The Chess Mind

Ohhhhhhh yes!

One of the great comebacks of all time, and especially sweet considering the opponent.

"He only is a true conquerer, and shall be crowned at the last, who continueth till war's trumpet is blown no more."

Congrats on the great comeback - this Buckeye was only able to catch the 4th quarter but just like Topalov's miscalculation, you could sense it coming. See you in January!

RoughKnight: It might still happen, but (assuming no prior accidents) there's still USC for us. And you guys still have to worry about the gang from Ann Arbor: they beat up on us, we beat up on Penn State, and today OSU struggled with them until their self-destruction at the very end.

On another happy note, I was absolutely delighted to see that ND's other bete noire, Boston College, lost a heartbreaker with eight seconds left against a very mediocre NC State squad.

Wow! And to think I was going to rag you at half-time about the score.

Truth be told, I was thinking of ragging myself at halftime, too - I briefly considered writing a comment that it was time to look for some MSU felon for my final score report.

Wow... I was so upset at halftime that I figured reading the Bible was a better use of my time than watching the game -- even if we did win, I wasn't sure I could be happy with the result. Perhaps I used my time wisely, but I wish I could have done both!
