FRIENDS, WE MADE IT! Well, not that I really want college football to be over but I think we all deserve a pat on the back for the emotional rollercoaster we just endured for the last 13 weeks. Also, did y’all plan accordingly for the Michigan vs. Ohio State game!? I don’t want to say I told you so but…

First and foremost, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I traveled home to Dallas and the took a little road trip to Austin for the TCU vs. Texas game. To say it was a somber atmosphere is an understatement. But beyond Charlie Strong getting the boot, we had a lot more ups than downs over the weekend. I decided we needed GIFs to show my excitement for the next holiday! And he’s also my candy/sugar/overall happiness twin. Enjoy!

Finding out that Adoree’ Jackson is the second player in the last 10 seasons to score a touchdown on a punt, kickoff return, and reception in the same game (USC 45, Notre Dame 27):

The thought of 5–7 teams heading to a bowl game:

Louisville lost to Kentucky and Lamar Jackson totally opened up the Heisman race (Kentucky 41, Louisville 38):

Houston lost their final regular season game and coach within a matter of days (Memphis 48, Houston 44):

When Charlie Strong was told “it depends on the TCU game” before he was fired:

THE RISE IS REAL! THE RISE IS REAL AND COLORADO IS HEADING TO THE PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIP! (Colorado 27, Utah 22):

When the coaching carousel and potential candidate talks begin:

Once Western Michigan completed their undefeated season (Western Michigan 55, Toledo 35):

A summary of Jim Harbaugh’s postgame press conference to the referees (Ohio State 30, Michigan 27, 2OT):

Tyler Durbin’s apology letter before he sent “The Game” in OT:

WHAT THE HECK, ARKANSAS! IT’S MIZZOU (Missouri 28, Arkansas 24):

All the Texas Longhorn fans after Tom Herman was hired:
