1. What do Badgers do? Snarl?

   SNARL!Report

   1. It would appear that they also score.  Quite well.Report

   2. Badgers dig holes in the ground and hide in them, as I understand it.Report

2. A little behind the Alamo Bowl’s total halftime score — they better come out shooting in the 2nd half.Report

   1. See, there you go — 49 seconds, much better.Report

      1. It appears the badgers heard you as well.Report

3. Interception!

   (Now the quarterbacks’ stats are almost identical.)Report

   1. Seriously, how fun is this game?Report

      1. More fun than last year’s BCS title game, which was a bit brutal to watch.

         But I do have to complain about the fumble call in the first half.  It looked clear to me that Thomas’s arm had started forward (and I’m not usually a homer on these things, as I prefer a well-reffed game to a bad one that favors my team).Report

4. Touchdown, Oregon!  One more and they can tie the record for most points by a team.Report

5. Fumbllllllllllllle!Report

   1. Wow!!! And that might be the game!Report

      1. 16 seconds left…Badgers with the ball and 80_ yards to go…

          Report

6. Did he spike it in time?Report

   1. No! DUCKS WIN! DUCKS WIN! DUCKS WIN!

      Oh, happy day!Report

      1. WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!Report

         1. Most entertaining game I have seen all year!Report

            1. ESPN.com writers were predicting it had the makings of an instant classic.  Good call on their part.Report

            2. Even better than UGA/Mich St.? Really?Report

               1. That’s not what was said.Report

               2. Didn’t see that one.Report

7. ‘grats to Oregon, game well played.

   Now that the most exciting of the bowl games is over…let’s prepare for the yawnfest that’ll be the BCS championship… What’s the expected score line? 6-3?Report

8. Congrats to the Oregon Ducks and their fans on their first Rose Bowl win in 95 years!Report

   1. What an elegant backhanded compliment!  [slow clap]

      And kudos to Ball and Wilson.  They gave us every bit as much trouble as I feared.  (I like Wisconsin, really; this is the first time I’ve rooted against them in the Rose Bowl.)Report

      1. Just playing along with the spirit you injected into the thread at the outset, James. 😉 Congrats.  A well-played game on both sides, at least taking the defensive limitations    (and offensive prowess) of the teams as a starting point.Report

   2. Every 95 years, like clockwork! And may I second James – I had not seen WI play until today. They are a blast, and both Ball and Wilson were amazing. Amazing athletes.Report

9. I ended up missing the second half between feeding the toddler, cleaning up, eating our own dinner and putting her to bed. I’m still conflicted on whether or not I am sorry I missed it. By all accounts it was really exciting, but I still take the fortunes of my alma mater much too seriously.

   Plus, those helmets. The Ducks’ victory proves the football gods are not who we think they are.Report

   1. The helmets were awwweesommmme!Report

      1. Goodness, were they ever.

         Fantastic game by both squads. Wish I could say the same of my own alma mater’s (winning) performance.Report

      2. I liked the design, but the reflectiveness made it hard to really see.Report
