It was day after monster snow storm
Was worried I’d be stuck at work and wouldn’t make it home to watch game

Great game at a baseball stadium (har har).
Didn't Munoz get an excessive celebration penalty for the somersault?
That's my only bowl game I attended. The venue wasn't terrible -- at least the catwalks didn't impede football.
Sanu had a nice game at QB. The somersault was something to behold from such a large man.
The Beef O Brady's ads were politically incorrect. It was a mom, dad, and two kids sitting in a booth with their food and a large pitcher of beer. Who was driving the kids home after mom and dad polished off that pitcher?

Snow fell on the day of the game - Saturday. I remember people had trouble flying back after the game because of the snow and cancellations, etc. I didn't travel to that one. Made a big pot of chili and enjoyed the win at home with the snow coming down.
No politically incorrect thing here. The children were the ones who drank the pitcher of beer ;)
