Kinda shocked that LSU just fell to Notre Dame, 31-28. Oh, well. I didn't really have a dog in that race, but I did make a bet that the SEC would go undefeated in their bowl games. There goes five bucks.
SEC kind of choked overall in bowl games this season. Oregon game was the most interesting bowl game I've seen. They don't televise Oregon games very often where I live but that team is scary.

I remember the Broncos being victimized from, and having advantage of, calls here and there during the season.

Egregious calls are really frustrating when they happen, but here's my attitude: Bad calls are part of the game. If you haven't dominated enough, and one call makes or breaks the game, then you don't have an expectation of winning anyway.

I also think that if you asked fans of various teams, "Does your team get victimized by bad calls more often than not?" about 100% of them would say yes, leading to a statistical impossibility.

Calls always go against The Giants!!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! :going_down: I'll most likely be hidden away in my bedroom or craft room so I can't see or hear the Patriots/Ravens game as I know my blood pressure would be spiking. It's not going to be pretty no matter which way it goes as they've got a history and the Ravens play dirty. Even when they're not playing the Patriots it always looks to me like they're not just trying to end a play, they're trying to take their opponents out of the game.
