The story of one postseason college football game, as told through social media:

Chip Kelly’s postgame interview tonight should be a blast. Nothing but death stares and no comments.
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 3, 2013
It’s not overkill in the slightest to remind you all again that this could be a semifinal game for the national championship.

To beat Oregon: have Stanford’s front seven. To beat K-State: hope Collin Klein duffs it a lot. Neither team will lose!

However cool you think Oregon’s uniforms are, they’re that much cooler in person. twitter.com/davidubben/sta…

That camera angle made it look like the Fiesta Bowl was Kansas State vs. Predator.

Welcome back, De’Anthony Thomas. Remember him? Just opened the Fiesta Bowl with a kick return touchdown. Oregon then goes for 2. 8-0.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 4, 2013
I like how DeAnthony Thomas almost hurt himself decelerating so he didn’t crash into the wall behind the end zone

POIIIIIINTS POOOOOOIIIIINTS MUST DEVOUR POOOOOIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNTTTTTTTSSSSSS

Bill Snyder forced to dip into his reserve tin of fortitude already. He has thousands of these tins.
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 4, 2013
It should be said that Ted Ginn began a bowl game the same way in the same stadium, scoring in the same end zone. Then Florida 41, OSU 14.

Lane Kiffin, watching De’Anthony Thomas and regretting he never got to put him on defense.

CHART SAYS GO FOR TWO. (My chart is a laminated 3×5 card with the number two on it.)
— Tom McGrath (@TCMcG) January 4, 2013
When you hit Collin Klein that hard, he emits a smell of freshly baked cookies. He’s just that wholesome.

Inside the Fiesta Bowl mascot is John Junker and 17 strippers. How’s he keep doing that!!
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 4, 2013
The sledgehammer block was delivered by Oregon’s sophomore lineman Hroniss Grasu, who comes from a long line of captcha words.

Fiesta Bowl: Reported intoxicated person ejected by police, called 911 to complain while being escorted out.
— Arizona Newsnet (@ArizonaNewsnet) January 4, 2013
Announcer, “I saw Kenjon Barner come over to you and same something, what did he say.” Chip Kelly, “That we love each other.” Priceless.

That’s either why you do or don’t want to be a head football coach: Meyer really has no idea who Owen Wilson is.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) January 4, 2013
Bill Snyder must have slipped that young man a cinnamon Altoid!
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 4, 2013
Once I’m commissioner, if your offensive play call fakes the cameraman, that’s four points.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) January 4, 2013
A 1-point safety!!!!! Never seen it. It’s like Big Foot.

“We have an usual ruling” RON CHERRY ALERT RON CHERRY ALERT

Was that a rouge?

IT’S COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S VERSION OF A ROUGE

*Checks 1-point safety off bucket list
— sarah sprague (@sarah_sprague) January 4, 2013
Twitter is messing with me. 1-point safety.C’mon now.Seriously, you’re all in on it, right?
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) January 4, 2013
a one-point safety harness would be grossly ineffective
— Jon Bois (@jon_bois) January 4, 2013
Apparently Brad Nessler and I have witnessed two of the four one-point safeties in CFB history. Guess we’re going to get tattoos.

TIME OF POSSESSION IS FOR SUCKERS

Chip almost ran off the field before the trophy presentation. School officials had to chase after him and get him back.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 4, 2013
No offense to Tostitos but cash funneled through the grandma remains the best sponsor in college football
— Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel) January 4, 2013
Yellin’ Tostitos lady, stay here, you’re drunk and we like you.
— edsbs (@edsbs) January 4, 2013
How many people on stage right now have been indicted?
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 4, 2013




Amazing. None of these wise pundits mentioned the scan of the stands and the fact that the Oregon supporters are significantly easier on the eyes than the Wildcat fan base.
