Just found out a friend of mine from high schools brother passed away unexpectedly. Life shouldn't be taken for granted.

Not the same cause I'm old as **** but the guy whose fastball broke my nose all the **** up when we were kids had a couple strokes and died last week. Didn't realize till talking about it at a class reunion that it bummed him out. Told me, all serious like, "Yeah, I think about that sometimes." That was like when we were in our 50's. His batterymate was also at the reunion, and commented on being grossed out by all the blood. He died a few years ago. Makes me feel kinda old.
 
I DVD's the Oklahoma MBB 20-point comeback, and I have re-watched it several times. I always get goosebumps, especially when Fran Franschilla said "Here they come, Brent."
For me, it's the floor-slapping and Isaiah Cousins shouting "get that **** outta here" at the bench after blocking a shot. You could see it in Georges' face...not in OUR house. :D

Went to that game, put my sweatshirt when we went down . Right after that timeout we went on that run. Nobody let me take my sweatshirt off. Needless to say, surprised I made it.
 
Actually I think there may be other variables involved. Also 3-0 since I bought my new ISU hat (and wore it before the game) and also when @ImJustKCClone wears her special fuzzy slippers. I think it requires all 3. Maybe there's a variable supplied by each RTT'er.

AlmondGirl better do a spreadsheet.

I was at a bar watching the Iowa State and Wisconsin game with some friends; I'll definitely do that again if it means Iowa State wins.

@BoxsterCy, your clip (thx, BTW!) reminded me of one of my very favorite cartoon characters (the first clip is the best one):

Fun fact: I actually named my computer George just because of that clip
 
Stayed up to watch the end of MNF.....my Packers aren't playing very well, but a pretty incredible finish anyway. Mason Crosby made all 7 of his kicks last night after missing 5 of 6 a week ago, including the game-winning FG as time expired. Sweet redemption!
 
They replayed the ISU game last night on one of the Fox stations. I didn't realize it and found it just before the cell phone flashlight stuff. It looked so cool on TV.
 
Went to bed "early"...early for myself...but slept fitfully. How many yawns will I stifle today?

You know those sleeps you have when you dont even realize you are sleeping? Yeah, had one of those last night. It was amazing. Dont even remember the gf going to bed after me, thats how glorious it was.

I hate it when that happens. I took a shower at 8pm last night and went straight to bed.

Woke up at 1:12am, but must have fallen back asleep again at some point, because I woke up again at 3:30am. Plus I bumped up my squats and deadlifts last night, so my legs are dead today.
 
Dang, I wish I'd known that. I would've DVR'd it..........
I'm sure it will be broadcast again a few times this week on either FS1 or FSM.

Edit: Cox TV listing for my area shows it will be rebroadcast on FSM at 9am on Wednesday

Someone also posted a Youtube link to the game last night minus commercials
