We talked about how funny it would be if Michigan State won by 60. We talked about how funny it would be if UCLA won. We did not talk about how funny it would be if UCLA won by 60.

Tried to take the dog out, only to learn that I no longer control the entrance to my house. No, Señor NightmareBiteyDemon owns the doorway now.

As you were, sir. We will use the back door. Or a window.
