For those who didn't get a chance to see the 5-hour long triple overtime Orange Bowl between Penn State and Florida State, you sure missed an amazing college football game. It finally ended at 1AM Eastern Time, with a hard-fought victory for Penn State (yay!).

The game was quite tense, with no scoring in the second half of the game except the safety and a field goal, which lead to a 16 to 16 tie and the necessity of overtime. It finally ended 26 to 23. The game was pretty much all defense and kicker blunders, with neither team getting any breaks.
The Rose Bowl is supposed to be more prestigious, but I doubt they'll get as good of a game as the Orange Bowl this year. Expect interesting things next year as a result.
Grats to Penn State!
Yeah, I know. You say the same thing every year: you let inertia and gravity do most of the work. But I still think it was an accomplishment completing yet another solar orbit.
After all, you're a big ball of molten rock that's slightly crispy at the edges. Getting all the way around the sun must be hard for one such as you. And all that space dust you eat, I'm surprised you even have the energy to wake up in the morning. And of course, you've got that pesky little moon following you around all day. I don't know how you have the patience for it.
Then you've got that infestation. Always digging into your crispy shell and blowing little holes in you. I appreciated your attempts at destroying some of their colonies with your weather system the past couple years. I still say you should shake a bit and wipe out the rest of them. Or maybe even try to hit another rock flying about. Although I suppose the pain might not be worth it.
Anyway, best of luck to you in your next orbit, Earth. I hope it's an easier one.
I'll be seeing you!
