We were able to grab some quality shots of TCU’s celebration tonight. We’ll post them up tomorrow, but for now, we leave you with this shot of the entire team.

We’d like to thank you guys for reading the blog. Be sure to come back next Tuesday night for a live blog of the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. It should be another great one.

Update: We’ve uploaded our photos from the Poinsettia Bowl. They are available here.

A few quick things I have been thinking about as the first half progressed:

• It’s relatively unexpected to see such an attractive cheer team for Navy, no offense to them but you just don’t expect women who look that good to attend service academies.
• Despite their good looks, this cheer team is not very good.
• Still trying to figure out why the Navy mascot is a ram.
• There’s a kid in the press box who is no more than 12 years old. The press pass explicitly states you have to be 18 to have such a pass. He’s here with his dad, but how the hell is he allowed up here?
• Why is the guy in front of me looking at pictures of girls in bras?
• How many hours did the public address guy put into practicing pronouncing the name of Navy quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada? He’s said it three or four times this game and each time its flawless. Needless to say, I’m very impressed.
• Why is the Utes mascot a red tailed hawk? Are they not allowed to have a fake Indian tribe member out there anymore? They had to settle for an hawk? Thank you NCAA. Regardless, his attempts to “fight” the Navy mascot were dismal.
• The way Utah lines up to punt really bothers me. Line up like a normal football team, none of this BS spread out three people in front of the punter garbage.
• Someones flatulence smelled like death. I think we have managed to identify the perp, but cannot confirm that.
• Jason Kidd is unreal, and I am thankful to have him on my fantasy basketball team.

7:39 P.M. The first half comes to a close, some of the lights in the stadium go out. Fireworks perhaps? Or just more of the pep bands? Only time will tell
