As you already know if you saw my post 2 weeks ago, I’m not at all unhappy with the outcome of the game that just ended. Given that a lot of folks weren’t giving the Giants much of a chance (even as well as the Giants have played the last 4 or 5 games), I thought they played very well. I’ll admit I was a bit nervous when the Patriots scored in the 4th quarter, but Eli Manning did a great job of leading the team down for that winning score. The defense really won it for NY though, they kept pressure on Brady the whole game and never let Moss or Malroney hurt them. 11 consecutive wins on the road (although the Super Bowl is a road game for both teams, so….), pretty impressive. So, the Manning brothers win consecutive Super Bowls. Congrats, Giants. Next year, it will be my Browns.

Sigh… Well, the Buckeyes didn’t do it in the National Championship game (though they were really there a year early anyway) and the Browns couldn’t pull it together against the Bengals to get into the playoffs. Then the Colts had a letdown last week and the Packers couldn’t do it last night (I thoroughly enjoyed watching last week’s game in the snow from the comfort of my nice warm, dry living room). I guess I’ll have to root for the Giants in the Super Bowl, since the first team I really followed and rooted for was the 1972 Dolphins. Until a few years ago, I could have told you the entire starting lineup on both sides of the ball (that won’t make a new friend of mine very happy, since she is a huge Patriots fan, but…). Go Giants, ruin New England’s dreams of a perfect season!!!
Signs of the Apocalypse?
I actually found myself rooting for the Michigan Wolverines earlier this week. Okay, so it was a bowl game and they were playing Florida, so it was for the honor of the Big Ten. An interesting fact I saw someplace earlier this week. The Buckeyes are 1-9-1 against SEC times all-time. Guess who the win and they tie were against? LSU. So, here’s to making it 2-9-1 on Monday night.
