That's the word I used about 100 times today... if not more.
Unreal.
I had an early start this morning, and my first thought was on my newly adopted LSU Tigers spot in the BCS rankings. After the freaky Saturday I knew anything was possible and that the Tigers may well be playing for a national championship this year.
That was the first time I used it. They slid up to #2 in the standings and have secured a spot to play Ohio State for the National Championship this year. What college team gets three shots at being the best team in college ball?
The most recent time, of course, was tonight watching my Patriots play a game that had me pacing in front of the television like some freak of nature, much to the amusement of Rachel. It was an insane game that pretty much went down to the VERY end with Baltimore giving us all we could handle. The final play being a hail mary pass by Baltimore for the win that came so close to hitting the end zone I almost had to check my pants.
Unreal right? The Pats are 12-0 now, and the damn undefeated talk will continue for another week.
The interesting thing about todays unreal rampage? I went ahead and picked it up at Best Buy... Unreal Tournament 3 that is. The game looks absolutely fantastic, and is every bit the crazy twitch fest I remember, this time with beautiful cut scenes for the campaign.
What a day!

Haters rejoice! With a 27-13 pounding of the New England Patriots, the Denver Broncos ended their 10 game playoff win streak and hope for taking a third consecutive bowl trophy home.
Denver's drilling of New England seemed to start after a questionable pass interference call led to their first touchdown. Factor in a very un-Patriot like 4 turnovers and the game was a practical giveaway. Denver moves on to face the winner of tomorrows Pitt-Indy match up next Sunday.
I'm a wee bit depressed now. Going to have a nice cry. :P
