The Fiesta Bowl is, for me, Schrödinger’s Game. Until I watch on TiVo (or accidentally learn the result), Boise both won & lost, as did TCU.

This implies that the Fiesta Bowl is a Quantum Wave Function. / Well, here’s hoping that nobody unwelcomely Pops it at you before you’re ready to open that Box for yerself. / Meow meow meow! ;}

Damnit, if i hadn’t second guessed myself I could have extended my lead.

Well, for me, the waveform has collapsed. And for me personally, it was a surprising result.

The game could still be going on, for all you know!

I think we’re in the 600th. OT at the moment.

I particularly enjoyed Boise’s triple reverse flea flicking fumblerooskie play at the end of the 77th overtime. Who could have known that it would only be the 274th best play of the game? Or that with all the marriage proposals, the Boise team now has an average of 5 wives per player?

Seriously though, good game, and Boise is uber-awesome to watch.

What’s the score again? 549-549?
kcatnd Says:

Unbelievable. It’s now 693-693. That last TCU conversion had to be the longest two-point conversion play in history. I thought he was down after the 4th or 5th lateral, but the officials got it right. Nice infographic showing how the attendance went up DURING the game due to all of the births.

Also, 4 players became fathers since kickoff.
