Now 8:54 PM on Tuesday 31 December. The Chicken Filet Bowl game is half over, and it's a goddamned abortion. Duke leads 38-17, and has scored on EVERY possession in the first two quarters. Texas A&M looks like a team that has no business playing in a bowl game, especially considering most people thought the Aggies might be ahead by three touchdowns at this point. This should be renamed the Chickenshit Bowl.
My worst fear has been that for two seasons, Manziel has made the entire team look better than it actually was, and that if he was ever ineffective, the whole fucking show would topple like a house of cards. If the other team controls Manziel, the Aggies don't have anything else.
Added 11:00 PM same day: Are you fucking kidding me? A&M wins 52-48 in the most amazing Aggie comeback I can remember. In the third quarter, the defense kept Duke from scoring on their first two drives, giving the offense some breathing room and an opportunity to narrow the gap to 38-31. Manziel returned to expected form, making crucial plays with his arm and his feet. Ironically, the defense won the game with two interceptions. The first was returned for a TD that put the Aggies ahead 52-48 (their first lead of the night), and the second ended the final Duke drive and allowed A&M to run out the clock. Duke was better than expected, and I was sure they were going to win until that second interception.
This was exciting football, and I'm too wired to get much sleep tonight. I'd rather watch A&M win a blowout in which the outcome is never in doubt.
