Thanksgiving Play by Play
The Biscuit
I was stuck at a family event the night of the Stanford game, and missed the entire second half. Given that I’d be away from Sunny California for 4 days at that point, I didn’t have a chance to get the Tivo programmed. Plus, I just wasn’t going to wait until Sunday to know the result after such a crazy first half. So, I got the play by play from Bad Kermit. This is what it’s like to catch the 2nd half of such a crazy game via text messages from BK, while munching on a massive feast of Chinese food in China Town, Philadelphia over Thanksgiving weekend.
BK: Bulls&*^!!!
BK: Throw the &*^%ing ball away!
(these were texts I received before asking for the play-by-play updates, as I was attempting to use Yahoo and ESPN box scores through my PDA. but then that phone died, and I went to BK for help)
Biscuit: What’s the score? Pulled away to fam dinner. Could use updates
BK: 14-14. Twelve min left
Biscuit: We didn’t score after zibbys return to the 30?
BK: No, Got a td catch reversed. Bs —
Biscuit: %^*&. Keep me updated? Would appreciate it
BK: No prob.
Biscuit: Thx
BK: Stan driving after nd dumb pick.
BK: (out of nowhere) Oregon down 16-0
BK: Stan missed fg
Biscuit: Nice
BK: Hughes looks great. on the nine after big run –
Biscuit: Hells yea. Hughes is a pimp
BK: Td! Six min left.
Biscuit’s Sister: What’s the score? dad wants 2 no
Biscuit to Sis: 21 14 nd is up. 5 min left
Biscuit’s Sister: Keep us updatd.
Biscuit to BK: tell me we r holding them
BK: Fourth and goal. 30 sec left
Biscuit to Sis: Seconds left. 4th down, stanford ball on ND 6.
BK: No good!
Biscuit: &*%^ yeah!
(at this point I stood up and cheered at the table. my wife’s family was confused, as were all of the asians in the joint. i think they may have thought of me as a very strange man, playing video games on my cell phone during dinner and all…)
Biscuit’s Sister: Tell us final
Biscuit to Sis: Stopped! ND wins!
Biscuit’s Sister: Ha ha ha. finally. yippee!
Biscuit to BK: What play did they run? How’d it happen?
BK: Dropped pass back of end zone
Biscuit: Fan-freaking-tastic! We should put this playbyplay up on hls…
BK: Ha!
Biscuit’s Dad: yo yo go irish the dad

In the interest of full disclosure, that first “bullshit” came after the terrible reversal on Grimes’ catch.
100% justified. I just like that that’s the first thing I got from you - and it was out of nowhere to me since I wasn’t able to watch at the time.
