Not So Bad After All

I guess once in a lifetime a weekend comes along that tries to redeem all the horrible losses I've suffered at the hands of three points. There's such a long list of people to thank!

First, the KU defense. Thank you for continuing to play even though you had to believe in your heart of hearts that the stupid offense really was never going to get it together. Who knew? Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause. Brian Luke didn't wear a red hat, but he did perform a Thanksgiving miracle.

Second, Scott Webb. The third field goal of the afternoon was the real gem, a 34 yarder to win the game in overtime. Is this the return of Bruce Kallmeyer? (1983 All American, 233 points scored, No. 3 all time scorer). Webb was also Big 12 Special Teams Player of the week (yes, the third time this season that a KU player has been honored by the Big 12).

Third, Larry Johnson. Guess he just had to get pissed off enough.

Fourth, Greg Wesley. You of three pickoffs. He told his teammates before the game he would get three, and he did. He did the same in 2002 against the Dolphins. Predict three, get three. Make it three for three against Denver next week?

Fifth, K-State. The only Big 12 North team not to qualify for a bowl game. Sorry Stacy.

And finally, Dave McDaniel, Iowa State grad and silly fool. I am now ten dollars richer.

I promise I will no longer dwell on the number three......until March.
