Fuck Andrew Luck, fuck Peter Thiel, fuck Tiger Woods, fuck Josh Hawley, fuck Elon “space Karen” Musk, fuck Elizabeth Holmes, fuck Condoleezza Rice, certainly fuck Herbert Hoover, fuck Mitt Romney, fuck Jim Harbaugh, fuck David Shaw, and fuck you to if you went to Stanford university.

Fuck Stanford from today to infinity. In a shit stain of a season we still wiped our asses with your shitty uniforms, with your shitty program and even shittier school.

Big Game bitches!

I appreciate Jaydn Ott, Daniel Scott, and Jackson Sirmon excising the memories of two indifferent Jack Plummer fade passes...

OMG, we won!

A few fun facts: Justin Wilcox is now 3-3 in Big Games. Jack Plummer has quarterbacked more Big Game wins than Jared Goff, Mike Pawlawski and Craig Morton combined. The Bears have won back-to-back Big Games for the first time since 08-09.

As shitty as it was, the offense by committee and play calling was still more fun to watch than Musgrave’s offense. I really don’t want to see another Jack Plummer falling backwards airmail 50/50 ball ever again.

We fired Musgrave won the Big Game but this offense wasn't much promising.

Also in the category of "noteworthy" for _this_ Big Game, the band held the high "free" note in the Star Spangled Banner for a REALLY long time. Musically, it seemed like forever, though it may have only been about 10 seconds in reality. At first we wondered what the heck they were doing. When the band director dramatically searched about the sky, I knew it was for a flyover. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep the band playing the note for much longer, and they wrapped it up. Maybe 90 seconds after they concluded, THREE jets in formation in an awesome low display delivered the expected shrieking flyover. This isn't the first time I've seen a badly coordinated flyover. Those things must be very difficult to execute, let alone in time with the music of TWO marching bands.

I blame Stanfurd.

Uncomfortable and true confession: I left Memorial before the 4th quarter. The Bear did not quit, even though I did.

Happy days. We've got the Axe. Improbable but delightful 4th quarter. Plus I got to meet Avinash on the field after the game.

The packed stadium of fans carried that game during unwatchable stretches. Defense carried the day, though.

Have to deduct some fan points for the worst fan field rush I've seen. Basic flow dynamics, people!

Daniel Scott willed the Bears to victory in the fourth quarter.

We won because I wore my 40 year old The Play hoodie!

Started watching at halftime and felt sad. But now I am happy!
