I know this thread is going to be full of LOL Rutgers which is fine, but this is my national championship right here. We didn't just win, we looked like a legitimately good football team. Seriously go look at some highlights, some of Pop Watson's throws were nuts. I almost wonder if this might be the year we manage our first ever bowl bid. I'm so happy y'all

Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
