After one of the craziest Christmases in recent memory (see last post), we enjoyed a remarkably peaceful New Year's Eve by staying home. The highlight of the evening for me was:
- Finding out OU has a basketball player named Tiny Gallon.
- Watching Tiny Gallon do this:
There was a 50-minute delay while they brought in and set up a new basketball goal. Thus, the last game of the decade turned into the first game of the new decade. OU lost badly, but provided the most interesting highlight by far.
Also, props to the OU football team who, earlier in the day, won its bowl game (finally!) against a tough Stanford team.
To complete the OU-sports theme, I'll leave you with this quote from ESPN Big 12 blogger Tim Griffin, regarding Alabama's recent victory over Texas:
A victory would have made Texas the favorite for team of the decade in the Big 12. A pair of national championships would have been hard to argue with.
But now, Oklahoma's six Big 12 championships and one national title trumps the Longhorns' two Big 12 titles and one national championship in 2005.
