those were 2 awesome games .... Kind of watched the replays too ... woke up @ early and went back ....

.. to sleep until 10:30

Big boy football. What is not to love?

Michigan’s Blake Corum has monster legs

Ohio State fan but go big ten.

Can the media shut up about Jim Harbaugh leaving big blue for the NFL?

Washington’s QB can spin it.

Still a very good game. I celebrate Michigan's team, albeit I still feel uncomfortable about the reward of a team that was shown to cheat--even if the players were not responsible.

And the Sugar Bowl was entertaining throughout--especially the last few minutes.

Monday night should bring a very good "showdown."

Thank heavens we are done with four-team playoffs--something that would have been changed several years ago had a couple of conferences outside the SEC not lobbied against it.

Pinnix has been a thorn in my Ducks ass all year.
He and Bo balled out yesterday. I think both were better Hiesman choices this year.
Great Football, especially without another Georgia Alabama final game.
My loyalty I guess is with Pack 12 final game. But Washington losing their star running back is just not good. Pinnix is a real star, and will need to carry them.
When Football is done, at least I got summer Olympics and Tour de France to cheer for.
Great Football weekend. Buh bye Texas and Bama and everything Florida. Their political choices drive my hate.
Happy New Year and great health to all. Except Orange people. Aw man, my daughter is a Tenn Grad and as hard core a football as me. So just curse the one orange person.

Taking 3 knees would have accomplished the same thing.

Bad bad coaching choices by DeBoer throughout that game and I'm a Husky partisan.

Poor clock management. Almost gave the game away. That poor young man worked his life to get to a championship and now this. I can’t comprehend his heartbreak.
Even as a die hard Duck fan, my heart hurts for that young man.
Those coaches make millions, they should have a better Appreciation of clock control than we do. That was late at night to get that kind of stress. Getting calmed down to sleep was a chore. A LONG two minutes. Try to sleep with images of Texas fans in your head. All I could see were Abbot’s , Cruz’s and Paxton’s in Cowboy hats.
I have to live with that kind questionable coaching crap with Mike McCarthy. Imagine his paycheck.
Oh right, Jerry is the coach.

Same here. I'm glad Huskies held on but the price was high.

With the 49ers and he was terrible. He should stay where he is.

Games were great yesterday! Although Oregon destroying the Jesus school was my favorite.

But things have changed and in lots of games the players going pro don’t play the bowl games
