As I sat (stood) at the greatest sporting event I've ever attended, I asked this question about a thousand times, "when will they show us why they're #1." The fact of the matter then became clear, that they had been doing it the whole time; for the first time ever, we were able to withstand it.
When the score was 27-14 in the second half, I couldn't stop thinking that this was when they wore us down. One more score for them and there is no way we can come back. They were stupid enough to throw the ball, though, as Matt Flynn is an absolutely awful passer. We were able to get some scores and clutch FG's (whaaaaaaaa????), and what the hell, it's OT. Brax. We won. Bliss. The post-game playing of "Believe" literally brought tears to my eyes.
The scary thing is now we have to face, quite possibly, a better and certainly more rested team in Florida. There is a chance that they can roll into Commonwealth and smoke us. Of course I think we can beat them, but it will take a better effort than what we gave Saturday (somehow).
Get to GameDay. Get smashed. Support the Bass. Bumper stickers soon and a mention in the CJ Features section Saturday. Street cred, son. More tomorrow...
