My perfect bracket hangs in the balance

Purdue up 55-51 with the ball and less than a minute to go.

Purdue is fine, despite taking a really dumb shot with about 40 seconds left. But they're now up 5 with 28 seconds left.

These FTs are big.

Rick Grosvenor said...

Game over. Purdue up 4 with 16.7 seconds left. Your perfect bracket remains intact.

I really wish I could still use my analog TV to watch the games while I'm on the computer, instead of running out to the living room everytime something happens. Wait. Maybe I should just get a laptop?

Scott Barrett said...

Phew ... this is how the Patriots perfect regular season started. 4-0.

Scott Barrett said...

Or get longer cables and move your TV.

Rick Grosvenor said...

How'd that season work out for the Patriots, by the way?

SheilaM said...

That was cold!

(The part about the Patriots, not the cables for my TV, LOL)

Rick Grosvenor said...

Sheila, maybe you could borrow Rick's laptop.

It didn't end in the conference championship game, at home, in overtime.

Rick Grosvenor said...

Eh, when you end the season as a loser, does it really matter when it happens?

Scott Barrett said...

Probably not. But I needed to knock you off your high horse.

Rick Grosvenor said...

The difference is, I don't brag about a season in which my team almost won.

Scott Barrett said...

You can't be serious, right? Yes, they lost the SB, but they went 16-0. And in a day and age when the salary cap effects all 32 teams, that's an outstanding feat. You're an idiot if you can't see that.

Rick Grosvenor said...

Grammar police: affect, not effect.

It was a pretty remarkable feat (and that's the nicest thing I'll ever say about your evil Patriots), but so was going 13-3 and reaching the NFC championship game with a QB everyone thought was washed up on a team that no one thought would win more than nine games.

In the end, though, they both add up to a big nothing.

Scott Barrett said...

So washed up that the Jets offered him a bunch of money to play for them and everyone thought they were going to the SB after beating Tennessee and starting 8-3.

Crap, I thought it was affect, but Jim Johnson wasn't here for me to ask.

SheilaM said...

They actually went 18-0. Steve has a shirt that says that (a guy at work had them printed before the Super Bowl. I blame him!)

Damn capitalism and its jinxes!
