Day 279: Go Badgers! Go Big Ten!

The Badgers beat Auburn 34-31 in overtime yesterday in the Outback Bowl. GO BUCKY!!! Mr. E and I considered going to an Outback Steakhouse today to take advantage of the free appetizer offer (coconut shrimp) as a result of the Big Ten win (had Auburn won, the offer would have been for a Bloomin' onion), but we decided that even our loyalty to Big Red wasn't compelling enough reason for us to hit up the chain restaurant.

Mr. E was even happier when Ohio State beat Alabama later in the day, as that brings a Big Ten team closer to winning the inaugural College Football Playoff, which will be played in Dallas on January 12. Good thing we'll be home from our SF trip in time for Mr. E to watch the game, especially if Ohio State wins its semi-final!
