The last time the football champions of the Big Ten and Pac-12 met in a bowl game with the winner guaranteed to take home a crystal football (and, now, a gaudy football-shaped trophy as well) was... never?
Since the BCS came into being in the 1998 season... not until now. - Julian
Ohio State would have played Oregon... but in the Rose Bowl. Alabama would have played against independent Florida State in the Sugar. Might have seen TCU in the Cotton against... probably Michigan State. Kansas State vs. Georgia Tech in a somewhat unheralded Orange Bowl. - Julian
Those Oregon football players forgot that they were not from Stanford (where you can get away with poking fun at others that way).
#NoMeansNO Not classy. Important message, but not like that. - Julian
Drama at the Cotton Bowl Classic...
State WILL win this. - Julian
And there it is. - Julian
Welcome to... the future!
Hmm... CLIN-TON...
I had pie. Also, I slept too early.
The Doctor came back ten years ago.
Though, for a lot of current fans, the Doctor begins with, "GERONIMO!" - Julian
Of course, I am watching the Orange Bowl.
Tomorrow's Cotton Bowl Classic will be the first televised edition of the game to not appear on broadcast television.
At this point, I believe that only the Sun Bowl has never been on cable. - Julian
Pie (that I did not make) in the oven.
If Arizona gets the ball back, they will win.
At best, in overtime. - Julian
Not this time. Broncos survive. - Julian
Who am I kidding? I am just going to stay home tonight, and simply enjoy a day off from work.
Or, I could go to the casino... - Julian
Or, I could go into town... - Julian
Or, or... - Julian
There used to be a first night silver spring that was nice. More family oriented - Christina Pikas

Picked up some beer (high %ABV) that recommends aging for better flavor. Tasted good, but could definitely benefit from aging. Best kept at constant 50-60F/10-15C for long-term aging (a few mos. to a year). No basement; just a small closet that *might* be able to stay around 15C. Investment in a wine chiller worth it (along w/ more age-able beer)?

... This is when I came back after taking three months off from posting to social media (including Twitter). - Julian
In seven years, how much of Back to the Future Part II (currently watching) will be plausible? The technology, at least...
Not much, apparently. - Julian
But for the rest not much. - the king of the interweb
While I was sleeping (computer tucked me in again), my share ratio for the Ibex Torrent went over 3. Did my part. :)
This is my earliest native FriendFeed post that was also sent to Twitter. - Julian
