which is unheard of! Thankfully I stopped him. We were so pumped up for the beginning of the game. After the first touchdown I realized that I was jumping up and down on the couch and had no clue how I had gotten there. Then I got really nervous when Notre Dame tied it up at 14. I think that the touchdown we scored right before the half was the difference maker. That really changed the momentum and allowed us to dominate for the rest of the game.

Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long were in the booth for the game which I had anticipated would be disastrous. Instead, Andy and I both really enjoyed it. I thought they were funny and they actually talked about football and made real football references instead of the dumbed-down commentary we usually get.

It was another great win for the Tigers and probably the last game for Jamarcus Russell who is getting a ton of hype after last night...more than pretty boy Quinn. I guess we can hope that now the media will wake up and stop glorifying Notre Dame season after season. It won't happen but we can hope.

All right, that's the last football post of the year except for the Saints.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!
