Dude behind her is cracking me up more than she is.

"Wait... what happened? Did we lose?"
Girl on her right - your left - is also into it. Opps, someone slipped the losing Pong team from Michigan gif into the thread. (BTW, looks like someone is ready to hurl) I'm referring to the two OSU ladies in the previous gif, speaking of which, how'd the two guys behind them get into the student section? Am assuming the guy in the houndstooth shirt is a Bama fan and want to know how he got in there too.

Ohio State fans could be in for furniture bonanza

For Ohio State fans in the furniture market, now could be the time to buy at a store with locations in Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton.

All the Buckeyes have to do for your purchase to be free is win the national championship game on Jan. 12 by seven points or more.

Sometimes these furniture store promotions do pay off for the furniture buyer:

Astros' 63rd win costs Houston furniture store $4.2M

Paying up: Buckeyes' commanding victory means free furniture for hundreds

Ohio State fans are feeling mighty comfortable after Monday night's national title victory over Oregon. More than 500 lucky folks will get to take that notion even more literally.

Morris Home Furnishings, a Dayton-based company with 15 Ashley Furniture HomeStore and Better Sleep Shops locations in Ohio and Northern Ky., made a wager with customers -- should the Buckeyes beat the Ducks by seven or more points in the title game, the store would refund purchases of at least $1,999, according to The Columbus Dispatch.

That all added up in the promotion, which began Dec. 17 and ran through Dec. 30, and was also contingent upon the Buckeyes defeating Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Rob Klaben, vice president of marketing and advertising at Morris Furniture, told ABC News a third-party company would fund up to $1.5 million in rebates. Customers have the option to get either a rebate for the full amount of their original purchase or a store gift card worth 110 percent of that.

I found this on the M-Zone (a scUM blog); this is hilarious:

Alabama's Sugar Bowl Summed Up in One Picture

Our old MZone blogging pal, @AWoolley42, sent us this pic he saw on UniWatch of a 'Bama fan at the Sugar Bowl. I think it pretty much perfectly sums up the night for the Fighting Sabans. And I can't resist the perfect caption: ROLL...Turd?

I think this was the longest run by 'Bama all night.

Blackledge had an amazing game as far as anticipating what was coming next. He's called 2 or 3 plays exactly, and he's been just a few plays off on other key moments like the Amari Cooper TD and the Cardale INT.

Game update: We're down 21-6, and it feels like we're about to set the B1G back 10 more Herbie years. Woe is us.

I have to stay up late doing some work, so I have this game on the DVR in the background. Alabama just scored their first TD, and the pulling guard STILL had a false start that went uncalled. I don't know how many times they can keep getting away with that.
Probably as many times as that damn grinch returns those nasty whos down in whoville's presents every year even though i want him to let the sled go. *sigh* maybe next christmas

I'm still not all the way over this game yet - the National Title game was awesome, but this game was an absolute classic.

I've found myself looking back at this game more than the Oregon game. After the Bama game you just knew this was a team of destiny.

Exactly. I was moderately surprised when we beat Bama but you just knew nothing would stop them from getting the title. Plus this game had a little more late suspense...it should not have, but then again neither should have Oregon past the 1st quarter. But above all else, we finally got the UFM vs. Saban matchup we pined for and to be honest, beating them was the barometer of greatness we sought for the last half decade or so. Recruits were brought in by Urban with the "we're going to beat Bama" mantra and we reached that earlier than expected. Damn it still feels so good.

I always wondered where Vonn Bell came from to make that intereception.
OMG! Vonn Bell made one of the greatest plays in Ohio State history with that interception. I just saw an alternative angle video of that play. Bell was completely on the opposite side of the field and ran full speed and in one motion leaped into the air at the exact moment to intercept what looked like a wide open TD pass to the Alabama TE! He didn't "bait" Sims, he recognized the TE getting past the defense on that side and ran full speed from the opposite side to make that play! Still, in all my years of watching college football, that had to be one of the greatest interceptions ever. Bell was out wide covering Cooper on that play and Bama tried to trick our defense. It "almost" worked.
"Special" is inadequate to describe his play as a sophomore.

This is the "normal" video. I can't find the opposite field view video again.
