Happy New Year

Quick hitters on the first day of the new year:

1. Big New Year's Eve Plans? Giggle. Around 5 PM we cemented Father of the Year honors when we took #ThePlayMaker'sSister to look for a 12/31 new outfit. Back home, we made chicken quesadillas for dinner. That was followed by intense foosball games with @ThePlayMaker12 and #TheWife, now known as #TheLima. We watched yet another SEC team go down in flames (well done, Georgia Tech) while enjoying The Messiah, Our Guy Brent, on the telecast. At 11:45 we herded @Beeks_the_Dog into #TheVolvo and drove to pick up #ThePlayMaker'sSister (and two friends) from a party. Safely back home at 12:15, we closed out the night with our annual tradition: finishing A Christmas Carol while sitting by the Christmas tree listening to Johnny Mathis Christmas on #The Bose

2. There's no such thing as a bad college football bowl game. However, today's New Year's Day games prior to the playoff games are utterly anticlimactic. Missouri and Minnesota? ZZZZZ. Baylor and State? Who cares? Auburn and Wisconsin is the only game remotely worth watching. Gus Malzahn versus Barry Alvarez (hello, old friend) is theatrical.  

3. Playoff Predictions! We loathe FSU and their fat, idiotic, criminal quarterback. But we think they will sneak past the Ducks, 28-27. In the other semi-final, it's too hard to believe Ohio State can win with a third string quarterback. Tide will roll, 21-17.
