Many more can be found on the main index page or by looking through the archives.
All through the second half, the camera on the Missouri sideline captured overjoyed players giving speeches to the people back home: "What's up St. Joe.", etc... At one point a Chad Johnson want-to-be with a leopard-patterned blonde mohawk went into a prolonged flame to the camera. You could clearly here a coach say something like, "Uh, guys, could we focus on the game a little more." It was right then that I thought, "These bastards deserve to lose." Perhaps I was already a little irritated to have the Gerald Ford funeral coverage interrupt the game in the first half. The OSU radio team - who are really good by the way - even gave a shout-out to the TV viewers who had just grabbed their radios. Thank God they got the game back on for the 2nd half. Earlier when the Beavs beat USC I suggested on this very blog, that OSU should give tenure to Coach Riley. Sure it was meant in jest since so many wanted his head, but after today, I ask the question again: Can you give a coach tenure?

What a gutsy call to go for two!
I come from a Duck family, but I'm not afraid to say GO BEAVS!
Oh, and when I told my wife who was playing in this game she replied, "So it's the 'Show Me Your Beaver Bowl.'"

As a suffering Duck fan, I now know how Yosemite Sam felt when he said, "I hate that rabbit. . ."

If the two-point conversion had failed, bandwagon fans like me would be second-guessing forever. Gutsy, indeed. What a team.

I'm sure he'll settle for a million bucks.
