The story of one afternoon in college football’s postseason, as told through social media:
Our remedy is SMASH MOUTH FOOTBALL. But also try some CARROT JUICE. RT @optoloper: I need your best hangover remedy. It’s for a friend.

Recipe for attendance disaster at the Heart of Dallas Bowl. 11 a.m. New Year’s kick. Lopsided matchup. Big OSU hoops game on Mon. Then rain.

Depends, what time does it start? RT @lakebuenavista: Will you be watching the @capitalonebowl today? bit.ly/TKn0TC

First mistake of the day by Boilers RT @carminjc: #Purdue wins the toss and defers to 2nd half. Cowboys to receive.

The tax staggered into the street, bleeding from his chest, as the Taxslayer threw a bloody knife into the gutter and ran.

@andy_staples I KNOW WE’RE DOOMED WHY EVEN PLAY THE GAME

We’re all Team Cheese Fries. RT @bama_man_judd: No kidding who is team Aussie Cheese Fries?

The kid trying to recover in EZ for Georgia looked as if he was trying to grab a pile of mercury.

Say. Our. Name. RT @btntomdienhart: A #Huskers win in @outbackbowl easily would be biggest of day for #B1G.

Jarvis Jones plus Taylor Martinez really is a collision of two of the very finest chaos agents

Remember when Mike Gundy went onside while leading by like 49-0? He just called a throwback pass up 35-0
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 1, 2013
Would it be practical to track a statistic like “holding penalties drawn” for guys like Clowney? As Gruden says, a flag is basically a sack.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 1, 2013
Hide ya wife, hide ya ACLs RT @pistolsguy: Gundy is taunting Purdue fans by playing all these QBs.

Northwestern has TaxSlayed the bowl drought, folks. Congrats to @coachfitz51 and the team. First 10-win season since 1995 Rose Bowl team.

I would play for Pat Fitzgerald. He would regret having me on his team, but I would play for him.

Jadeveon Clowney: “Fixed that for you.”
— Alex Nobert (@alexnobert) January 1, 2013
If you believe in football gods balancing the scales, they just issued the angriest possible corrective in the Outback Bowl.

Best part of that Clowney play was how far the RB’s helmet went flying. At least 5 yards. Helmet didn’t just fall off. It went AIRBORNE.
— Jimmy Traina (@JimmyTraina) January 1, 2013
I like the way Clowney just plucked the football up off the ground like, hey, this might be that guy’s spleen.
— @BarkingCarnival (@BarkingCarnival) January 1, 2013
I want an ESPN 30 for 30 that is only about that one Clowney play.
— thejuiceisgood (@thejuiceisgood) January 1, 2013
I think Clowney could pick me up by my head with one hand.

Jadeveon Clowney killed a man, then PALMED THE BALL. Holy GIF sbn.to/Vr0xH6

Connor Shaw on 4th and 3 could mean literally anything. He might turn into a flowerpot mid-play.
— edsbs (@edsbs) January 1, 2013
Important: Connor Shaw is considered the toughest guy in his family, over a guy named Jaybo who ran the triple option.

It’s mentally tiny to draw any meaningful conclusions from arbitrary one off exhibition games. Base it on arbitrary *championship* games.

First thought after the win: in #TDKR Batman when Catwoman disappears as he’s talking, “So that’s what that feels like.”
