Here is the day we have all been waiting for. The "New Year's Day" bowl games are on the day after, but there are some great matchups today.
Look at at least 2 upsets....
This is a revised script! There must have been some last-minute changes.
It was perfect..I had no clue. Really gutsy, if it failed GE would have had great field position. It turned out to be a great, fun game.
What's Lynne Swann going to do?
He's running for Governor of Pennsylvania, last I heard.
That oughtta be interesting.
He's going to take Ed Rendell's job.
HOW BOUT THEM EEERS!!!
It's West Virginia, it's West Virginia, the pride of every Mountaineer!!!
Fake punt was BEAUTIFUL!
Congratulations from a 55 year Pitt fan. I've loved and "hated" you forever, but tonight, I was all for you. A great win!!!
Good night to all--see youse on future threads. Great day o' football.
Then PSU should be in good shape this coming year!
Good old Joe Paterno, he never ran for Governor of PA (a lot of us wanted him to), he never retired when his winning streak sagged (and a lot of citizens used to drop hints that he should retire.) Joe Paterno is "Mister Penn State", I revere him for his many years of service to the school.
Got my vote!
maybe.
Morelli has been up and down.
He hasn't seen a lot of time as a starting QB, and the learning curve might bite them a couple times early.
From a WV paper this morning.....
"The Mountaineers saved their biggest surprise for the end. Georgia was poised to get the ball back when West Virginia dropped back to punt on fourth-and-6 at the Bulldogs 48. Phil Brady hauled in the long snap but took off running, gaining 10 yards on the fake and a game-clinching first down."
By the way, this is the kind of thing that Bill Cowher would most likely never attempt in a huge playoff game.

Georgia was moving the ball rather easily every time they tried in the second half. This was a gutsy call, to let the kicker take the chance if he thought it was there. (The defensive line on the punt return peeled back, so the kicker went for it.)
It was a great play to see.
Classy statement. I'll pass that on to my hubby!
Congratulations to the Buckeyes. A great win. I didn't know how good Troy Smith is until I watched him yesterday. I see a NC in their future!!
I think I see a Heisman in Troy's future.
Teddy might get it instead, but next year is going to be the best the offense will be for a while. Troy will graduate and Boeckman isn't exactly mobile....
I just realized something.
The Buckeyes are 10-2 with a -10 turnover ratio.
That's damn near unheard of.
