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:Â Bulls&*^!!!
BK:Â 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:Â 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:Â No prob.
Biscuit:Â Thx
BK:Â Stan driving after nd dumb pick.
BK: (out of nowhere)Â Oregon down 16-0
BK:Â Stan missed fg
Biscuit:Â 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:Â Keep us updatd.
Biscuit to BK:Â tell me we r holding them
BK: Fourth and goal. 30 sec left
Biscuit to Sis:Â Seconds left. 4th down, stanford ball on ND 6.
BK:Â No good!
Biscuit:Â &*%^ 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:Â Tell us final
Biscuit to Sis: Stopped! ND wins!
Biscuit’s Sister: Ha ha ha. finally. yippee!Â
Biscuit to BK: What play did they run? How’d it happen?
BK:Â Dropped pass back of end zone
Biscuit: Fan-freaking-tastic! We should put this playbyplay up on hls…
BK:Â Ha!
Biscuit’s Dad:Â yo yo go irish the dad
Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.

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.
