Well. That was unexpected.

The Apple Cup is done. The fat lady has sung, and the “fat guy” nearly ran an interception to the endzone. How sweet that would have been.

Instead, we “settled” for a Furney field goal to end the game. In overtime.

We won.

My head was in my hands in the third quarter. But the team didn’t quit. It had the grit Leach was looking for all year. It had the character I wanted to see too. Those four hours were some of the most spirited football I’ve seen out of this team in years.

Thank you Cougs, thank you for everything. I was wrong two days ago, like everybody else. I’m sorry, please play like that more often and I’ll never doubt you again.
