Yesterday? Was a day of great triumph and celebration amongst my peoples. My Iowa Hawkeyes killed it in the Orange Bowl. Like, complete and utter domination.
Thank you, sweet eight-pound, six-ounce baby Jesus in your golden fleece diaper.

And I will admit that when they were showing season highlights during the pregame show? Somebody got a little bit teary-eyed. Never mind how blissed out I was that BCS games actually have pregame shows and gaudy half-time shows. It's big time, my friends. Big frickin' time.
But about the time the game ended? One of my high school classmates passed away. She'd had a massive stroke and was life-flighted Monday night. Last night, she passed. She left behind a husband and two little kids.
I didn't know her super well, but I'm from a small town - we are tight tribe. She was never anything but smiling and kind. She grew up to be a nurse. She was a good person.
So, sweet baby Jesus? I'm having trouble understanding. I can only imagine how those two little kids will ever understand the loss of their mommy.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Cha Cha. A wife and mother and so young - it's just sad. I don't understand this sort of thing either.
That is a very tough, very sad thing. But crap happens.
I know. I lost a parent when I was barely four and my little sister was not yet two.
(We may serve as a cautionary tale, however...)
How terribly sad for those kids and that husband. But the Hawkeyes? Made their state very happy indeed.
I'm so sorry about your classmate - that is awful.
For what it's worth - I did think of you while watching the game. With a mother from Atlanta I was obligated to also root for Tech, but equally happy when the Hawkeyes won. Congrats on a great season!
So sorry to hear about your classmate. That is rough.
So sorry to hear about your classmate. It really just sucks, big time. Being from a town in Iowa, I know about the tight knit group. My thoughts are w/her husband and children.
On a happier note, I loved the game!!! Way to go Hawkeyes!!!!
