My poor old carcass, which has had 4 surgeries in the last 10 months, was at the game from 45 min before until 15 min after. And you "up and left" the cushy comfort of your sofa and TV because your "old carcass just isn't as resilient as it used to be"? (Though it was of course resilient enough to lube a tractor.)Excellent comeback! My poor, old carcass just isn't as resilient as it used to be. Years and mileage...
I up and left at the half. I'd seen enough. I felt that we were unprepared, not only for the game or the weaknesses that OSU would likely exploit, but for the moment. No one was playing particularly well, and they were pressing. I was just sick that such a promising season was evaporating in a cloud of busted plays, overthrown passes, and wide-open OSU receivers 15 yards down the field. That and having to look at the damned OSU QBs mom over and over. She's got a face for radio...
I went out to the barn and wrestled the seed-thrower onto the tractor, and dug my grease gun out of a pile of junk to lube up all the gears and joints. Had some music on to work by, and was forgetting the angst and depression of the game while I continued to find grease nipples in the oddest of places...
I was startled by Mrs. Brewingfrog, who appeared in the door of the Barn (With a fresh beer in hand for me. What a wife!) with a look on her face. "You'd better get in here."
So, I watched the last couple of minutes of regulation, and then overtime. Yay! We won! And my tractor got lubed!
Wow. Four surgeries? One would think a lobotomy sort of takes the first time...My poor old carcass, which has had 4 surgeries in the last 10 months, was at the game from 45 min before until 15 min after.

But you quit on the Frogs before you'd even seen the halftime adjustments? And whether the team would quit or dial things up a notch or two?
Gee, life is hard.
Still waiting for the skinny dip proof....Missed the game; gave ticket to a friend.
Had a concert in Grapevine with TXCMP.

I think that sometimes the officials use these "review" breaks as a bathroom break, or a drink a beer break. No way that review should have taken just over three minutes.Yeah, that was a weird one. I understand mistakes can be made on live calls due to being at the wrong angles, but there were 2 perfect camera angles that clearly showed he was fully in bounds and about 3 yards past the goal line. The review should have taken less than 30 seconds to get right.
In fact, the booth is calling down and stopping the play already, and should just be able to tell them to overturn the call on the field immediately when it’s that clear.
The last 50 seconds of the first half of the Utah/USC game took between 15 - 20 minutes. Reviews, clock scheiss ups, you name it.I'm still stuck on the call they made on Wiley's touchdown.
First, the side judge called him down short of the end zone. Not out, but short.
Then they took forever to review it. He obviously didn't step out and he clearly crossed the line.
Does the booth get paid by the minute for reviews?
There were back to back targeting calls against USC on one series in the 4th quarter.The last 50 seconds of the first half of the Utah/USC game took 20 minutes. Reviews, clock scheiss ups, you name it.
If I had seen several of the Officials chugging tallboys...I think that sometimes the officials use these "review" breaks as a bathroom break, or a drink a beer break. No way that review should have taken just over three minutes.

Graffiti at one of my former watering holes: "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lo-bot-o-meee..."Alas, I'm not as fortunate as you.
I just checked. Permission granted to post in the Pit. No one will see it, I promise!
Well…I’m here to report it was a rough morning/day. Hangover city. But it was totally worth it! My dog smelled like tequila. Either I spilled it on him or he helped himself while I was having panic attacks in the 4th quarterMissed the game; gave ticket to a friend.
