Ohio State won the Rose Bowl! :hyper:
They were 4-point underdogs and won 26-17 (so my prediction for a 10-point win was a wee bit off). :lol:
And I thank you all for caring. :tup:

How'd I know you would respond within a few minutes? :hehe:

Actualy I'd like to take this opprtunity to thank your team (Purdue) for being there when the Buckeyes had their mid-season screw-up. The Bucks just might've even gone back to the National Championship again. I'd rather have a Rose Bowl Victory and another shot at the championship next year when the OSU offense is more mature. :tup:

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

I guess my uni has been playing in the MAC bowl whatever that is. Apparently they were just in over time. My parents emailed me to tell me about it. Does anyone know what the MAC bowl is?
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

That actually sounds believable for my uni.
