... picking up where we left off...
3:09 p.m.
Texas @ Wyoming
The Cowboys draw a standing ovation as the result of closing the first quarter down just three points to the No. 2 Longhorns. That's nice. I haven't seen a good moral victory ovation in awhile.
3:15 p.m.
BYU @ Tulane
Continuing an earlier theme, I'm now stuck with the question: In nature, how would a cougar react if it encountered a green wave?
... I think I may have too much time on my hands.
3:19 p.m.
Notre Dame @ Michigan
In describing Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson, and announcer just referred to his feet as "magic" and said "He's electric" in a 20-second span. While I'm disappointed that the announcer didn't follow up said statements with "boogie woogie woogie," I'm also rather curious. I've never before seen a person that runs on electricity whose feet perform illusions. Seems like the Wolverines could sell tickets just based on that.
3:40 p.m.
Houston @ Oklahoma State
I think fans who are shown on camera during football game broadcasts should not allowed to yell "We're number one!" and hold up one finger (normally the index finger... hopefully) unless they are actually fans of the team that is ranked No. 1. If not, they must appropriately represent their school.
For example, OSU is ranked No. 6. Therefore, their orange-clad fans are allowed to look at the camera with wild looks in their eyes and yell "We're No. 6!" while holding up six fingers. If your team is not ranked in the top 10 (and therefore cannot be appropriately represented by your fingers," you are allowed to yell "We're... trying to get better! Seriously, we are! Someday - hopefully soon - we'll be in finger-representation range!"
4:01 p.m.
Houston @ Oklahoma State
Thanks to an on-side kick and then some nifty running on a screen pass, Houston takes a 24-7 lead over OSU. At this rate, Cowboys' fans might want to yell "We're number six!" while it's still factual.
4:08 p.m.
Texas @ Wyoming
Words of wisdom from this broadcast crew: "It's not how you react, it's how you respond."
Funny, I react and respond to that comment in the same way: They're synonyms! The words mean the same thing! The definition for "react" at www.thefreedictionary.com even begins "To act in response..."
Sorry, broadcast crew, it's not that you're wrong, you just aren't right.
4:18 p.m.
... With that, it's time to leave the home office (my couch) to go secure seats to view K-State's battle against Cajuns who apparently show unnecessary rage. Unfortunately, my trusty laptop will not be making the aforementioned journey.
It's true, all good things (and, as in this case, all appallingly mediocre things) must come to an end.
